More ideas that you’ll love.

At the time, it was fashionable for all the old farmhouses to add on big giant kitchens and the wife of the family wanted one too..Her husband refused, as husbands do, but eventually she got her way.

They started on the big project of adding onto their little farmhouse.It looks like this is the time when they got indoor plumbing and electricity as well.The stairs to the basement were even boarded up and a new back hall leading downstairs was added on.

It was a big undertaking, but they got it done.. One day, it was all finished and it was time to move back in.They got settled back into the kitchen, moved their furniture back in.

The husband walked in, sat down at the kitchen table….

In the middle of my kitchen!I also realized that I didn’t have the heart to disturb the kitty’s nap to make the bed for this picture, so I didn’t.

I had originally wanted to make this a ruffly bed skirt.I took one of the strips of fabric and hand-sewed some big, one inch stitches in it, then I pulled the thread tight to make it ruffle up..

The thing is, when I brought this strip upstairs to hold it up to the bed and see how it would look, I quickly realized that this whole ruffle thing was going to be a little too frou frou for Kennedy.So basically half of all of those millions of strips of fabric that I’d ripped, and ironed, and sewn were totally not needed.. Oh well!
