There's a lot that appeals about the Amish way of life.
The approach to self-reliance.
The plain style of dress.
Simple crafting from scraps.
The pure simplicity.
Even their preference for birthing at home...
The Little One has become attached to this Amish Doll,
which she found at her Nanny's house this week.
She's lovely, don't you think?
Now I'm attempting to make one too,
for a certain little cousin who turns one next month.

Ah, I live very close to "Amish country" and have seen a lot of those dolls, even in my own home growing up! They're sweet, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteI'll look forward to seeing your interpretation of the Amish doll.
ReplyDeleteah, what a sweet thing to make. I like the simple life too but the fundamentalism of thier religion might just stop me day dreaming too much about thier exact method of living ;O)
