After finding the sheet and shirt, the kids and I browsed the books for a while. I love looking for old cookbooks. Not old as in "blah," but old as in "wow that's so old it's cool!" And I found one that's really cool - the Southern Living 1983 Annual Recipes book. Every Southern Living recipe that was published the year that I was born. I get sentimental about my birth year. I even have a stack of Ensigns from 1983 - not all the months, but most of them. So it was exciting for me to find a big cookbook from that year.
There are a few photographs thrown in here and there, but it's mostly hand-drawn pictures, if any pictures are given at all. So awesome!
Anyway, keep an eye out for when I post Thomas' new suit. I haven't started on it yet, but I will shortly. I'm so excited! All in all, I consider this to have been a very successful D.I. run.

Oh so cool! How fun! I can't wait to see what you repurpose. Its fun, huh????
Yay for sewing, and cooking, and thrift stores. :)
So that's where you were when I called this morning! Stinker..... ;-) Can't wait to see how his suit turns out!
I love it when I find cool stuff at D.I. I remember sewing Sunday pants and vest (lined) for Justin - wow, those were the days! Can't wait to see pics of all the stuff you're going to be making. And way to be resourceful with material from older clothes - I'm so impressed!
I know everyone is all excited about the material and sewing and all that, so I'll be excited about the cookbook :D I really love home down Southern cooking, and someone in my ward said that Southern Living cookbooks have the best recipes for southern food. That'll be a fun book to cook from.
