It's Friday - and time to be random again
1. I learned to ride a bike when I was in 4th grade - we never lived in a place where we had an area to ride a bike, nor did we have a bike. It was a big orange bike and I had to climb up on a gigantic tree stump (big around - not gigantically tall) to jump on the seat and push off to get started. I loved that big orange bike.
3. I think that the best part of sewing is cutting out the patterns - I'll cut them out - you sew them up.

4. I love collections - I collect dolls, bears, milk glass chickens, sets of dishes, silverware. tea sets. . . .

How interesting...thanks for sharing!
Oh, love your hand painted dishes! I learned some fun things about you and your dolly clothes and little umbrella girl are very sweet. I love to make lists, too :) xx
I don't use umbrellas either! That dress is so pretty as is your applique block.
Oh you can cut and I will sew:)
I rode my first bike exactly the way you did we could never afford one so I climbed a tree stump and apparently stole the neighbour kids bike. It was very huge:) B
If I had had a daughter, I know I would have spent hours making doll clothes like my mom did.... thanks so much for sharing at R5F this week. xo
Dishes are fun to collect. Your's are beautiful. I love the last picture, is it a quilt block or wall hanging? I am a list maker too.

Fascinating! And here I was beginning to think I knew lots about you! I remember learning to ride a bike - it was a neighbor's because we couldn't afford one, and I learned by starting at the top of a small slope on our yard that ran down across the lane into the neighbor's yard! I was almost as scared that first few times as I am today of going on a roller coaster!
A fun Random 5! I love the doll clothes. My mother made me such pretty Barbie clothes when I was little. Alas, even though I have a sewing machine, I am not much of a seamstress. So you can cut out the pattern, but you'd have to sew it up for me too! :-)
I loved this Jo, the words and the images.
And those pansies... I don't know that I have seen ones with faces that color. They are GORGEOUS.
Thanks, my friend.

Boy that bike brought back some nice memories...thanks for sharing.
i enjoy umbrellas because they make me feel like the movie "singing in the rain" - i wish to dance & sing. too fun!! ( :
I had a visitor from Chicago and he was so amazed at seeing so many people in Seattle without an umbrella. I bet you wouldn't walk outside barefoot in the winter here. I don't even go barefoot in the house in the winter, gotta have socks on to keep my toes warm LOL.

What a lovely 5 - so fun!
Living in Michigan with the amount of snow we generally get, walking barefoot in the winter is not an option for me. But I rarely wear shoes - if I can at all get away with it.
Beautiful doll and outfit! And i enjoy makings lists too and checking items off as i finish. I get much more done that way! :) Have a good weekend.
Great shots! I especially love the pansies. I don't like umbrellas but you wouldn't find me without a jacket or barefoot most any time of the year. Maybe it's my thin California-born blood.
Hey, I love this post! Oh the things I miss when I don't check in often enough. :) Love finding out more things about you.
That certainly gave us a glimpse at who you are... Loved all your random things for this week.
That sweet dress is adorable on her. I've sewed and sewed....but the pjs I made didn't fit my doll! So I put them on another doll! heehee! Holiday hugs!
