Almost four weeks went by since my last blog post. I didn’t spent those weeks idle. In fact, I have been really busy with all sorts of stuff, which I hope to show in another blog post. Taking part …
We have several books that teach children about emotions including: The Way I Feel by Janan Cain Boo Hoo Bird by Jeremy Tankard My Many Colored Days by Dr. Seuss Fisher Price PeekaBoo Baby - Faces & Feelings by Claire Kincaid We've checked out several others from the library as well, but PeekaBoo Baby remains Sweet P's favorite. I think Gammie actually bought it for Sprout, but Sweet P LOVES it! It talks about different feelings and emotions, and has large lift the flap pages. I'm pretty sure that's how Sweet P learned what it means to be sad! Questions to ask about feelings/emotions while reading books: How does he/she feel? What made him/her feel that way? How would that make you feel? Why is he/she happy, sad, angry, jealous, etc? Talk about the character's positive or negative behavior and other ways he/she could behave when feeling happy, sad, angry, jealous, etc? We also have the Melissa & Doug's Dress Up Wooden Bear puzzle with changeable faces. It's a simple puzzle and a great way to teach common emotions and feelings (since sick and sleepy are two of the options). When Sweet P plays with it I like to ask her to make a surprised face, sick face, sad face, etc. This helps her identify with the feeling/emotion and then we talk about what makes us happy, sad, surprised, etc. I recently read an article on How to Get Your Child to Listen by Dr. Victoria Samuel, which included how to listen to your child. The part that stuck out most to me was that "It’s crucial to accept feelings and resist the temptation to make things better by denying them (“hey, there’s no reason to be so upset”)." Allowing our children to feel and accept the emotions they are experiencing is a vital part of learning. And I can't tell you how often I say "You don't have to be scared." or "There's nothing to be upset about." In their mind, there is! Helping your children identify the emotions they are feeling and the underlying reason for why they feel that way will help them in similar situations later. I also think hearing "It's okay to be scared" or "It's okay to be upset" can help them understand that expressing emotions of any kind is okay. So many times our children feel an emotion they don't recognize and have a hard time expressing the issue behind it. Just last night Sweet P whined when I told her I was going to put Sprout to bed. She feels a twinge of jealousy each time I tell her I'm putting him to bed, but isn't sure how to express that feeling. It often results in a tantrum or whining. I often have a hard time ignoring whining, but that night I ignored it and said "I know you're going to miss me when I put Sprout to bed. I'll miss you too and I'll be out in just a little bit!" I can't say it worked like magic, but it did help. How do you teach your children about emotions? What works best for you?

Up for your perusal this fine Spring Sunday, a trio of women’s magazine from the early part of the last century. As a preservation scanner, I strive to produce scans of material from all parts of popular culture. While a title like The American Needlewoman might not sound too exciting, you never know what you are going to find in some of these old magazines. In the golden era of American Illustration and the time period in which Americans were reading more than ever before or ever since, there are all sorts of goodies in all sorts of publications. At the beginning of the 1920s, there were over 2000 magazines on the stands, many of them finely crafted. I’ve been astounded at the beauty of Cosmos and Redbooks and feel the whole spectrum of women’s magazines is worth exploring with scans. First up, an older scan. The American Woman, August 1919 The American Woman was a publication out of Augusta, Maine. This issue features nice cover by Beryl Morse Greene, an artist I was able to find out absolutely nothing about. Scrollable Cover Scan of American Woman 1919-08 This mag is both very similar but also different to the women’s mag of today. There is illustrated fiction, health and lifestyle articles, a bit on doilies, recipes, kitchen architecture and similar topics you might expect to find in a women’s magazine. Dimensionally, this was pretty big magazine. You’ll notice this issue had been triple-punched at one point, and beyond the cover, I did a pretty light edit on it. I’m growing fonder of the natural look and have a lot of different types of magazines I want to get to, so quite frankly, some get more love than others. In the fiction department, this magazine offers “Madelon” by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman (see a page on Freeman with biographical information, texts, and other goodies here ). Also inside “Cinderella’s Younger Sister” by E.M. Jameson, and “A Short Cut to Freedom” by Alice Garland Steele, “Bitter-Sweet by Ada Mary Harris”, and “The Bride and the Mother-In-Law” by Richard Arnold. A sample: As a carpenter, I’m always fascinated by these old kit homes that were the precursor to modular and other modes of cheap construction. A pretty little craftsman imo. A little house packed with interesting details is far neater to me than a bland mcmansion the size of a football field with raised ceilings and the like. The second lovely up today. The Farmer’s Wife October 1932 featuring a cover from Jules Erbit, more well known for his pin-up work. Lady and dahlia: Scrollable Cover Scan of The Farmer’s Wife 1932-08 I’ve always heard that there was a real struggle between rural and city America, and this magazine was meant to be for those happy to define themselves as rural Americans. Coincidentally, this mag was postmarked to Wamego, KS, for any fellow free staters reading. Fiction includes “Star Lillies” by Ann Warner and “Leather Hinges” by Hugh J. Hughes. There are also letters from farmer’s wives, an article on small homes of Britain, fashion notes, recipes, and tips on building a good henhouse. Samples Scrollable Page An article on “Breaking Baby”, Dr. Spock where are ye? I like this Oxydol ad with Mrs. Drear and Mrs. Cheer, from Rosie O Neill, creator of the Cupie Doll (a nice bio link for O Neill Here) And lastly today, The American Needlewoman, April 1926 sporting perhaps my favorite cover of the three. I know a child with flowers is a tired theme, but I love all the subdued reds and pinks. Scrollable Cover Scan of The American Needlewoman 1926-04 I found a gallery of covers for this magazine featuring Earl Christy and others. I like the reddish stock of paper, it’s definitely kind of funky and the inks a little rough, but very charming. Contents The inside front cover features Hollywood photos, the silver screen ruled the day. Even this needlework magazine is leading with photos of stars and starlets Scrollable Image Some line-drawn illustrations from whom I believe is Morris Hall Pancoast . Scrollable Image This ad here reminds me of my grandpa, who ran a furniture advertising agency for a number of years. As a boy, I remember him having artists around the office responsible for the artwork. A lot of detail and craft goes into an ad like this. Scrollable Image Enjoy the mags, I’ll continue to occasionally explore vintage women’s magazines every once in an attempt to represent a fuller diversity of American magazines and balance my boyish pursuits. Speaking of, next time up here at darwination scans, a personal fascination of mine, a selection of girlie pulps – GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS 2 Oh my Cheers and keep on scannin, Darwin

Satire on fashion. On the left, a young woman dressed in high fashion with a huge wig topped by a hat greets her mother, a lady dressed in the fashion of earlier decades who starts back in horror at her daughter's appearance. Behind the young woman is a black page boy holding her lap-dog, and beyond, at the end of an avenue of trees, is the family's country house; date erased. Hand-coloured mezzotint

A few weeks ago I was hopping from blog to blog, when somebody mentioned their excitement about entering their 'Dear Jane' quilt into a special exhibition of 'Dear Jane' quilts in Nantes, France. A little further investigation, and I discovered that the "Pour l'Amour du Fil" (For the Love of Thread) show was being organised by the magazine Quiltmania. Regular readers will know that I am currently working on my 'Nearly Insane' Quilt, which is of a similar genre to 'Dear Jane', so I was intrigued, especially at the thought of seeing over 100 'Dear Jane' quilts together. 'Dear Jane' 150th Quilt Exhibition, Nantes, France 2013 I regularly go to the quilt shows in the UK, but this was my first 'European' show, which involved a ferry crossing from England to France and a little trip in our camper van. The exhibit of the 'Dear Jane' quilts was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. As you walked into the room, you could not help but gasp in amazement! Over 100 quilts, all the same, all different. There was a Hand- Dyed 'Dear Jane' Quilt Dear Jane Quilt (Hand-Dyed Fabrics) Paula Klein, Luxembourg There was an Indonesian fabric 'Dear Jane' Quilt Dear Jane Quilt (Indonesian Fabrics) Annie Tromp-Doornink, Netherlands There was a Low Volume 'Dear Jane' Quilt Dear Jane Quilt (Low Volume) Ineke Marijissen Van der Molen, Netherlands There was a Liberty Fabric 'Dear Jane' Quilt Dear Jane Quilt (Liberty Fabric) There was a Red and White Dear Jane Quilt Dear Jane Quilt (Red and White) Nathalie Pierre, France There were the traditional Civil War Fabric 'Dear Jane' Quilts Dear Jane Quilt (Civil War Reproduction Fabrics) Michel Galan France There were modern, bright with black background 'Dear Jane' Quilts Dear Jane Quilt (Modern Brights) Chantal Guyon, France There were modern, bright Batik 'Dear Jane' Quilts Dear Jane Quilt (Batik) Diane Rhode and Judy Doenias, USA And some really lovely, unique colour combinations Dear Jane Quilt (Greys, Reds) Rineke Imenshot, Netherlands Originally, Brenda Papadakis was due to attend to give a talk and run some 'Dear Jane' workshops, but due to a broken arm, was not able to travel to France from the USA. However, there were many of her ambassadors at the show, and it was fabulous. The impact of the display was so brilliant, thanks to the organisers and contributors for putting on such a brilliant exhibit. Never to be forgotten. They were all lovely. Do you have a favourite?
