I watched "Gift Horse" today and I thought I would ask everyone what you're favorite "Iola Lucille Boyland Original" is. Mine is either the VCR cozy, the invalid turner, or the tooth brush fairy thing, or Ellen's IV cozy. :lol:

I like the IV cozy and the toy soldier Vacuum cleaner cozy!

:lol:

I loved the Invalid Flipper! :rofl:

Point of Order: It's actually Boylen (this was given evidence in another thread). :p

As for the question, that's a great one...I'm really gonna have to think this one over!

Hmm...this is a toughie...

It's a 6-way tie

1. Pill-case for her mother...Mama: Sorta like a Whitman's Sampler for drugs!
2. VCR Cozy
3. Invalid Turner
4. Tooth-fairy thing
5. IV cozy
6. Magazine choirboys

There was also one Vint, Naomi and Bubba came up with called the "Lock Family" or something, where they made these little people out of old padlocks...LMAO!!!

I forgot about the choirboys!:lol:

It was called the Pet Lock:D

There was also;
- the birdcage made out of hangers:)
-Bubba's drumstick cozy's
-The Hulk Hogan chair cushions
-the happy rainbow napkin holder
- the kitchen appliance cozy's

Then there were the things mentioned but never seen;

The Sunflower bath mat
Sunflower Johnny Bonnet


Lets try to list them all! I'm sure there are others.

Oh yeah, Pet Lock! That was hysterical...:lol:

Some of the things she made were just so idiotic though...I mean, a cozy for a toaster and VCR?? Who in there right mind?? Both of those things would most likely break if you even attempted to keep a cozy on them! :lol:

Also, remember when she was staying at the Harper house and arranged all the condiments in alphabetical order?? :lol:

I just remembered another one! The watermelon pot holders that Cousin Lydia wanted to market.:D

OMG yes, and Mama hated the watermelon potholders! :rofl:

Saw another one...mess-kit cozies for when Bubba was to have joined the army...even had BUBBA embroidered on them! :lol:

I have thought of 2 more!:lol:

The notebook cover that she made for Mama when she went to night school and she and Mama were making those braided Octopus things in the episode about Vint and Naomi's separation.

Boy, we are on a roll! :woohoo:

Yay! I have thought of another! The lint pictures that she made for Naomi's baby.:lol:


Also lets not forget her infamous feltboard that showed up in a couple of episodes!:lol:

I want to be just like Iola when I grow up!;)

Break? Are your VCR and toaster made out of origami rice paper? :lol:

Four words: Civil War Kitchen Cozies. Come on, people - these were awesome, even when Sherman had burnt buns!

Let's not forget those lavender slipcovers that briefly adorned Mama's showplace (Dependance Day). I believe there were curtains forthcoming as well. :eek:

Yeah, I too loved the "CWKC"s, lol. :crazy:

Oo, another handicraft!:

The corn cob holders that looked like li'l corn cobs!

Mama: "Ooohh, yes...what in the world they were doin' at the bottom o' that broom closet, I'll never know. :rolleyes: "

And then later Iola displays 'em in Mama's kitchen "so you can enjoy 'em all year 'round, not just in the corn season. :) "

Lol! :D

And we've mentioned "Gift Horse", but nobody's actually mentioned the "festive Kleenex Kaddy"! lol :p

I liked the vcr cozyer too!

I just watched the episode where Mama takes an apple cobbler to night school for Mr. Hanson. She was using watermelon potholders when she brought the cobbler into the classroom! :lol:

Don't know if this has been mentioned but remember the toilet seat protectors that she made for "Harper House"?

Dammit, Marlene...are we on the same train of thought, or something? I just watched this last night too. And yep, I remember them...Iola made 75 of them. :eek: :crazy:

I don't think this is ESP or anything! I have been watching my tapes also. In order. I just LOVE them!:lol:

Me too. I'm soooooo happy I have all 130 episodes now! :biglove:

I have all of them too. As many times that I have watched them they still make me laugh out loud!:lol: My husband has even been watching them with me. He gets a big kick out of the relationship between Mama and Vint. He also is in love with Naomi! But that's fine with me! I love her too!(but in an entirely different way!);)
We watched the episode today where Mama is auditioning for singing "Raytown Oh Raytown". When the piano tuner,Janie, starts singing it so beautifully, it is hysterical the look on Mama's face!:lol: OMG!

I saw the watermelons too!! I thought Mama hated them when Iola made them...interesting. I watch Mama's Family almost everyday. The episodes are just so priceless!! They never get old with me!! Some of Iola's best handicrafts to me were the glucose cozy and her mother's pill box.

:rofl: I watched that episode, I think, two nights ago. :D It sounds like you're watching the 1987-88 season episodes right now, so am I. :lol: I watched the one today where Mama embarrasses Vint with Binky the lunchpail. That was soooo cute and funny. :lol:

Actually, you both seem to be watching on schedule with the actual TBS airings. I am watching them as they come on and I saw Binky Bunny last week and also "Raytown, O Raytown" How cool is that that you all are on schedule and didn't even know it! Today's shows are the Russian Exchange women and Bubba and Mama's graduation. :wave:
