Great Craft stuff!

What a bunch of nice folk out there sending me PILES of letters! (Pratt DID have to dump ONE of them though - he said theyd stop my blog if it got posted, so I guess it had some more bad words.)

One person must REALLY like crafts like I do! They liked the Muslin girls pic and told me just how to make EVERYTHING!!  Fer cuuute! They even told me all the stores to get the stuff. Pratt might like us doing that cos I know one of the apostles back when the church was still living polygamy, wanted his wives to wear Vails with there long dresses, but it didnt catch on. AND the prophet Brigham Young made up his own style for for women. he wanted them to wear REAL loose dresses so no one could see there shape. I guess hed LOVE the muslin girls pic to! Im going to ask Pratt what he thinks. 

In case you dont know how to click on the COMMENTS at the end of my writings, heres some of the letter for how to make the cute Muslin outfits. You can read all  the letter in RECENT COMENTs on the left of my blog and its at the end of yesterdays post.

"Honey Dawn the best source for Afghan burqas is the Hospital supply stores. Just ask them for disposable surgical dropcloths. You can get plastic screen mesh at the HomeDepot and it is really important to add a face screen mask to see where your going. You just cut out a slit and duck tape the window screen over the hole... remember you can wear your burgas to WalMart on 31 October and no Gentiles will bother you, except they keep trying to hand you candy. "

Thanks for the GREAT idea. I would of never of thought of all that.


I was asking for ideas for the deer horns, and somebody else gave me a WAY cute idea- to make chandeleers!!  (Pratt said there was another idea to but it was the one he had to dump) I dont know about making all those wires work for electrics, but I got a better idea. I could use candels to make it more romantic for Pratt and me. AND, guess what???? I got that pink paint at DI on Saturday, so I can paint the horns first!! - WAy cuter than that ugly browney color. I can hot glue tea lights and silk flowers and bows on and hang it all from ribbons! Im TOTALLY excited to get this done!!  I DO need some mony for tea lights though, so itd be great if you could remember to please CLICK ON MY ADS cos I get paid when you do! THANKS!


Somebody said I need to be careful with the color pink cos its half red. I never thought of that. Maybe purples bad too? The bretheren never said anything, so I guess it  must be OK. Thanks for the warning though!


Mavis, MY Pratt didnt go to Alta View Acadamy, so it mustve been another Pratt you knew. Somebody said  the guy in prison - Warren Jeffs- was a teacher there. Did he teach you anything? I heard hes a REAL nice guy and its just the government persecuting him.
  
Back to the Muslins. Some gal(?) said they got religious police to beat muslin gals who go out not all covered up. Im WAY glad we dont have guys doing that kind of stuff but gals SHOULD be modest though. Pratt says Muslins really look out for there gals. They dont let them go out in the world for schooling - they keep them safe at home. I think thats GREAT. Did you know they follow a  prophet to! (dont know his name though - maybe its one of ours? - thatd be WAY COOL!)

SO – I was going to tell you about the DI trip on Saturday. First Pratt says to say what DI is for the folk who don’t live in Utah (I was thinking only Utah folkd read this – if you write in itd be fun if you said where your from and I could put pins in a map to show Pratt whose reading!!) Anyway DIs a big thrift store the LDS church runs. We don’t much like giving money to the LDS cos they don’t like polygamists after the Manifesto and everything but you can get some real DEALS!



You can get the best clothes there. Even though the thingsre not new its WAY BETTER than going to the stores with new stuff. WHY? Cos you can’t find dresses that look so FEMININE any wear else!!! You can get big lace collars with bows, and frills on the bottom, and the fabrics got great flowers and the dresses are LONG!!!!!!


Anyway I got a WAY cute pink dress. It just needs some bows to be PERFECT. AND I came acrost some rolls of ribbon and got them for nearly nothing AND I found a can of pink paint for crafts, so it was a GREAT day!!


Im glad it finished up that way cos it started bad. First SOMEBODY said they were staying home cos they didn’t want KIDS taking care of there kids. OK, the real big kids had to do some work at the farm, but some of the other kids weren’t real little so it was OK to leave the babies with them.


Next, I thought we were leaving at 10:30 so I washed my hair to look cute for the trip and the next thing I know is LiaHonas banging on the door saying everybodys waiting for me! I HAD to finish drying my hair and then put it up to look cute. So by the time I got to the van they said theyd been waiting for half an hour. I said I thought Harmoneed told me 10:30 so it wasn’t MY fault!


It was REAL fun to have all us sisterwives together. It took a whiles to get there but it wasn’t to bad cos Pratt let me sit up front next to him cos I get car sick if I don’t. When we got their he went to the gun store so I went around with Sariah so shed tell me if the dresses I tried looked cute.

When we got home there were some problems. Pratt had to talk to the kids who were tending cos the trailers looked pretty messy! Their were crumbs everywhere and some kids didn’t change diapers all day so it was REAL smelly to. I guess some of the mothers need to teach there kids to tend better.

Oh, before I forget! Pratt put this pic up for me. He said we can learn a lot from the Muslins. These gals are REAL modest and WAy cute to! Their wearing dresses over there pants so they look WAY feminine!

Did you know some Muslins live polygamy to?!
