GaiasRose	Posted - Jan 05 2008 : 5:05:45 PM I purchased a new dress form. Some of you may know my current form, Valerie, well, in my crafting adventures today working on my super secret and super fabulous WIP to be revealed sometime in the coming months, I realized that Valerie is getting much too old and used. SOOOOOO she is going to stand proud int he corner dressed to the nines and a new form will be taking her place. I am hosting a contest to name my new dress form, Winner gets a nice brand new sewn by me Edwardian apron. Contest ends at the end of January. Enter in this thread not by email! have fun! ~~Brightest Blessings~~ Tasha-Rose Farmgirl Sister #88 Blogs: http://gaiarose.wordpress.com http://womonandsprout.wordpress.com http://youtube.com/profile?user=GaiasRose Homepage: http://ForestFaeries.etsy.com

abbasgurl	Posted - Jan 20 2008 : 12:37:46 PM Tasha, I think we'll be needing a picture of Verdelia in all her finery! I loved hearing about you gram Bridgette! And her nickname...so endearing. Congrats on your new apron Bridgette! Enjoy! Rhonda I'm a one girl revolution.
Bridge	Posted - Jan 19 2008 : 8:02:52 PM How cool!! Valerie & Verdelia. I am sure my granna is smiling proudly. She loved to sew and was an excellent seamstress & quilter! I never met her but have always loved that name and the stories of her. I feel that her & I are very much alike. My mom always said "mother sure would have been proud of you". I have a bowtie quilt that she pieced and her and the "bee" ladies quilted hanging in my living room. One of my most prized possesions!! She was a farmgal and kept a wonderful home. She canned, raised chickens, made soap, sewed. quilted and was a great cook. My mom also said that she would always help anyone that was in need. They lived by train tracks and poor men looking for work would sometime jump the train. Sometimes they would wander by there home and granna would always set them a plate of food on the porch. Mom said those bums would slop the animals and do chores for granna. Other folks would say they were bad or thiefs but not granna, they were just hungry. Boy I sure got off track, sorry.. Tasha I will email you tomorrow with the info, I will also send you a picture of Verdelia if you'd like. By the way, mom always said that her dad called her "Deely" but no one else did. So if you wanna sweet talk your model you might try it!!! LOL

Holiday Angel	Posted - Jan 12 2008 : 3:06:49 PM Just a note to let the ladies know that if you would like free memory boxes to remember your little ones you can request an individual (per child) box or one per family. This is part of what we do for hospitals and individuals. To check them out look on my Holiday Childrens blog as there is a slide show of some of them on there.

chessie	Posted - Jan 12 2008 : 2:51:28 PM ps, Tasha, i just noticed you are farmgirl 88 and I'm 89! does this make us related? I know we are already farmgirl sisters... but this should mean something...i wonder what? now, since i'm curious, i'm gonna go find out who numero 90 is... love, karen www.edgehillherbfarm.com "where the name is bigger than the farm, but no one seems to mind" blog http://edgehillherbfarmer.spaces.live.com/default.aspx?wa=wsignin1.0 happy farmgirl #89
chessie	Posted - Jan 12 2008 : 2:39:58 PM Tasha, I send you condolences. I, too, lost babies and am hoping and praying things go better for you this next go round. As to the name for your dress form that I am entering into your contest, I played a word game and changed the letters around of "dress form" into "Mrs Serdof". I had at first tried to spell it backwards but was unhappy with that, because it spelled "Mr of Sserd" and a "Mr." your form is not. I am much happier with "MRS. SERDOF" and hope you like it too. Much Love, karen www.edgehillherbfarm.com "where the name is bigger than the farm, but no one seems to mind" blog http://edgehillherbfarmer.spaces.live.com/default.aspx?wa=wsignin1.0 happy farmgirl #89
