This is Episode 04 | FAMILY | FRANK | FISHIES (with so many more episodes to come)!
Minnie was suddenly a widow with 4 small children and struggling through the days on her sprawling cotton farm...follow along as you find out how they made do as the years went 'round and 'round and the creativity of Frank, who happened home with Joe one weekend and ended up staying on to be a help and handyman for the next 36 years! Reminiscent of our past, we have kept up with growing goldfish on our own acres through the past 3 generations and beautiful summer flowers to brighten up the days.

Susanne,
I still had some new sewing patterns tucked away and they were just added to the shop! It has been quite a while and you are so sweet to send me your note of encouragement. Congratulations on the grands!

Hi Marmee,
I have been searching around on your site and the internet in general for a blouse pattern you once had that I wish I had purchased. I believe it was called Camille and was a sweet simple button-up blouse with an optional little ruffle around the bottom and maybe some tucks. Is that pattern still available anywhere?
I have always appreciated the sweet way you have encouraged homemaking and the sweet joys of motherhood! You encouraged me in my earlier busy years of parenting when I had 9 littles running around my feet. These days 4 of those littles are married and there are 10 grands bringing joy!
