When my daughter was in middle school our Girl Scout troop went to The End Of The Oregon Trail Museum. We spent the night camping on the grounds, and we got to tour the museum. It was a lot of fun. The only thing that really bothered me was the freight trains that ran through…

The monogamous knitting continues! Here is the latest Ida's Kitchen hat, knit again in Berocco Ultra Alpaca Lite. Why so many of these? Next week I'm going Up North with some friends, where we hope to spend a lot of time cross country skiing. I'm planning to pull out my pile of Ida Kitchens and let my friends pick one if they want. In the meantime, I'm luxuriating in the first week of winter break. My daughter Rachel is home for the whole week, so we have been shopping and movie-going and playing Set. This is her first year out of college, so it's the first year she hasn't been home for a month at the holiday time. I have kept my schedule very open so I can spend as much time as possible with her. I've seen a lot less of Seth, who goes to school right here in Madison. He is planning to apply to vet school next fall, so he has been busy volunteering at the zoo, the Humane Society, and a local veterinarian's office. My job is really hard, but I have to admit that the breaks are nice!
I'm in a Button Fairy swap here on SCS and I found some Victorian, little girl gift tags that I've been hanging on to for 20 years. They just begged to have a new life. The button fairies are easy to make and very addictive. The antique buttons were strung on wire and then the paper heads were glued on. Ribbons and flowers along with Stickles were added to the hats as embellies. Some charms and beads were also used along with the buttons. Wings are a die by Marianne Creatables.
