Lisa- I was wearing two aprons!! I had on my working apron and then Kathie brought me one of her super-cute half aprons and on it went!!
Tamara's apron pocket was made from a handkerchief. Isn't it beautiful? It was attached across the bottom, set on point, and before the top corner was attached, a little clear plastic ring was slipped on to hold the fabric together. I think she said she got it from eBay.
The sheets from my back porch roof are coming off today to be made into strips for a rug! But I did love how they looked out there billowing in the breeze as we sat and ate lunch. 
My house is still not put back together. That is the plan for today. To bring up all of the furniture we stuck under the house and put it back where it belongs. But I have to say, I sort of liked the "spare" look and may just toss a bunch of stuff into a yard sale next weekend. ha ha
Then it will be easier to get ready for the next Farmgirl Gathering.  And you know it's happening!

| KArin you are so flexible...i love it!!! I was so inspired to finally decorate my house, i have been holding back and now i want to burst into action. Anyone who wants to send me ideas for an 1800's farmhouse, let me know! I need to make this place look more like I am in charge, rather than a preschool in every corner! |

Kathie,
I connected to the connection.. Woohoo.. Your description was so charmingly accurate, it sounded as delightful, as it felt the first time around..Thank you for my beautiful bag, I love it, and it is now known as prissystitches tatting traveler!! lol
I arrived with my username via the help of my daughters Tiffany and Tamara, need I say more, and by the way I have already smacked them for not sharing the stripped pieces of sheets...they were not raised to selfishly guard strips of fabric..lol
It was a lovely day, and the way your words captured the essence of MaryJane is brilliant...for she is just as you described.
Thanks for all the fun, and friendliness, it is so nice to have a face with a name. You are all an elite group of women, and it was a great pleasure to be with you all..
piling love upon love, Cilla |

a drop more of love

Here we go Miss Jess, plunge into trifle making, ready...
1 angel food cake, torn into pieces
3 boxes of whatever flavour jello
3 bags of frozen or canned fruit
3 large vanilla pudding mixes
1 large cool whip
OK make up the jello, and toss it into a large glass bowl, (for showing off purposes), having first placed in the bowl your torn cake bits, the jello will soak into the cake, yum, then chuck in the fruit, I actually do not add the cold water whilst making the jelly, I add the frozen fruit instead. Anyhoo, let it all set overnight, then make up the pudding normally, it is probably in your best interest to add the pudding more gingerly, save it back- splashing all over your newly cleaned pinny (English for apron, comes from pinafore)...lol, it will quickly set, you would then be free to pile on the cool whip, and garnish as you wish, chocolate is always tasty with fruit.
Hopefully it will all go well, and your tastebuds should be well satisfied..and those whom you serve..if not don't tell me, let me think of you eating trifle as any well brought up Englishwoman...lol
the pile of love is growing!

Kathie & Jess~ Thanks for all the pics. We DID have a ball! Oh, Karin, what a wonderful day...
We arrived home about midnight on Friday and since then I have just been kind of in a daze of farmgirl friendship. Meeting all of you was SO grand.
Karin, thank you. Oh, we had FUN! And, Karin, once you have recovered from all your hardwork (you sure know how to throw a party), I would LOVE how-to instructions for your bathroom. Do you think I can do my whole bedroom? Did you all get to see Karin's built in mini house with all the furniture and everything? Oh, your house was so cuuuuttttteee!
It can not be simply said, but thank you all for being in my life...
MaryJane's daughter,
Meg

Meg - well, back to home sweet you are home and posting up a storm! I bet you feel you will never catch up! You have the sweetest hubby and daughter. And rightly so, since you are a real sweet girl yourself. I am so glad to have met you.
Now, go paper your bedroom! :) Karin will fly out and help!

Dearest Meg- I thought about you all weekend, wondering if you have had time to recouperate!! Thank you, ALL of you, for making Monday one of my most favorite days spent with friends. I have written about it in my journal, on my blog and filed it in the cabinet that holds sweet memories in my mind.
It was such a pleasure to have all of you here, crafting and chatting and eating. ha ha I think I gained 10 lbs. in spite of all of my running around!
Any time you want to come back to Georgia, you just let me know. There will always be chairs at my table for you.
Karin
PS- check out my blog if you have a chance. I posted a lot of pictures. :)
I forgot to add that I will send you directions for the "wallpaper."
And yes, Jess, you can post pics of my home-in-the-wall. I have some on my blog as well. :)
xxxoooK
Wherever you go, there you are.

Hey Meggie, (double letters in the middle of the worddie...LOL)
I was so happy to meet you, and the circumstances made it particularly delightful, stripping sheets, joining and rolling them into monumental soft balls. It was grand to be able to set the world to rights...however, I don't see too much improvement yet! lol.
Thank you for coming, with your brilliant Mummy, and baby and husband, your gentleness and kindness made it a little farmgirl paradise, the girls and I had the greatest of times.
piles of love,
Cilla
