</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I so wish that I would have thought of the idea for this pumpkin playdough in enough time to share it with you guys before Halloween...but maybe you all can use the idea next year!? </div><br />
.....Any who I wanted to make an easy and somewhat quick little gift to put in a toddler Halloween gift bag. So I came up with the idea to make playdough jack-o-lantern's of sorts. I simply created a huge batch of basic playdough and dyed it orange and added pumpkin pie spices. I then rolled it into balls, placed it in little plastic snack bags and drew an easy jack-o-lantern face. Easy right!?:)<br />

I came across the ever so cute <a href="http://modernkiddo.com/?p=6208" target="_blank">Peach</a> wearing the cutest vintage cowgirl outfit, which just so happened to be almost the same costume my little girl wore this year! How fun! Hears a few pics of little girls 60's Sears cowgirl costume. I made the horse with all intentions of it matching her costume!....but she wanted to help so of course it had to be pink!!:) So it didn't really match like mommy had intended but little girl was happy and that's all that matters, right!<br />

I found this fantastic vintage game a few months ago at a church yard sale. I intended on saving it as a Christmas gift for little girl, but a few gloom and doom weather days around here equaled the need to bring out something new! She was more into sorting everything by color and style then she was actually building a picture but she had fun and that's all that matters! Here's a few pics I took....how great are the sweat little pictures!<br />

As a little side note if you have not visited <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> you totally need to check it out, I'm a self confessed pinterest addict:) Here's a link to my <a href="http://pinterest.com/bluebirdlucys/">account</a> if you want to check out my pins:)<br />
<br />
Any who I love little projects like these because for the most part little girl could do it by herself. As well as the fact that it took longer than 5 minuets to complete, pretty much held her attention for most of the project, and it has very little set up time (which is usually where you loose their attention).<br />

<br />
Supply List:<br />
Clear contact paper<br />
A plate or something round to trace<br />
Nature items from your yard, most anything works but just be careful the items aren't to heavy.<br />
Yarn or string of somesort<br />
<br />
Steps:<br />
1.Trace your plates or other circular item on the back of your contact paper, cut out circles and set aside.<br />
<br />
2. Grab your little one and set out on your nature collecting adventure! You may need a bag to hold all your goodies!<br />
<br />
3. Once you've collected all your items peel the backing off of one of your contact paper circles. Have your little one stick their collected nature items onto the circle.<br />
<br />
4. Peel the backing off your other circle and carefully line up and stick the 2 together. They don't have to be to perfect as you can trim them if needed.<br />
<br />
5. Cut small hole in top and attach string. Hang and enjoy!<br />
<br />
All done!! <br />

So lets not talk about how long it's been since I've actually posted? Hmmm. February..maybe:) Any who moving on...last weekend we took a trip to our locale farmers market where we picked up all sorts of lovely's! One being a pretty little basket of heirloom tomatoes and a few cucumbers and an onion. All these tasty little items added up to be the perfect summer salad! I know that there are a ton of recipes out there for summer salad, but here's the one that I came up with! Kind of a little combination of other recipes that I had found, thrown in with the sad fact that I don't have a lot spices and such around the house so my recipe would have to be simple! So if your like me and have a lack of ingredients in your pantry this will be perfect for you:) <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Summer Salad:</span><br />
<u>Ingredients: </u><br />
Cucumbers (as many as you will need to feed your family)<br />
1 white onion<br />
Tomatoes (I used cherry but any kind will work) <br />
White Vinager<br />
Dill Weed (you could also use basil or such if you don't have dill, I've already done this and it still taste great!)<br />
<br />
Slice cucumber, I like mine pretty thin. Chop up onion. Slice tomatoes. Place all ingredients in bowl and mix. Pour in vinegar to taste, I usually use around 1/4 of a cup but it just depends on the amount of salad you have and how much you like vinegar:) Sprinkle with dill to taste. Store in fridge<br />
<br />
Sometimes I will make mine in advance so the cucumbers have time to soak up the vinegar. However, most of the time I don't remember/ don't plan in advance and it still taste just as good eating it 5 minutes after you make it:) Keep in fridge, the leftovers are great!<br />

</tbody></table>I go this wonderful idea to use cut off target socks from Rachel over on <a href="http://racheldenbow.blogspot.com/">Smile and Wave</a>. Lately I've been layering them with with tights as it's still to cold for just leg warmers, but I'm sort of fearful to send her with this mix on to school. Being a former preschool teacher I know how confusing and difficult it can be when you have to change a childs diaper when there wearing a wonky outfit:)<br />
<br />
So........ I've developed an easy way, with minimal sewing, to turn the cut off socks into a pair of leggings!! I've already created a few pairs....and of course I didn't take pictures as I was so excited of how easy and quick it was!! So I'm trying to back track and take pictures that can still explain the process! Hopefully I'll get the new tutorial posted by Friday!! In the mean time go find some old knee socks or go out and buy a pair for just $2.00 or less at Target..... and start digging out all you little one's old tights!! This will be easy I promise, and you'll have tons of new leggings just in time for spring:)Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04769638146632449177noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774695017269073744.post-37387459815087137672011-02-03T16:04:00.001-05:002011-02-05T16:25:12.594-05:00Go to the Head of the Class<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr_zsx5rM5EdvjpICBX_6GlWdnF_aojDyTqXe340T41ynW76l3HlXi2b-DPVbTPqEbJQ2HSggyVGROeHHJgIoSvgq7WKE_tzL5_TjofLgkALec5vK-p29CBh_m5wngzNT4XlfC65Ku-0w/s1600/IMG_3721.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr_zsx5rM5EdvjpICBX_6GlWdnF_aojDyTqXe340T41ynW76l3HlXi2b-DPVbTPqEbJQ2HSggyVGROeHHJgIoSvgq7WKE_tzL5_TjofLgkALec5vK-p29CBh_m5wngzNT4XlfC65Ku-0w/s400/IMG_3721.JPG" width="320" /> </a> </div>I picked up this lovely little game yesterday, for my sisters birthday!!

I posted sometime ago about how I was on the hunt for the perfect vintage dollhouse! Well....today I found it!! I seriously almost peed my pants! I just couldn't believe my eyes! There in front of me at one of my favorite vintage stores was the most perfect 1960's tin house and it's perfect furniture!! It was also a wonderful price that I just couldn't pass up! They were asking less for it than I had seen people trying to sell them for at yard sales, and the one's at yard sales were never in this great of shape! There is not a stitch of rust to be found and only one dent that I assume could be dinged out. The house is also fully furnished with perfect pink, aqua, and brown furniture! It even came with a little red rocking horse which I think may be one of my favorite pieces:) I so wish I could show you the house in it's entirety but it's unfortunately pretty dreary here today and I really want to be able to take pretty pictures! So I thought a little sneak peak might be fun for today:)<br />

A few, or maybe way more than I would like to admit to, estate sales ago I found some of these lovely never before used vintage vogart patterns! I particularly LOVE the iron on sets! I thought how sweet they would look ironed onto one of little girls tee's or maybe even one of my own. Oh and how great they may look on the edge of a skirt or cardigan. However, I have been sort of afraid to try them, since they are so old! I know I could just test them out on a sample piece of fabric, however I just can't stand to waist one:( Has anyone ever tried one of these? The package states they are washable, but I do believe it means only hand washing, hmmmm not really sure about the whole washing things by hand deal either..LOL:)<br />

We had yet another day of being stuck in the house, only this time it was because of my car and not the snow! So me and little girl have been trying to make the best of it by filling our day full of pretty arts and crafts. She has been totally in love with lions, tigers, and well anything that roars lately! So I thought it would be fun to make a little lion of sorts. I googled "childrens lion coloring page," and found a lovely little lion that I then printed out onto construction paper. I cut up little pieces of a vintage floral pillowcase for the body and little pieces of yarn for the mane. Little girls was very interested at first but then she began to become more interested in the glue and keeping her fingers clean, which is usually how it goes:) So I let her place more glue as I placed the fabric and yarn.<br />

What kinds of activities/ arts and crafts do you plan for little one's on these long winter days? I would love to hear them!! Any suggestions for good indoor activities that use up lots of energy would be greatly appreciated:)Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04769638146632449177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774695017269073744.post-83235824975080549612011-01-28T16:40:00.001-05:002011-01-28T17:19:49.022-05:00Yesterday was....Just Another Day in ParadiseI love reading other bloggers "true" life stories so I thought I would share my day with an almost two year old story with you guys. Hopefully it will make you laugh, smile, and possibly relate to the sometimes misadventures that keep our life exciting. After all if it weren't for misadventures there would definitely be a lack of stories to share and laugh about. So with out further ado, here's yesterdays story from little girls point of view.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCmczr0WvOCsJzDsrNkq2LIi5a-35xhmzKPM_Ok6lJ1MN3rQOmNNxASoIlmyUyP1n-8dSUh9Hjweq7qdRDlBFKK9QLdXhmUdzXOLG4w79FYy4yNtAtijMlivvNbQkO7IGwsp7ACpytfV4/s1600/IMG_3649.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="355" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCmczr0WvOCsJzDsrNkq2LIi5a-35xhmzKPM_Ok6lJ1MN3rQOmNNxASoIlmyUyP1n-8dSUh9Hjweq7qdRDlBFKK9QLdXhmUdzXOLG4w79FYy4yNtAtijMlivvNbQkO7IGwsp7ACpytfV4/s400/IMG_3649.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I woke up yesterday morning, in mommy's bed of course, as mine just doesn't seem as nice as it use to. Of course when I woke up I was surely ready for my milk cup, however mommy did not realize, before handing me my cup, how full my diaper was and I may have had a little accident in mommy and daddy's bed...oooops! Actually it wasn't that small after all as it took up a quarter of the bed, but mommy wasn't angry, after all it was on daddy's side of the bed:)<br />
<br />
Mommy dressed me in my/her favorite vintage red overalls and we set out for breakfast. My nose got a little runny while waiting for breakfast so I decided that since I couldn't find a tissue my hair seemed like the next best place. Sometimes I'll wipe it on mommy's pants or shirt but I really don't think she likes that? In fact one time I heard her ask if this was macaroni and cheese or snot on her pants, I think she was wishing it was the cheese:) Breakfast was fun and I ate almost all my food, the other half may have ended up in my hair with the snot? Mommy cleaned me off, which I hate, and we got ready to go to the library for story time!!<br />
<br />
I love story time, however I also LOVE the stairs and the fun hallway with stickers that leads to them. So mommy had to chase me, but only a couple of times today;) Next we headed off to the mall, I love walking at the mall and looking at the fountains, however stroller time is definitely not my favorite. So decided I would take off my shoes and socks and throw them in protest of having to ride in the stroller:( It was time to leave,and frankly I was DONE with the mall and was ready for a nap!<br />
<br />
After nap it was time to eat lunch, and I went through that meal with out to much food in my hair so mom was happy! Then it was time to meet grammy at the mall for dinner, but first we had to stop at the store for some of my favorite cereal bars. On the way out of the car my coat dropped and fell white fur side down in the sluggy snow...uh oh...mommy may have said a few words that I'm definitely not allowed to say:) While in the store I insisted on carrying the grocery basket even though I was not tall enough and it drug the ground through the entire store. I was pretty frustrated with the basket and I may have had a soon to be two year old fit right there in the middle of the store. Sorry mommy:)<br />
<br />
Our next stop was the mall but not with out another little issue with the car seat, the issue being that I just don't like being in it. It took mommy 10 minutes to get me in my seat as I was pretty set on the fact that I would not be getting in that thing! When we got to the mall mommy realized that her phone battery had died and grammy was supposed to be calling her so that she could meet us there! What did people do before cellphones? Mommy had to use a phone at one of the stores and of course no body answered the phone since it was an unknown number! But everything thing worked out okay:)<br />
<br />
As we waited for grammy in the restaurant I may have had another soon to be two incident when mommy wouldn't let me lick all over the glass food case, this little incident may have lasted longer than the first! Mommy was very happy when they brought me out some food and I decided that food seemed better than licking the glass display case.<br />
<br />
After Dinner we went for a walk around the mall until I decided that I now know longer wanted to hold mommy's hand. So it was time to leave and once again I may have showed my soon to be two year old self as I was very angry about being held and having to go back to the car:( As you remember from last time, I'm really not that happy with having to ride in my car seat lately, so it took mommy and grammy a WHILE to get me in my seat:( Once we got home I was very happy to see daddy and so was mommy! I spent the rest of the night with daddy while mommy read books and drank tea, and said something about trying not to lose her mind:)<br />
<br />
And just like the country sounds states, it was "Just Another Day in Paradise." :) <br />
I love you little girl!!:) <br />

This day had come after 2-3 weeks full of NO school snow and sick days....I'm ready for SPRING!!!Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04769638146632449177noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774695017269073744.post-59165011201451724402011-01-21T15:42:00.000-05:002011-01-21T15:42:53.322-05:00My First Auction and Vintage Doll ClothesOkay so I haven't went to the auction yet so I don't really have any pictures to share just yet, but I'm so excited I just had to share the news. Every week I get little emails reminding me about upcoming auctions and some of the goodies they will be showcasing. Normally I just get to breeze through each email thinking about all the goodies I must be missing out on! As it's hard to get out to a 5:30 auction on a Tuesday night when you have kiddos at home. Ya'll know what I'm talking about right, 5:30 is the beginning of the dinner, bath, and all around night time crunch. But!! The auction was postponed until Saturday due to the snow, so for once I'm sort of glad for the snow:) Oh my there's going to be so many goodies that I will probably most definitely "need," which I believe is my husbands fear....haha!! The email informed me they will have box lots of vintage linens, clothes, and colorful glass ware!! I can't wait to share my finds!! Have you been to an auction..any good bidding advice?:) Or to die for finds?<br />
<br />
On another note here's a few vintage doll clothing patterns I picked up recently at the thrift store. I had a picture of a pair of 70's barbie clothing patterns but I can't seem to find the picture? So I'll have to get back to you guys on that one:) <br />

As one would guess the paint in the kits were completely dried up and unusable:( I did some research online on how to revive old oil paints with out much success, all of the techniques seem to involve some icky chemicals! So I thought the next best thing to do would be to purchase oil or acrylic paints that match up to the original dried up paints. I didn't really want to pour tons of money into this project so I went with acrylic craft paints, I purchased them for 59 cents a bottle at Joanns. The only down side to using these inexpensive paints seems to be that the coverage is not so good and I'm having to re-coat a few areas, but that's okay:)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ6Nih1QeR_8aFwt3AFaaOoY-l-7iAPE3QQoGr5KrI_viAEvj1mX7iKjO2HFWas_m1xZKuGaTOjCKLESp6KhB5IHTfY5ZGKKchtTTTIUhwo-C-_7eodLQBx2HXTHJAChZnIrEFooegCkE/s1600/IMG_3514.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ6Nih1QeR_8aFwt3AFaaOoY-l-7iAPE3QQoGr5KrI_viAEvj1mX7iKjO2HFWas_m1xZKuGaTOjCKLESp6KhB5IHTfY5ZGKKchtTTTIUhwo-C-_7eodLQBx2HXTHJAChZnIrEFooegCkE/s400/IMG_3514.JPG" width="400" /></a></div> I decided that when purchasing my new paints I wouldn't have to match the colors up exactly and infact I used a fun pink color instead of the orange just to give my painting a fun and different look! I just made sure that the colors I choose looked good together and matched up well with the areas they were intended for and I was set!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPYgZctMew9J8Q5zz4HIfVPU6-odZ-eKCDuSGy1hI_FZmteRbqwLboGq_l8XkwdI-hkGdEvNbWrFYdWxqOalND_CTynfCt3SwPTwarD5dKjBfwF5kddIZuQk-SSXDc6szHCcPcxaDdJ7U/s1600/IMG_3515.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPYgZctMew9J8Q5zz4HIfVPU6-odZ-eKCDuSGy1hI_FZmteRbqwLboGq_l8XkwdI-hkGdEvNbWrFYdWxqOalND_CTynfCt3SwPTwarD5dKjBfwF5kddIZuQk-SSXDc6szHCcPcxaDdJ7U/s400/IMG_3515.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Before I started to paint my canvases I decided that I should scan them so that I could use the "template" over and over again if I wanted. I figured I could print it out on watercolor paper and do a water color paint by number, or use colored pencils which would also be fun! The options are endless! So when searching for paint by numbers, consider purchasing and reviving an old kit! You'll have endless options and save a few bucks:) I've included a few kits that are for sale in my collections post below:)<br />

I've currently got a fun little vintage paint by numbers project in the works!! I wish I had pictures to share with you guys, but I'll be sure to put that on my list of things to complete this weekend:) In the mean time I thought it would be fun to feature a few fabulous vintage paint by numbers collection from other folks. I've also included a few that are for sale just in case your on the hunt for one of your own. The for sale list also features a few vintage kits as this is what my current project involves and they are totally fun to have around! Next week I'll be sharing a few ways to use these kits even when the kits paint is all dried up:)<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy this weeks lovely collection!!<br />

During the Holidays me and little girl spent a lot of time crafting!! Here's a couple of necklaces she created with some of my vintage plastic beads. I let her pick out the beads and the order she wanted them in and I strung them for her. I think we have must have a future DIY craft star on our hands:)<br />

I just knew I had to share some of these pics with my vintage loving blog readers!!:) I'm also glad to be able to share some vintage boy items with you guys, as I know there's a lot of girl vintage around these parts:)<br />

Thanks to Tish for sharing her vintage loving son with us!!:)Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04769638146632449177noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774695017269073744.post-35291587446316573272011-01-05T15:48:00.001-05:002011-01-05T15:50:21.706-05:00Collections: Vintage Clock RadiosI'm starting a new little weekly feature here on Blue Bird Lucy's called "collections." Each week I'll feature cute and vintage "collectible" items, and I'll be sorta keeping the word collectible open:) First I'll feature found pictures of the lovely collectible's and I'll follow up the post with a couple of places to purchase said collectible!! I'm hoping that during yard sale season I'll be able to feature a couple of my found items, and some of your all's as well:) I love the vintage hunt...this should be fun:) Also on a funny side note I'm ashamed to admit that I now only classify my seasons into two categories, yard sale season and none yard sale season...lol:)<br />

These little wood dolls are finished and ready to go for Christmas!! I'm thinking they will make great stocking suffers for little girl:) I really enjoyed making these, so much so that they will probably be making an appearance at my spring shows and maybe a few appearances in the <a href="http://www.bluebirdlucys.etsy.com/">shop</a>:)<br />
<br />
P.S most vintage holiday clothing and few winter items are 20%-30% off!! So be sure to stop by the<a href="http://bluebirdlucys.etsy.com/"> shop</a> and check it out!! <br />

I soooo wish I would have ordered some of these pretties sooner!!!.....Drats..I'm such a last minute shopper, but I some how manage to get it all done? How about you guys? Do you shop last minute or are you already finished? I do tell myself every that I need to start earlier to save the headaches....but that's what keeps life exciting don't ya think:) Seriously speaking I should start my Christmas shopping during the summer so I can scoop up and use some of those fab yard sale finds!Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04769638146632449177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774695017269073744.post-15684237001180420872010-12-13T16:19:00.000-05:002010-12-13T16:19:03.870-05:00Vintage Storybook Puzzle Blocks<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN1qMup8pupGbaikrRVmz4n_h58SJFS_WwVtY8EgqzH-GE6y8AHBmXiB4qWACQsuEUgcYD1BLs6WGPFkT7dcA5z-6Rzd1I0oiqDcw4bJ4O1KqVftPl0dW6tzfcQEhYMDIMGPmcMpADTVw/s1600/IMG_3305.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN1qMup8pupGbaikrRVmz4n_h58SJFS_WwVtY8EgqzH-GE6y8AHBmXiB4qWACQsuEUgcYD1BLs6WGPFkT7dcA5z-6Rzd1I0oiqDcw4bJ4O1KqVftPl0dW6tzfcQEhYMDIMGPmcMpADTVw/s400/IMG_3305.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
As you know, I'm completely obsessed with wood toy's this Holiday season! So...I created a little picture puzzle block set for little girl. I used a vintage Dick and Jane storybook that I had found at a yard sale over the summer. I will have to say that this little puzzle is more difficult than one would think! Especially if you don't know what each of the pictures is supposed to look like! I thought about putting little color coordinating dots on each block? Any who she probably won't be piecing the blocks together as a complete puzzle just yet but there still fun to play with and in a year or so she can maybe begin piecing together the little puzzles:)<br />

Sorry for the lack of words today, I've been spending the past couple of days gathering Christmas gifts and working on items for an upcoming show....of which I'm super excited to say that some of my dolls where featured in a local newspaper today as an advertisement for the show! Hope you all are enjoying your Holidays!!:)<br />

So I want to ask you guys if you have any suggestions for a place to get a variety set of natural wood blocks? I would make them myself but I scared to use the wood at hardwood stores...or is okay to use the plain wood there? Hmmm...have any of you all used regular hardware store wood to make toys? Thanks in advance for all your help!!:)<br />
<br />
P.S. What kind of special Christmas gifts are you all working on? Have you found any good tutorials to share?:) I read over on Elsie's blog "<a href="http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/">A Beautiful Mess</a>" that she will having 12 days of DIY, yay sounds like fun!!<br />
<br />
P.S.S Here are a few projects little girl has been working on:) We used a glue stick to rub glue over the entire gingerbread man and then sprinkled him with cinnamon, he smells so yummy!!<br />
