I hope you'll come back again! <br /><br />Yes, we do love our house on the hill tremendously. <br /><br />I think the nursing corners on the bed are definitely a lost art. All the more reason I need to remember to keep teaching my grand-girls!<br /><br />- Dori -Dori at The Red Feedsackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09600940689338767875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323174088524237837.post-51500636201951211942015-06-24T13:03:14.511-05:002015-06-24T13:03:14.511-05:00Yes.... you are absolutely right!

I know there are some amazing ones on the market, but mine just won't die so I never can justify buying a new fancy one! :-) What I have is a Rowenta, which I've heard are very good irons, but I really don't know. Maybe that's why it has lasted so long! :-)<br /><br />DoriDori at The Red Feedsackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09600940689338767875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323174088524237837.post-71751736061054764972015-06-24T13:01:09.468-05:002015-06-24T13:01:09.468-05:00Angela,

I know you have been here for awhile but I just never took the time to follow-up on your blog. I am so happy that I did!! I have been the MJF Farm Sister of the Year and you can find me on the Chatroom as Red Tractor Girl. I so resonated with your love of all things MJF as I feel the exact same way!! Total inspiration and life changing!! Your House on the Hill is simply BEAUTIFUL. What a view and what a lovely farm you and your hubby have built. Congratulations on now having all the building done and able to just enjoy every inch. I excitedly read all of you blog posts so see how the house project went from dream to reality. You two have done a job extraordinaire!! Oh my, no detail was left out. <br /><br />As to the nursing corners on the bed?? I remember well my learning days in nursing school. It is a habit I have never forgotten or stopped doing either. I wonder if it is a dying art form??

I've never been a fan of ironing, but I think it's because our iron is not very good. Do you have one you could recommend?<br />I think I'll have to check out Target for those sheets! We prefer 100% cotton too, and they are sometimes hard to find.daisy ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06129079277073067462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323174088524237837.post-1968907329446423762015-06-20T18:01:52.889-05:002015-06-20T18:01:52.889-05:00Thanks, Dori!Thanks, Dori!Gumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323174088524237837.post-8442787494422053412015-06-20T14:24:00.157-05:002015-06-20T14:24:00.157-05:00Those corners remind me of nursing school!

Your post brought back a memory for me- i remember when my mom showed me how to make the "envelope" with the bottom of the sheet on the bed for a nice, clean look.......back then a properly made bed was something every little girl should know how to do! Every morning i never left my room without spreading up the bed and placing the pillows just right so it looked tidy and finished. Boy, with two grown sons and a daughter i think i failed on that routine more than I succeeded.........and even now it bothers me to see a room without the bed made!! Love the simplicity of the room, I would be one happy guest sleeping on those sheets!!Ironstone and Pinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04786696719222689306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323174088524237837.post-67758248976057127052015-06-19T22:23:47.524-05:002015-06-19T22:23:47.524-05:00I really loved this post.

I pull and smooth them as I hang them and they come back in from the line very smooth indeed. Sometimes it's still nice to press the pillow cases.<br /><br />I'm curious where you found such a pretty sheet set? Will you share?<br /><br />Gumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323174088524237837.post-63183789146566541862015-06-19T19:57:55.839-05:002015-06-19T19:57:55.839-05:00Kathy,

And it wasn't until I wrote this post that I realized how desperately I need my clothesline. But I'm not saying anything to my husband until next spring... we are working on landscaping this summer and fall.
