Finally made it out to some garage sales this weekend. First time all summer! Crazy. Just think of all the treasures we’ve missed out on.

A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
Soooo fun!
Memories, sweet memories. They don’t make them simple like that anymore. They all light up, or talk or something else annoying.
Oh, I used to have one of these and it was so fun! I’m with bunnybear– not everything needs batteries!
I have never seen anything like that before, but it looks like the best toy ever! I am so jealous!
I always wanted one of those.
ah, the sit and spin.
boxcar (do you still call him that) you are bringing back some super sweet memories
Maybe so, but snagging a sit and spin, makes up for all the potentially lost treasures! Such fun!
We’ve been going to garage sales and my son (who is seven) has it in his head that he NEEDS a Sit n’ Spin. We ended up finding one, but it was too small and he was begging me to ask the owners if maybe they had a bigger one they would be willing to sell as well, haha.
i used to have one of those and i wore a hole into the wood floor from sitting and spinning so much. good times.
Oh Oh !!!
we had one of these. My children loved it. Hours of dizzy fun 🙂
oh that’s funny! I didn’t think oscar knew what we were buying but when we got home he went to town straight away. he said they had them at preschool. I wonder if they still make them.
Love that toy!
agreed! this was one of my favorite toys when I was a kid. funny to remember when you could spin and spin – for fun! – and not get all dizzy and sick
yep, boxcar. although it’s being overwritten with gagar which is what phoebe calls him
Goodness! My mister and I were just talking about having those when we were kids this past weekend! That’s a hoot!
ahhhhhhh….the sit ‘n spin. or sit ‘n vomit, as a friend of mine called it. 🙂
One of the coolest toys of all time! Right up there with Lite Brite (is that how it was spelled?). I also want one of those bouncy balls with the handle on it – does anyone remember the name of that?
oh gosh that’s totally how i feel when i’m missing out on sales … because once you go & you see all your finds, you can’t imagine NOT GOING. actually the past 3 weeks i’ve [don’t tell anyone] started driving around on the ritzy part of town on their trash day. this monday … i was too late. i was BUMMED wondering about ALL I MISSED. 🙂 shhh…
Oh! We just got one of those at a garage sale. My children ADORE it! I can’t figure out what happens that makes spinning around and around seem really icky to me as an adult LOL.
Have you tried it yet?!
Great toy! One of my kids could never pronounce it right and always called it a “Spit and Sin”! Love that!

If I focus on that feeling of wondering what treasures I’ve missed out on every weekend I skip yard sales, it will consume me!
I always have to remind my boys that it’s called a “sit and spin” not STAND and spin!
