Hey fellow farmgirls!
My name is Autumn, and I'm a stay-at-home mama to three children; two boys, ages 6 and 3, and a baby girl who is 6-months old. I live in southern Indiana, in the heart of the city, but dream of living on a farm one day in the near future...bonus points if I can have a neighboring farm with my best friend and her family! ;)
I grow 3 gardens every year and enjoy canning and preserving my hard work. I am a needle felter, and enjoy everything wool. I love crafting of every sort, though, and also enjoy knitting, painting, and making Waldorf dolls.
I'm so excited to be a member of the Sisterhood! |

Welcome Autumn. So happy to have you with us all. You do keep yourself busy with 3 wonderful children, and 3 gardens. Enjoy your time with us.
Happy New Year!

Welcome to the farm Autumn...you will fit right in and have lots of fun here! I share your interest in gardening and needle felting. I also enjoy tatting and decorative painting.

Thanks for the warm welcome, ladies!
Marly - busy is my middle name! I love every minute. :)
Marilyn - I've never heard of tatting before, but it sounds interesting!
Roxanna - Yes, the time goes by too fast. I'm realizing this more and more as my children grow. I wish there was a way to slow it down!
Catherine - I look forward to making many friendships here!
Diane - a Waldorf doll is a style. Basically the doll has very minimal features so a child can use his/her imagination to make it happy, sad, angry, etc. I'll try to attach a picture. Hopefully it'll work. :)

Autumn, how do you grow three gardens, or am I missing something? It gets cold in Indiana. My garden is presently sleeping and enjoying the rest. I am soon going to be winter sowing to get ready for spring planting.

Hello Autumn,
I am from southern Indiana. I have no kiddos, just a very spoiled kitty! I live in a small town (not really a farm, but my little piece of heaven). I enjoy gardening, reading and cross-stitching. I look forward to getting to know you.

Hello Autumn,
Welcome to the farm! I live on a small farm in Illinois. My husband and I have 4 children; 1 girl and 3 boys. I stay at home with the youngest. I also love to garden and enjoy canning, knitting and quilting.
Hope you enjoy your time with us!
Annette :)

Bridgette - I got my first ever speeding ticket in your town! Well, I'm assuming Dubois is in Dubois county? I went to college at the University of Evansville, and when I was 18 I was going back to school after a visit to home and got a ticket. The police officer wasn't very nice to me. ;)
Annette - how old are your kiddos? We are done at three children. They keep us busy enough! :)

LOL Autumn,
My town is actually Dubois, but yes it is in Dubois County.
You most likely achieved your ticket in Jasper or Huntingburg.

Welcome Autumn! You're going to love it here. I know you are busy all the time, but hope you are also enjoying every minute of it. I would give anything to have one more day with my kids when they were little. Spending time with my grandbabies is just as great. I have an old friend from school who lives in New Albany. It's a nice little town.
