I tell my parents that the reason I have this farm of animals is because they forced me to sit during "family tv time" and watch every episode of Little House on the Prairie......and secretly I still watch the reruns because there are no good shows like that today! I say be strong!!! You can make that outfit then play Laura in the winter as your trudge out to the barn in a blizzard;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14070606564603963629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054664815711393688.post-77310637506295121812010-11-09T11:13:39.326-06:002010-11-09T11:13:39.326-06:00I'll help you with the shawl, but you are on y...I'll help you with the shawl, but you are on your own with the sewing!thecrazysheepladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10835269631172344336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054664815711393688.post-5902623994680116932010-11-09T10:22:26.199-06:002010-11-09T10:22:26.199-06:00Ohmygosh, in that first photo you look *just* like...Ohmygosh, in that first photo you look *just* like Carrie Ingalls from the tv series! :-)<br />Adorable.Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623233206043947281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054664815711393688.post-26720408050643714932010-11-09T09:45:17.894-06:002010-11-09T09:45:17.894-06:00You can do it, Christine!
