Little Grey Bungalow: September 2026

Little Grey Bungalow

Tuesday, September 1, 2026

From my collection of old Workbasket magazines, the December, 1952 issue offering a "Wild Rose" doily edging. Left-click to enlarge.

Shay: the rural Midwest, United States; Middle-aged Middle-westerner, retired Marine and Detroiter who somehow wound up in a farm village of 1100 people. I am a former Red Cross volunteer/adrenalin junkie, and retired from my job as a bioterrorism/public health planner. My hobbies are military history and needlework. I share the bungalow with the Spousal Unit, Little Man (our GSD) and Blitzen (who thinks he's a German shepherd), and cats Sheba and Minnie. You will find here free patterns from my collection of pre-1955 needlework magazines (sewing, knitting, tatting, crochet, embroidery, etc) as well as old recipes, vintage household hints, poetry, occasional rants, LOLCats, and any pieces of ephemera that tickle my fancy.
