Purly Victorious: this is: trista of sugardale
http://purlyvictorious.blogspot.com/2008/05/this-is-trista-of-sugardale.html
Thursday, May 22, 2008. This is: trista of sugardale. Long ago, in a galaxy far away, I worked as a freelance entertainment writer. It's something I've wanted to get back to on my own terms, interviewing people and checking out places I personally find interesting. There's no better time than the present (actually, there's. My first interview, which I am thrilled to present, is with Trista Roland, of Sugardale. By Erin of A Dress A Day, and so agreed upon by me. Have you done formal training? When I move...

Purly Victorious: another oldie but goody
http://purlyvictorious.blogspot.com/2008/01/another-oldie-but-goodie.html
Wednesday, January 16, 2008. Another oldie but goody. Something overcame me the minute I started sewing on Rosie, my Singer Featherweight. I knew, the second the needle went down and punched that first hole, that my life would never be the same. And for old machines, let me tell you, Singers can require the hocking of things. I decided that the next model I would cop would be the 401. How can I possibly resist a machine that goes by the name Slant-O-Matic? I mean, anything O-Matic is a must have. (I ...

Purly Victorious: the girl i love
http://purlyvictorious.blogspot.com/2010/04/girl-i-love.html
Friday, April 02, 2010. The girl i love. I finished a new baby sweater and had a quick photo shoot on the lawn just now. I'll be back to yap about the sweater, but I want to share this picture of mischievous Mira, who commandeered my. And pounced on my props. It's hard to get good pictures of her, because of her color, and because she's maybe a little . hyper. She'll be two this summer. Life has grown infinitely more interesting and full since she's been around. 10:36 AM, April 02, 2010. Mira is a goddess.

Purly Victorious: another oldie but goody (part III)
http://purlyvictorious.blogspot.com/2008/02/another-oldie-but-goody-part-iii.html
Wednesday, February 20, 2008. Another oldie but goody (part III). Yes I won't claim that this post will prove to be worth the time lag since part I. Or even since its most recent delay, from Monday to today, but I can say I've picked up more knowledge about vintage machines, which I wouldn't have had to share had it not taken me this long! For every cloud, a silver lining (or, a glittery excuse). The real honest-to-goodness reason I wound up with Blanche. Is that I have no self-restraint. NO, c'mon!

Purly Victorious: when the itch for wycinanki demands to be scratched
http://purlyvictorious.blogspot.com/2008/04/when-itch-for-wycinanki-demands-to-be.html
Tuesday, April 29, 2008. When the itch for wycinanki demands to be scratched. This is how I get: Obsessed. Unable to stop pursuing something, even if it sucks the very life outta me. Sometime last year - spring? They were orphans from a family! These were volumes 3 and 4 - "Boxes to Card Tricks" and "Carryalls to Confections" respectively - and it became my mission like yesterday to find the rest and own them. To a family of four. Google led me to the holy grail, The Family Creative Workshop. I have been...

Purly Victorious: old school redux: the family creative workshop
http://purlyvictorious.blogspot.com/2008/05/old-school-redux-family-creative.html
Thursday, May 08, 2008. Old school redux: the family creative workshop. Well, pretty in that crunchy armpit hair kinda way, but she ain't no Leona Lewis, so forget about Blue. We can't use it.). Today, The Family Creative Workshop. Would stand about as good a chance of being published as Sly and the Family Stone would of getting a record deal. And it's not just that. It was published, but how. Volume 20: Tea to Toys. Volume 15: Rosemaling to Scrimshaw. There are other great ones, but have a look inside&#...

Purly Victorious: another oldie but goody (part II)
http://purlyvictorious.blogspot.com/2008/01/another-oldie-but-goody-part-ii.html
Friday, January 18, 2008. Another oldie but goody (part II). I love an old sewing machine. Duh, right? With that fact once and for all established (probably I'll get busted saying it again), let me address some of the issues I've encountered or observed surrounding procuring and owning a vintage machine. That said, I use vintage just as liberally as everybody else (how to avoid it? People are loyal to particular brands. If you check out the comments from part I. Of this post, you'll see that Ellen's.

Purly Victorious: November 2010
http://purlyvictorious.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Facebook is a killer. A killer of blogging. I'm on there talking to friends old and new so much that I've pretty much abandoned old Purly V. I was thinking of shutting it down, but decided there's no harm in leaving it up, and then I made a pact with my buddy Lilia. Here are a few more shots from The Midnight Ride of Schmin and Schmin.

Purly Victorious: it all started with number 19
http://purlyvictorious.blogspot.com/2010/05/it-all-started-with-number-19.html
Tuesday, May 11, 2010. It all started with number 19. That's me blowing the dust off this blog. I'm about to celebrate my second birthday in this fair city. One of my knitting friends has the same birthday (and the same middle name) as I do, May 16, and so there will be cake and merriment at the shop. People give you things that are surprising and wonderful and you grow to treasure them, and it's also good to surprise yourself. It's the main occasion when I'll see something and not question whether I...
