Tuesday Time to Tackle: Pioneer Trek Skirt


As I mentioned on Sunday, youngest daughter will soon be pushing a handcart in a pioneer re-enactment.  Of course, if you are going on a pioneer trek, you need to dress the part.  Corner House Blog has clear directions for a quick skirt, easily made in any size.

I still need to finish bloomers (easily made from pajama bottoms) and another skirt, but it feels good to have one skirt done.
Thanks for the amazing resource of the internet.

She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Lovely Autumn

I've mentioned before, but it bears repeating, that I love fall.  This week I noticed the following:
