Prairie Sense: Christmas on the Prairie
http://prairiesense.blogspot.com/2009/12/christmas-on-prairie.html
Tuesday, December 15, 2009. Christmas on the Prairie. We all know that years ago Christmas was very slim compared to today. So the following story is not surprising, yet it is very touching. I get a tear or two every time I read it:. Something was shining bright in Laura's stocking. She squealed and jumped out of bed. So did Mary, but Laura beat her to the fireplace. And the shining thing was a glittering new cup. Mary had one exactly like it. Stood still and looked with shining eyes at her own tin cup.

Wednesday, January 20, 2010. This week I will begin teaching Little House Sewing to some homeschooled. Kids in our local Enrichment Class Program. We will be using some of the following patterns in our class:. If you'd like some cute Little House dresses, try McCall's Pattern 2337. I've used this one many times. The dress is extremely easy, and you can use a simple ribbon tie for the waist instead of the cincher. In fact, I've never made the cincher. And the bonnet is a great one! Walnut Grove, MN. Laura...

Awarded to me by Lindsay over @ Just My Blog. Thursday, April 29, 2010. So I have been (along with my husband) consumed this week (well the last few weeks) with hunting down land to build our home on.

Tuesday, February 2, 2010. If this is your first visit to Prairie Sense, view my. My whole idea behind this blog stems from the constant thought, "What did they do about this in the old days?
