Girls Who Do Needlework Are Heterosexual

And they're proud of it too.


Boye Needle Company proclaimed "Girls Like Boye's" and proffered a tee-shirt which read "Every Girl needs a Boye" on the back cover of McCall's Needlework & Crafts, Spring 1978 issue.

Thinking I just might be willing to kill for one of those shirts, I did a search at eBay for Every Girl needs a Boye -- and finding just one (irrelevant) result, do you know what eBay suggested I might have meant?

Did you mean... every girl needs a bone ?

Now that's funny. And redundant.

You Know What Sucks?

Not Mia's first attempt at "narrative embroidery":



Which makes me think my first attempt to narrate via needlework would also be be a hand -- only with one finger raised, as a political statement. Make of that what you will.

High-Five Fridays #10

Less kitschy, but still eyebrow raising...

1) Hitler and the Seven Dwarfs likely needs some sort of an introduction (if you haven't heard about it yet), but I like to make you curious enough to click.

2) A beautiful (and slightly creepy) vintage tablecloth with the embroidered signatures of British WWII prisoners.

Too cool for school...

3) Slippity-do-da's Very Draining Post, Indeed.

4) KKC was Found in Mom's Basement. (How'd we get in her mom's basement?)

5) A high-five to Marty Weil for his patience during my interview with him at CQ.

Want to give high-fives too? Participation is a lot like Thursday Thirteen, only your post is links to who and what you like. (Plus, it's only 5 instead of 13!)

Find out how to give your High-Five Fridays here!

The purpose of this meme is to give high-fives to 5 people, posts, blogs and/or websites you've admired during the week. I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 5 high-fives on Friday. Trackbacks, pings, linky widgets, comment links accepted!

Visiting fellow High-Fivers is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your High-Fives in others comments (please note if NWS).
