Long skirts and chicken poo

Are you wondering what these two items have in common?  Well, when wearing long skirts and walking to and fro from house to barn etc., always keep one hand free.  Why?  So you can hike up your skirt to avoid dragging it in chicken poo (ugh!).  Just part of prairie girl life.

Live Simply

I made a quick trip to the store yesterday for must needed toilet paper.  While I was there I saw some very nice wall decor items.  Each picture was $9.99 each.  The one that caught my eye the most, was a wall sign that said "Live Simply."

Those 2 words are just how I am and how I live.  Seeing that sign made wonder if I could make a sign myself.  Maybe with old barn wood and embroidery?  Now that I have finished my first embroidery sampler, I may add this to my winter crafting list.
