Here is the poem I mentioned in the video

How To Be Happy

Are you almost disgusted with life, little man?
I'll tell you a wonderful trick
That will bring you contentment, if anything can,
Do something for somebody, quick!Are you awfully tired with play, little girl?
Wearied, discouraged, and sick
I'll tell you the loveliest game in the world,
Do something for somebody, quick!
Though it rains, like the rain of the flood, little man,
And the clouds are forbidding and thick,
You can make the sun shine on your soul, little man,
Do something for somebody, quick!
Though the stars are like brass overhead, little girl,
And the walks like a well-heated brick,
And our earthy affairs in a terrible whirl,
Do something for somebody, quick!

Feel Prepared, Clutter is a Magnet, "Pioneer Ribbons" Ep.2 (Allison on the Oregon Trail)

Here is a fancy dress I recently finished for one of my granddaughters.

The dress is lined with a soft cotton lawn, and all the materials and trims came from Walmart. The fabric is Waverly 100% cotton with a linen-like weave. The rosebud accent at the collar is also from Walmart.  Total cost for 3 yards, the lining, and the sleeve elastic, lace trims: $16.00. 

Here it is with the underskirt trimmed in wide eyelet lace, which I made to wear with it:

Prints of paintings on the walls behind me are:

Pride of Dijon by William John Hennessy

The Recital by Sandra Kuck 

This is a commercial picture I got at Target way back in the early 1980's.  I have never figured out the artists name so I am putting it here to see if any of you know who this is or how to find this painting or others by the artist. It is depicted in the first photo at the top of this post, behind the group of flowers.

Here is the name up close:
