Don't You Want To Know How To Crochet Corn?!!

     Yes...Yes it is another vintage crochet book! But this time it's what I call a 'doo-dad' book. In other words, just odds and ends things that you didn't know you could crochet...or didn't know that you wanted to crochet, like...

      ...a toilet seat cover! And don't laugh! I have my own pattern for the cutest toilet seat cover you ever seen...One day someone is going to call me on the phone and say: "Do you make toilet seat covers?" And I'm going to proudly say: "Why yes...Yes I do! Why?!" 
     And they're gonna say: "Because Bill Gates and Donald Trump have a partner-project going for their computer and Hotel business where they want something with a completely homemade/handmade touch, and they're willing to pay the person who makes it 60 Kabillion dollars!!!" ^_^
     So, go ahead....Laugh it up!! But when I'm sitting in the Trump Tower, sipping on green tea in crystal Champagne cups, you'll be sorry!!! LOL
     *Back to reality!!!!*...How about some crochet seat covers!

         Who couldn't use these?! We probably all have a chair in our house somewhere that could use a little covering up!

       I love that it's not just a flat cover, but it actually has like a 'lip' on it, so it'll stay put! And what a cute little flower design too! I'm sure that's probably embroidered though. A LOT OF WORK that Mama doesn't want to do right now!! :-))
     But how about crocheting an ear of corn?! Don't you wanna know how to crochet corn?! {Hence...the header title! ^_^ I'm so witty I just crack my own self up!!!}

        Of course, the next question would be: Where would you put it after you got through crocheting it!!! LOL
       Well, do you have a baby?!...How about a crocheted baby diaper cover?!

      Or is it a holder for a hot pan or a handbag?! LOL...Nah! They're just on the same page...... :-)) ...which makes you wonder about the person who did the page layout! ^_^ They probably didn't even notice though, that they put all of these things together!...They probably were holding their baby, trying to get a wipey out of their handbag, and eating a piece of corn-on-the-cob!! LOL
      On an uncomplicated note, isn't this a cute place mat?!

        That would be cute as a nice dining room center piece!

        And I can see where this could get a bit involved, but wouldn't this children's floor mat look cute in a child's room or in a nice play spot?! It has letters, the ABCs,  all over it, and a dog and cat too! :-)
     So you see, not everything vintage is all about hats, handbags and mittens! :-) Although I 'do' still have a lot of the old vintage patterns of them too! I'll share them too...eventually. I think I'll give you a break for now though. :-)) ...*Do I hear applause?! LOL*
     An interesting thing I found out when I was researching the worth of these old books, is that there are other Etsians with some of the same books I have...for sale!!
    Clutterina has the Quick Crochet book...

      GransTreasures 'HAD' the Jack Frost book! But apparently somebody saw the value of it and scooped it up!! They had it for a really low price compared to what I saw it worth, so....good deal! The good news is that this shop still has tons of crochet books available.  For anybody interested, you can look HERE!
      The shop sandmarg has the book on Laces & Edgings Crochet & Tatting.

       Lots of fun patterns in there! Unfortunately no one does tatting anymore. But if you wanna learn, this is the book for you!
       And 716Vintage has this book too!   

       And so do I in my collection here at the house!
     I could be here all day!...Really....I could!! :-)) But I'm done now!...Except to tell you that the big news of what was going on yesterday was that we got one day of our Summer Convention in. Every year Jehovah's Witnesses have a 3 or 4 day Summer convention. This year it's only 3. We look so forward to them every year!
    This year, because of my health, doing 3 days in a row just wouldn't work with our schedule. So we got the Friday program yesterday, and we'll catch Saturday's program next weekend, or the weekend after. The Sunday program we'll catch when our congregation officially is suppose to go. Thankfully it's the same info at consecutive weekend conventions for several weeks. {Although some of the conventions are in other languages besides English...so we have to check schedules before we attend.}
    This year there are dramas {some being -dress-up' dramas} on all 3 days! So if you're in the Amherst Massachusetts area for the weekend on any of the upcoming weekends between now and August 12th go on over to the Mullins Center and find a seat and enjoy! There's no charge, no collections, and no obligation. :-)
      Okay...service announcement over!....:-] On to my schedule for today, which included some breakfast and some Mr. Wug and Mrs. Wug breakfast conversation... *Teehee*...Yep! Another one of 'THOSE' conversations!!! If I can get it uploaded to Youtube today or tomorrow I'll share it with you. Don't get excited.....it was just a conversation about some mosquitoes and frogs!! LOL
   

Okay....Moving right along!!! LOL Have a good rest of the weekend everybody!!

 Have a good weekend!

Spend some time with your kids,
do the errands you been meaning to do,
do a little grocery shopping,
maybe make a chicken stew.

Organize your messy space,
clean the closets, throw things out,
watch a little mindless T.V.,
and replace the bathroom grout.

Take a walk around the park,
play some board games with your friends,
maybe even cut your hair
(but just a little bit, off the ends).

Take a trip to Grandma's house,
do some gardening in the yard,
give new projects a little finish,
but nothing that might be too hard.

It's the weekend, after all;
It's your week's tail, at a wag;
No need for scurry, hurry, rushing.
No! You want this time to lag!
