Let there be Peace on Earth......

'Cause my Prairie Schooler design is done! This will officially be finish number 5 for me this year so far and I am still very happy with the fact that I have already finished more stitching in the first three months of 2011 than I completed in all of 2010.

When I first saw this design I immediately thought of my Granny's house from when I was a small child. The house was an old farm style home, typical of Anne Arundel county 18th and 19th century architecture here in Maryland. It was a sunny yellow house with a front porch and a summer kitchen off to the side. It actually had a circular driveway in the front yard and beautiful daffodils and other flowering bulbs planted across the front and along the sidewalk. This picture of the Zepp Farmhouse was taken in the 1970s.
I met up with 2 of my cousins this weekend for lunch at a wonderful Chinese restaurant and when they saw it both said it reminded them of Granny's house too. This is a picture taken of my Grandmother and Grandfather out in the front yard overlooking the farmland. This was taken by my cousin Shirley with a Brownie camera and is probably taken sometime within the early 1940s.
