Okay we are just having a good time!! Come see!


Prairie Flower Farm has another new free e-pattern download.
It is my Christmas present for you from me!!!

I have so appreciated the orders and all the wonderful comments that you have left me in the last 7 months, since I started my blog. You have encouraged my heart. I want you to know that I appreciate each and everyone of you so much. I designed this little "Tea Bag Cozy" for your personal use. To download the Tea Bag Cozy and Lily and Her Chicks or just one or the other, go along the side of my blog and sign in your name and email. It will come to your email with a link for the download. After you sign up the link only lasts for 48 hours, so make sure you download when you receive the email. If you have any problems please email me. I so want you all to get your Christmas present if you want it!

We have been so busy around Prairie Flower Farm. I have been keeping a lid on this idea and can't wait to tell you. I just finished a new article for the Girlhood Home Companion Christmas Edition and also designed a new "Tea Cozy Pattern" (seen in picture below) for the Girlhood. If you have ever seen the Girlhood Home Companion magazine, you will agree, that it is such a beautiful publication for anyone who is a "Lady" at heart - young or old. Jill Novak (publisher), has a special offer of $1.00 off the single subscription price, for Prairie Flower Blog readers for the Christmas Edition of the Girlhood Home Companion . You will need to put the code: theone in when you order. It would be a lovely Christmas present.

  11. I think my favorite part of your blog is that I get to share your life with mine. Your pictures are beautiful and I can keep up with the family. I have always known that you got all the "artistic" genes in the family. From the early days of you getting up before school and sewing yourself a shirt for that day. To me now watching your blog blossom. I can't wait to tuck the small tea cozy into each of my fellow bible study ladies basket for Christmas. We each have a favorite kind of tea and what a fun gift for me to be able to pass on. Oh, especially I love your love for our Father. Thanks sisser.

  18. Hi, I came over from Nadine's Nook and I'm so glad I did. From looking around your blog I'd say that so far I like the projects your share. I've been wanting to make some yo-yo's but never knew how (actually I think I saw a yo-yo maker at Hobby Lobby and I wondered if you had to have one). Now I know you don't!

  32. I am now receiving your blogs through email. I first encountered this wonderful site by MaryJanesFarm way. Love it and thank you for creating a blog that allows us to be farmgirls with shame. So many will poke fun at our simple ways, but WE do not panic when the electricity goes off because of an ice storm . We relish the thought and search frantically for marshmallows to roast over anything and bask in the warmth of candlelight.
    Take care and be blessed not stressed this CHRISTmas season.

  40. ALthough we only have two back issue copies, we have thoroughly enjoyed Girlhood Home Companion. We have had the opportunity to use this publication to encourage others by sharing magazines with friends and neighbors. I can't think of a better way to support families that embrace productive and vibrant girlhood than through publications like GHC. It's beautiful photography, stories and activities make very inspirational reading!

  42. Hello ladies, just want you to know, that I am enjoying meeting some new ladies. Thank you for the kind words and encouragement.

    I was wrapping a box last night and somehow cut my hand (figure). Not bad, just hurts. My typing is a little different today! Oh well!

    I am so excited. I have only one more day to go to Stuzman's greenhouse!!!!!!!! It is on garlands and swags. Oh my how fun is that one going to be! I will report when I get back.

    Blessings hope this finds you getting ready for the holidays. For those that are out there hurting, I am praying! I am also asking that the church rise up and take care of those who are without jobs!!!!!! We can do it together!
    Have a nice day! Hugs, Linda
