I believe Robin told me that these were from an Aunt Martha's Iron-On Transfer set. Aren't they pretty! Thank you so much Robin!

A Happy Movie
I've been a bit under the weather the past few days. Just some little late Summer bug messing with my sinues. My husband had it last week. Anyway, after working on my computer most of the day yesterday, I just didn't feel up to stitching last night. So I just relaxed on the sofa and watched my Chicago Cubbies win!
Since I don't have an update for you on my current CQ block, I thought I would share with you one of my all time ever favorite movies! Yes, I love all sorts of vintage things including old movies!
This movie is called Swing Time and it stars Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Yes, it's one of their dance movies and in my opinion, their best! It was released in theaters in 1936 and was finally released on DVD just last week.
Read more about Swing Time, at Reel Classics.
This is a very cheerful, uplifting movie. Cute and funny with great music and beautiful dancing. There's nothing like a happy movie and some popcorn to brighten one's mood!

Nightmare And Lucy
I went through my CD of our photos and thought I had a better one of my Nightmare but so far, this was the best I could come up with. Nightmare isn't one to sit still for too long. He's a very busy cat!
Nightmare has been with me since he was 3 weeks old. He along with his brothers and sisters were found on a construction site not far from here. They were only about a week old. The workers took the kittens to my vets office and they tried to catch the mother kitty too but she wouldn't cooperate. Anyway, we adopted Nightmare. He'll be 10 years old the end of October.
Scott refers to Nightmare as "pure concentrated evil". He's definately the bully of the group.
My cross stitch followers already know the story of how Nightmare got his name. Shortly after we adopted him, Scott was trying to put lights on our Christmas tree and this little one kept climbing it. After pulling him out several times, Scott finally said to him, "you are such a little nightmare!" We decided that name was perfect and as time went on, we've learned that we made the right choice!
Nightmare is always into something. As I said, he's a very busy cat. He's had a heart problem since he was a year old and has been on medication ever since. You'd never know it. He's trouble with a capital "T"! But he's very smart and very beautiful he very much keeps us on our toes!

Laren's Blackwork Shirt
For those of you who love blackwork, be sure to visit Laren's The Needle's Excellency blog to see an update on her blackwork shirt. You'll have to scroll down just a bit. It's absolutely breathtaking! I can't wait to see what this looks like sewn together.
A Ray Of Sunshine
It's difficult not to get caught up in the sadness of the aftermath of Katrina. The uncertainty is everywhere. Those who have lost everything aren't sure where or how to start rebuilding their lives and those of us not directly affected by it, feel helpless.
Through my friend Gina in the wonderful land of OZ, I found the most beautiful weblog. Rose Cottage is a blog by Laurie who loves vintage linens and beautiful china and roses. Laurie and her family live about 5 minutes from Biloxi, Mississippi. They lost just about everything to the hurricane. Laurie's family is fine and their computer survived so Laurie has been able to keep her readers updated on how she and her family are doing.
A ray of sunshine came to Laurie and her family from under the wheelwell of her car the other day. Nala is a little kitty that somehow managed to survive the hurricane. Please visit Laurie's beautiful Rose Cottage blog if you'd like to see Laurie's new little kitty, a bright light amidst the darkness.
