A Million Little Fork Pleats

Wish me luck, I am doing a million little fork pleats. This is my very first time doing fork pleats. If you don’t know of what I speak, I really mean that I am making peats with a…

with a fork. It is way faster then doing it by hand. But, it is still taking me forever because I need yards and yards of pleated trim. What am I doing with this trim??? That will be seen in a future blog post!!! Yes, me excited and me keeping it a secret!!! mahahaha 

Tips on Fork Pleats

  • Use The Baby Fork!!! – Seriously, the big fork keeps hitting the side of the sewing machine. The swap to the baby fork was a game changer.

 

Learning Tree Farm – Homeschool Day 2021

Dear Sis,

We recently learned about Learning Tree Farm, in Dayton Ohio. We registered for their homeschool day, which was originally scheduled for the final Monday of October, but was postponed until today because of the weather. We had a wonderful day with another homeschooling family we’ve gotten to know over the past few years.

There are two different 1 mile loop hiking trails, but today we just walked back to the tire swing, knowing that we needed to pace ourselves to get through all the activities available!

Charlotte… our piggy crazed two-year-old got to meet a real live pig for the first time. It hasn’t changed her option of pigs a bit! I was amazed that these pigs were just twelve weeks old. They are going to be huge!



The goats were in the stall next to the pigs in the bank barn. This sweet baby goat let the girls cuddle all over it:)

Then, we ventured into the pasture to pet the sheep.



After lunch, the kids played on the creative and usual playscape. William enjoyed giving the girls a pretend wagon ride and they were happy to play along:)

We had many other adventures, but I didn’t have my phone out snapping pictures the whole time:) We can’t wait to go back again next year!!!

Love,
