This tagging thing is a blogland game which is fun but can be a bit time consuming so I'll understand if you don't want to paticipate. The rules of the game are at the bottom of my post. Hoping you get even more book suggestions from visitors. Have a nice weekend.

And we actually do have a pet lizard thanks to my son buying one (without asking!) at a Renaissance Fair several years ago. <BR/><BR/>I can't wait to see what you'll make out of the floral fabric. I'm so glad you like it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622641255453915063.post-6370749241388438582009-01-15T14:47:00.000-05:002009-01-15T14:47:00.000-05:00Hi Natalie Jo. I can see why so many people in the...Hi Natalie Jo. I can see why so many people in the States are inspired by Mary Jane's farm. Lovely video clip, it looks wonderfully idyllic (but hard work). We grow some of our own veg and fruit here in northern England and although we get plenty of much needed rain we also get the accompanying grey skies so ripening the produce can be difficult. Luckily we have a number of farm shops so can always purchase from other growers with bluer skies!! Good to see Lucy sitting atop a stack of books, brave little thing (hope you have supplied her with a tiny ladder). And who is that white furry face peeping through the glass and looking very mischievous? Gorgeous envelopes, I'm not sure sending post-Christmas cards isn't a better idea. It would give us something pleasent to do in dull old January and nice to get return greetings to cheer the long dark days (pre Christmas is always so frantic). Aren't kids funny. Mine were like yours as teenagers and now in their twenties they have turned out like their mum! My daughter and I have always chatted to soft cuddly toys in shops and if we pick them up we have animated conversations with them, it has kept many a shopper amused and I'm certain people think we're crazy, however I'm sure everyone lives in the world of their own imagination. Can't wait to see what your next project will be and if you'll be using that gorgeous fabric. Keep us posted.

It starts with a ten minute clip on Mary Jane herself and then progresses on to a number of topics from biscuits, to tatting, to chickens. Would love to go to the B&B there someday!

Be patient - they might think you're crazy now, but they will end up emulating your fine qualities when they are in their twenties!<BR/>I once read somewhere that terrible teens who thought everything you sewed was trash, end up coming round in college when they are poor and desperate for new fashions! LOL<BR/>I love the look of your magazine, 'Mary Jane's Farm' and will have to look for it.<BR/>My birthday present is always a gift of Martha Stewart Living, which will ship internationally, and when it arrives it is always like getting a little piece of home delivered to my doorstep.<BR/>Thanks to one of your reader's comments, I purchased the December of Country Living on ebayUK and am expecting it soon!<BR/>I, too, missed it and am looking forward to browsing through it in February.<BR/>But today I need to get some ironing done and some sewing in the works.<BR/>Your kids will come round and will always recall how mum was an avid blogger, creative sewer, and lover of all things creative and making a lovely home. <BR/>xxx<BR/>MaggieSweetScarletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927458807571696342noreply@blogger.com
