1956 Hudson Estate (Station Wagon)

From Hudson Family Magazine, a winter issue, I presume. Gorgeous I-wish-it-were-winter cover: bare trees, snow, girl bundled in a wooly kerchief.

Smart Knitting Needlecraft - Ephemera 3 quatre

Another scanning session with the knitting, needlecraft, and crochet book/magazine. Good gifts for the holiday season... neat little knitted animals and such. And I'm not into babies, toddlers, or children of any sort. I am keen on these things, however, nod in admiration at those who create them, and happily, yes, keep a menagerie of stuffed/knitted/crocheted animals myself.

Smart Knitting Needlecraft - Ephemera 3 deux

Second scanning session from the knitting book/magazine. Thank you to 'Paul Martin's Handmade Revolution' for reminding and inspiring me! Mr Martin's lovable wackiness, massively apparent joie de vivre, and I must admit, cuteness, first got me hooked on his presentation in 'Britain's Hidden Heritage'. The addition of Mary Jane Baxter, milliner extraordinaire and all round lovely-seeming girl (the other two hosts are good as well), make this programme a hoot and a half. So very much crafting--top drawer! (Even if it is excruciatingly obvious that some 'fine art expert' is making the actual decision as to who wins the prize, and not the host-'judges'. It's the inspiration and lovely junk people make that count for me.) Cygnoir, once again, pour vous:

Cygnoir, this is for you. Wow. I feel like a DJ.

More to come from this magazine.
