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.

    Sweet! Will she have a bonnet too, and sensible leather shoes/boots like pioneer ladies would have? She'll wear those tennies out in a hurry!

    Are you and hubby going this year, too? I imagine you have your hands full with a reception to plan. Wish youngest daughter, Happy Trails, from us.

Ten Things of Thankful: Last Two Weeks

  Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos. (I was able to add the above photo by using blogger on my phone, but that isn't my preferred method.) I want to write about Yellowstone and have photos I want to share, but will leave that for another

Monday Mentions: Equate Crutches

Have you ever needed crutches? I hadn't, until a week ago.  I'm pretty sure I strained a muscle while running a half-marathon.  (That sounds kind of cool, doesn't it? I'm not actually that cool; the last time I strained a muscle it was from carrying too many shopping bags at once.) In any case, I found myself in need of some crutches. I sent my husband to the store to get some.

I shouldn't have worried. John came home from Walmart with their generic store brand of crutches, complete with instructions. First, I needed to take out a long bolt that went through the hand grip. Then I needed to find my height range, push down two metal pieces, and slide the crutches until the little metal pieces came up in the hole near my height range. (Having two people for this
