Make Believe

It's nice to have games and parties and such

but a poor house can only take so much

there are dishes to wash and floors to sweep

don't even think about pretending to sleep

Wordless Wednesday

Orangette and Primrose and the Great Disappointment

Mrs. Montague, the butcher's wife, decided to elevate the tone of the village by introducing a book club. Truth be told, our two friends are not great readers. Orangette would glace at the funnies in the village paper from time to time and Primrose is strangely devoted to the life and times of Dr. Dolittle, and that is pretty much it. However, an evening of tea and gossip with the ladies is not to be missed, and they both signed up.

On the evening of the first meeting the two arrived with a banana-cream pie and high expectations. It was not long before disappointment settled in - instead of tasty tidbits and the latest going-ons, the ladies delved right in and began talking books. Will they begin with the perennial favorite Austen or a Russian classic? One of the Bronte sisters or something quite modern? Primrose was planning to suggest Beatrix Potter but thought better of it in this highbrow company. And when it was decided to read no less than six chapters of The Pickwick Papers by the following week, Orangette and Primrose began to feel quite certain that they would both have an awful headache on that day.

What Are Little Boys Made Of?

What are little boys made of?

frogs and snails and puppy-dogs' tails

that's what little boys are made of
(traditional children's song)

I Felt Like It

My darling niece Michal made this drawing for me 

a few years back and I've used it a LOT

I've made a felted doll, labels, an embroidery

I even used it for my logo for a while

now I made a little felt embroidered picture out of it

and here is the original drawing -

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like a Picnic

Bedtime Revisited

We've been running around all the long day

doing our part, being cheerful and gay

games have been played, stories were read
please, we're exhausted, may we go to bed?
