My mom made the pink angel (below) in the 1970's. I remember that she volunteered to make a bunch of them for some charity thing, but she kept putting off actually doing it. Each time she would talk about them, her outlook would get worse. First it was; "I must get going on those sweet pink angels." Then it turned into; "I have to start sewing those things." Finally it was; "I need help making the god damn angels!" Now, every year when my kids pull this one out of the box, they squeal with delight; "Look! It's Nana's g.d. angel!" My friend Joan's mom made her one too at around the same time. I wonder what they call her at their house.

I love your pink angel and the story! I actually have a few of those g.d. stories about myself. I hate procrastinating so much that I end up just hating the task.
Is it snowing there too? I've been posting way too many snow pics on my blog, but I can't stop myself.

What a great collection of vintage ornaments! And I LOVE the pink angel story.
