I came across a book that you would enjoy called The Prairie Girl's Guide to Life by Jennifer Worick. The author loved the Little House books and came up with projects to feed the pioneer spirit for every room of the house, barn, etc. She's got stuff on how to bake a rhubarb pie, predict the weather, braid hair, pan for gold and much more.
I'm enjoy browsing through this book, but I think Amy's ideas are every bit as good! Good job Amy, very creative.
