Thank you all so much for entering in the contest for Leif – only a couple of days before I announce the winner! Sweet, sweet comments as usual – seriously, you gals (and guys) are the best!
I am SO embarrassed! I haven’t written on my blog for – ever. It’s been a tough few weeks – I’ve had a really bad sore throat and Jasper has declared between 3- 5:30am ‘party time’ every night. He’s never been a consistent sleeper but at least we’d have one of those kinds of nights and then 3 good ones. By 8pm when he’s tucked in bed, I am so zonked that blogging just seems very hard. I sit on the couch sewing and watching movies instead.
We just saw this really great reality show/ documentary called Frontier House. They take 3 families and transport them to the 1800’s where they have to set up a homestead for 5 months. They have to set up their livestock, gardens and prepare for the winter. This has been one of the best things I’ve ever watched – I loved it. Really, because this is my dream – I’d love to buy a big chunk of land with a few other families and ‘live off the land’ – but with running hot/cold water, electricity and the internet! Oh – a dishwasher would be nice too. The best part of the show was at the end when they revisited the families 2 months later after their frontier life. They seemed so sad, even the snarky Malibu teenagers. They realized that their lives where somewhat empty and boring, modern day distractions just not doing what they used to. Anyhow, I rented it at the library – it’s a PBS thing so I’m sure they have it at your library too.
On the dolls – I can see by the amount of feedback I’ve received that this week’s fairy was a BIG hit. It seems like everyone wants a fairy 🙂 Well – good news – I have 3 more of these in the works at the moment. A Marigold Fairy, a Blueberry Fairy and a Rainbow Fairy. I may even have a Woodland Fairy too – but we’ll see how the time goes. There will be the fairies and about 5 or 6 new dolls up on Friday as well.
Hope everyone is having a great summer so far.
