Going back in time - part two

I went a little crazy taking photos in the early settlers slab house, at the historical museum.







The house is original was moved from a property about 20 minutes away, it had been rebuilt about 10 years ago.





 I really liked the quirky touches at this museum.

After receiving a recent donation, the museum folk where able to built a replica outside kitchen,

and bathhouse.

Oh, it is so fun, stepping back in time.

Home projects

It was with great reluctance that I returned Alicia Paulson's book, "Stitch in Time" to the library today. I've had it a while now, in fact, it's a bit overdue. Opps!

It has inspired a few projects around here of late. The nutcracker doll and my new happy birthday banner. Here are a few other projects from the book that I love.



A memory quilt made from the children's clothes. A quilt like this is big on my list, but it scares me just a little bit.



I love this travel tote for holding maps and brochures. Choose your destination and stitch on you travel route.



Another lovely way to showcase your children's artwork. A potholder.



A recipe card apron, very retro, very cute.



A sleepover pillow (with your home phone number in ric rac!)

Karen, it seems as if you have already been thinking about 'sleepover pillows' . Yes, you should definitely make one for your beautiful children. A little piece of home to take away with them.
