Summer Cleaning

Everyone in the GrimmWitch clan is getting ready for L. Mom has been cleaning out the attic and found some pretty interesting stuff. She has a lot of pics on her blog along with a new belly pic of me.

First pic...some Ewoks ca 1983.
These poor guys were in good condition but smell so bad from a poor storage environment in the attic. I'm going to try to clean them up.

Poor Rainbow Brite! She just looked terrible and smelled not so fresh:( We chucked her:..(
I used to have a big one too, Mom just found her in great condition.


These wall hangings are I believe faux retro, but a bit too not me, and I assume, not L.


I loved these guys when I was young. I know the albums are around somewhere.



Knitwise, I frogged the Kanoko pants as I said last post. I started again in Bobcat by Wool in the Woods. This is a CTH colorway, wild cherry. This is the same yarn Id been using for my mother in law's shawl, also mentioned in my last post.


Here is the pretty much finished Baby Surprise in chunky Zauberball. I need help with button selection.

Finding old toys are so fun, I still have my cabbage patch doll (which is named Penny Anne) Before throwing stuff away even though stinky (febreze it) they could be collectors items and worth money!
Your baby surprise jacket is adorable love the colors as well!.
