BlogLove: Everything Your Mother Made and More

I found this blog  EVERYTHING YOUR MOTHER MADE & MORE while doing a google search trying to find instructions of making homemade crib & playard sheets.  I hit the motherload here - if you're a crafty do-it-yourselfer, you'll like this blog.

I brought in the feed, and it's on my friends list if you are interested in watching it (I give up trying to post lj links to feeds).

Texas Wendish Festival (Sept 27th - Sunday)

I'm going to check out the Texas Wendish Festival next Sunday.  It's held in Serbin Texas which is just under 100 miles from New Braunfels - and just over 100 miles from Houston.

The Wendish people came to Texas to escape persecution (mostly religious).  They originated in the Eastern Germany area I think.  The goal was to preserve the culture here in Texas; however, it is all but lost.  The yearly festival is mostly a tribute to these people and their culture.

I so wish Marcel could come with me, but the restaurant is open on Sunday. 

Anyone else in my area who plans to go - let me know, and we can meet there!
