Fashion Friday – Modern Workwear
I haven’t done a Fashion Friday in a while, and well… I really like to do them… so I think I’ll try to do about one of these or so a month. If you like these posts, please leave a comment. I’d like to know I’m not just doing them for my own entertainment. This…
Read MoreAnatomy of the Farm
Over the next few weeks, I hope to spend so time with you, discussing a great book I found during a recent trip to the bookstore — Farm Anatomy: The curious parts and pieces of country life, by Julia Rothman. From row crops to gardening and animals, this is a beautiful visual guide to all…

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope that your new year is going well so far. Mine seems to be going well so far. To start, I’ve submitted my first design (a pattern) to Threadless. I’d love for you to stop by and leave a comment and/or vote for the design (preferably a good score). I’d…

Read MoreIndiana Farm Bureau Conference 2011
This past weekend My husband and I got the opportunity to attend the 2011 Indiana Farm Bureau Conference in Indianapolis. This year’s conference was hosted at the new JW Marriott. The hotel wasn’t even open this time last year. The hotel has 33 floors – well really 32, since they skipped the 13th floor. It’s…
Read MoreChristmas Time Again
It’s that time of year. The Christmas parties have already started. My first one this year was the Patoka Township Farm Bureau party and it was actually on the 1st of December. Of course, it’s always on the first Thursday of December, so it’s not always so early in the month. We had a new…
