My Summer in West Virginia

   West Virgina is very pretty, it is very hilly and there aren't any corn or bean fields, just forest and meadow.
    It was hard getting used to no electricity. We had to save water until the next time it rained. I had to get used to battery powered MP3 player, phone and DVD player.
  But it was lots of fun. And since where Memaw lived there is a back road that only four wheelers drive on, she let me drive the Subaru three miles three different times.
    I also learned how to sew on the treadle sewing machine (the very same one that mama learned to sew on) and made two pillow cases.
     I learned how to play the guitar better, and had a lesson on how to play the fiddle.
    I spent a month at Memaw's. I learned a lot of new things, but I am glad to be home.

Harvest Party Costume (yes...ikikik...im super late)

Image
So lately I have been finding myself obsessed with anything WWII and 1940s...so naturally I was overly excited about dressing up for our annual Harvest Party (we don't do Halloween). After many ideas that came and went, I finally settled on "WWII agent", and ideas and grand plans started whirling around my head immediately, Goodwill here I come.      I started by combing every Goodwill store for suits that would match this particular time period. I came up with a beautifully colored pant suit, which fit me well enough.   Of course I should also mention that I don't wear pants...ugh...first road block.  The transforming of the slacks into a pencil skirt was perfect, and after many adjustings and slips to cover up unseemly lines and lumps, we did it!! The shoes...ah...the shoes...this is a very long story, but to shorten it I will just say that I had been looking for them for months, I wanted a pair that were nice, American made, non 3 inch...

things for young ladies to do on a cold winter day

this is a close up picture of my knitting. In Grandmas Attic. I enjoyed reading Beverly Cleary to.  I also enjoyed this series of books, mama read these aloud to us when we where little, I loved them a lot, these books are full of adventure that girls of all ages will love. this is a series of books every girl or boy should read. this is what I have been working on for quite a long time, it's a scarf for one of my best friends (Melinda).  This is my knitting bag, it is supposed to be a purse but I don't like soft purses.     My great aunt made this monkey doll for me, and I made the apron. I got this in a kit, it came with paint, it was hard to put together, and fun to  paint.
