As I was saying... this is what the house can look like after a few solid hours of play and fun.
But as long as I have a big pile of books to pour over, I don't mind at all. Some of these are books I received for my birthday and some are on loan from a lovely new friend with wonderful taste in books (among other things!) I've already sewn one thing from the sewing book (more in that later,) made a recipe from the food book (I am loving this book so much, I need to write more about it,) made a herbal remedy from the medicine book (though it was heartily resisted by its recipient,) and made plans for future celebrations from the festivals book and they only just came into my possession a few days ago. There really is nothing like a pile of books on a blustery winter day to lift the spirits. A clean house would be nice too. But books will do just fine.

Oh a pile of books makes me SO happy and your pile looks wonderful...
ReplyDeleteJordin- glad to hear you like this book- I'm having fun with it so far!
ReplyDeleteooohhh... I would love to have a look through those books. They look and sound so great.
ReplyDeleteThe pants pattern turns out very well for boys, slightly altered! My oldest son, 10, wants me to make him those pants so he can wear them exclusively. :D
ReplyDeletejordin- That is really exciting to hear- I was wondering about those pants. Do you mind me asking how you alter them? Omit the ruffle obviously, but do you change the cut at all? Thanks for sharing!
