All Huck may want for Christmas is his two front teeth, but I want this:
The Prairie Girl’s Guide To Life: How to Sew a Sampler Quilt and 49 Other Projects for the Modern Girl, by Jennifer Worick.
From Amazon: “Frontier fun meets a home-spun touch in this heart-warming mixture of pioneer projects and wistful nostalgia. Jennifer Worick teaches readers how to sew a quilt, master the art of bread-and-butter pickles, speak old-time slang, and much much more. This is for the legions of Laura Ingalls Wilder fans who have dreamed of what a pioneer life out on the prairie would be like. Combining step-by-step how-to on crafts, with tongue-in-cheek instructions on prairie slang, winning a spelling bee, and singing a lullaby, The Prairie Girl’s Guide to Life allows fans to finally act out their childhood dreams or to simply enjoy the vicarious thrill of reading about it one more time. This is a book that will pull at the heart strings of every childhood Laura and also teach us a few prairie-time crafts along the way.”
Yes, I know that there are many of you who will find it incredibly geeky that I idolized Laura Ingalls Wilder, but I did (and still do, secretly). I can’t wait to use prarie slang on Tom and Huck!
Santa Baby, I’ve been an awful good girl.
I’ll be back on Monday with a post on my experiences compiling a mailing list for my print catalogue. Have a good weekend!
