Just Keep Twisting Hay

Today marks my 56th trip around the sun. In many ways, this has been the best year of my life. But it also has definitely been the absolute worst. I have written this all down for my kids  But perhaps it can also offer hope for others. To inspire them to keep going. Never give up. Just Keep Twisting Hay. The Long Hot Summer Last August marked three months without rain. Despite daily watering around the foundation of our home the clay soil had started to shift the foundation at ... View the Post

Hello sweet friends, how is your weekend shaping up? I must say things have been a bit challenging lately at here Storybook Cottage.

Here's to Sunday Smiles Get Cozy. A Slow Simple Life I am so thankful I took three weeks off. Looking back I can now see that I was completely worn out. Going forward I am going to strive to savor a slow simple life. I'm done clicking on posts titled "How To Hustle" and "This Years New Trends".  I know what I ... View the Post

Nellie Oleson’s Silk Polonaise Dress

Today's post is over two years in the making. I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am to share Nellie Oleson's Silk Polonaise Dress. What's The Big Idea As many longtime readers are aware I began seriously sewing a little over three years ago. I had begun volunteering at the Farmers Branch Historical Park here in D/FW as well as at the Little House on the Prairie museum site in Independence, Kansas. As a result, I wanted to dress in a more authentic manner. This was also about the ... View the Post

Sunday Smiles Kindness Makes All The Difference

Hello sweet friends! These past two weeks have been a very difficult time for our family. As many of you know my dear cousin Carolyn and Mr. Decor's grandmother Joyce both now have heavenly addresses. We are also dealing with some very heartbreaking dishonesty that almost made me lose my faith in humanity. But various small acts of kindness that were unexpected have filled my heart once again. I know as a nation we are also experiencing a time of great difficulty and uncertainty. But I hope that ... View the Post
