, ,

Things that make me happy today:1. We live on this road.2. I drove down the above road to get to M's last cross country meet of the season where he made his season goal of finishing the 5 K race in under 20 minutes. (19:56)3. P is up and feeling better after a day of and naps and fever on the couch.4. P. talking with a woman in a reproduction 1860's dress last Sunday. Why does hers STAY out?Each year we work at "Pioneer Days" at Waterloo Farm Museum I demonstrate tatting and how to make handkerchief dolls. B works the horse drawn wagon ride area, and for the last three years M has played music there with a few friends. It looks like P will be getting a special dress for next year's event. I will try to make one with a deep hem to let out as she grows.5. P saying in her sleep, "Where is my embroidery?" (she calls these her embroidery)6. We are having another beautiful sunny fall day today!

I’m finally getting around to putting these stars together. I made the stars a few years ago and have been on the hunt for the perfect setting fabrics. These @carolynfriedlander prints are the perfect match for the 1800s reproduction prints in
