Well I was going to do another Thriftin' Thursday post for ya all but all I had was some pillows I made using vintage fabric I scored at an antique store.  Hardly worthy of a full blog post and talk about a snooze fest.  Instead I was thinking about posting my plans for Rochelle's Sew for Victory 1940's inspired sew along.  I then got side tracked and headed over to YouTube and did a search on the 1940's.  I stumbled upon Glamour Daze's channel where there are a ton of wonderful videos on 1940's fashions and makeup tutorials.  I was in a 1940's trance for what seemed like hours.  My favorite video is the Rosie the Riveter Song.  I really wanted to post it here but they disabled embedding videos so your gonna have to trust me and head over to their page yourself!  Once you snap back into reality come back and read about my 1940's plans!!

I picked up some 1940's repro patterns from Simplicity when JoAnn's had Simplicity 5 for $5.  I also picked up a fun nautical print that I have the perfect anchor buttons for.  The fabric is two sided and I'm undecided on which side I should use...What do you all think? A or B?? (I'm making version C)

I'm also going to make the pants from this pattern and I'm pretty sure I'm going with the first swatch fabric (although I'm really loving the red too).

The sewing blogs have also been in a buzz about Julia Bobbin's 2nd Mad Men challenge.

Uhh yes I'm in! Duh!  I sat in the sidelines last year as sadly I had no clue what Mad Men was.  My stupid Dish provider had cancelled our AMC channel.  After seeing all the fabulous dresses and realizing what I was missing out on I quickly bought the first 4 seasons on Ebay and planted my butt on the couch for a whole weekend totally obsessed with the show.  Now then Dish has pulled their heads out of their behinds and added AMC back to our channel package. Yippee!

Here are my inspiration pieces,

And a big thank you and a shout out to Rachel over at Raywuwei who nominated me for the Liebster Blog Award. It's so very kind of you! *blushing*...

Oh and these two lovebirds wanted to wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day...
