A Princess's Skirt

Hi there, friends!

I'm back again to give you a update. I think I have posted a picture of myself before, but here I am again.I am doing a post about myself today.( It is going to be a rare thing, I must say.)My mom made me the cutest skirt. It's blue! All lot of my clothes are blue so my mom wanted me to pick out blue fabric. The cool thing is, it is made out of a mini skirt! We are not allowed to wear skirts or dresses above the knee so mom sews layers on and makes it reach just below the knees. I love these skirts! I have had a lot of these skirts, but outgrown most of them, ( if I didn't tear them first!).

My sister got a funny picture, and I decided that I should post it.

I think I was trying to figure out how to pose,while looking up at the sky.

Though it was just gray, like usual. we have had some really nice days, this just wasn't one of them.

This is the skirt. Isn't it so pretty? I especially like the roses at the top.

I picked different shades of blue so it would match more of my clothes.

Thanks for looking!

I would love to hear from you!

Thanks again,

Mary<3

Spring!!!

One day, I looked out of my window and saw that spring had really come.

This is a maple tree bud, with I think is very pretty.

I love daffodils! They are one of my favorite flowers!

These are white daffodils, we also have yellow daffodils.

Our raspberry are putting out leaves! It is so beautiful!

This is from our neighbor lawn, it is so pretty!

It is bright yellow!

This is from our fruit trees. It is a asian pear, to be exact.

These look like butterflies! Actually, they are leaves, not all the way unfolded.

This is another wonderful creation of God.

The crocus!

Our roses are putting out leaves also.

I have no idea what this plant is, but it was rather pretty.

I don't know what this one is either, but it is also pretty.

This is a yellow daffodil.

Thank you for looking girls!

Books!!!!!!

Hello there!

These are some of my favorite books!

The ones you can cuddle up with, and read on a rainy day when there really isn't any 

thing to do but school and the housework.

I have only read the little house books recently, but I don't recommend waiting because I soon found that I was missing out!

I bought these at a Christian book store where we used to live, and enjoyed reading them immensely.

It's about a foster girl, named Skye, who hates anything to do with God, but loves her foster parents horses,

ends up coming to Christ through a friends death. I love them and hope you will take my advise and read them!

Everyone tells me that they can't stand this book, but my sister gave me a copy and I read it. Now it is one of my most favorite books. She talks so dramatically, it really does make you laugh!

This is about a girl who left her home town because of the war, but is separated with her father and hopes he will be there when she comes home. When he is not, she sets about making a home for her brother, her grandma and herself. He finally comes home, but not before a soldier who before he went to war became very good friends.

Nory is about 11 years old and lives in Ireland during the potato famine.

 As she struggles to keep her family and herself alive half of her family immigrated, while her father is looking for work for months at a time, until only her and her brother are left in Ireland.

ELSIE DINSMORE!!! An 8 year old girl who is a very strong Christian, and  hopes for her fathers return from Europe. But the only problem is that her father is not a Christian, but I won't spoil the rest of the book.

Or should I say books! There are a rather large amount of  books in this series,the first 2 books are when she was a little girl, all the  rest are when she is older.

I love books and I think that more than one of you  love books too.

I'll keep the reviews coming, but be sure to write in your comments your favorite books.

Bye book lovers!

Mary
