Today I am delighted to be participating in the Spring Into Summer Porches, Patios, and Outdoor Spaces Blog Hop hosted by my sweet friend Amber of Follow The Yellow Brick Home.

How To Find Historic Costuming Friends
Six years ago I visited Colonial Williamsburg. While there I purchased a hat and pattern to sew an 18th-century dress. I shared the outcome at Halloween with rousing success. Then two years went by before I presented Becoming Jane. I loved the research and the process of creating historical clothing. But I didn't do it year-round because what was the point?

And Then The Entire Post Disappeared
On Friday I set aside three hours to edit photos and write a post entitled An Easy Way to Pick Out The Perfect Paint Color. It was a great post. So informative. You would have loved it. Just before I went to hit save the entire computer screen went blank. And Then The Entire Post Disappeared. Nothing I did would restore it. I wanted to cry. This is a new computer and well, who knows. But I just didn't have another 2+hours to create it again. I'm really not sure how other bloggers somehow ... View the Post
