Please help me date a pattern

[finding-jay.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping someone here could date a pattern for me. I recently purchased a whole stack of patterns from 1959 to 1991, and while most of them are dated, this one isn't.

( Picture of the pattern in question )

It's a Butterick pattern, #3157; female lingerie (a nightie) and bloomers. It's Australian, given the address on the back, and it's pre-1966 as it's priced in pounds and shillings.

This is a little obscure, and most Google searches direct me to the wrong patterns, but perhaps someone here may be able to guess an approximate date?

If there's a more appropriate community for this, please direct me.

Swarovski mosaic square flatbacks

Hiya darlings.. So I have turbo sadface going on over here.
As you can see the bottom swarovski crystal on the right side on my glasses fell off (I don't have it) so I have two questions for you bbdolls.
First,  do you have any idea where I could find square swarovski flatbacks??
My best bet was Michael's Craft store but they didn't have any.
And all local/online stores you can think of would be fantastic!

Also, what type of glue would you suggest using to glue 'er back on?? Think E6000 would do the trick? 
Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
Thank you and have a craftacular day!!

Perler bead fun!

I made a set of these earlier to go towards a charity auction to benefit those affected by the recent disasters in Japan. They were so fun and easy to make that I think I'll be making a few more! :)



Made with perler beads, painted pots, model magic (to "fill" the pots), and covered with craft foam that's been textured to look like dirt.

Nothing

Was shooting a fixed necklace when this guy peeked over the top of my light box:



I asked if he'd come down for some more shots...

The white trim around his shell is thanks to pickleboot. :) Lovely silk stuff.
