Well it's official. I'm closing this blog. I'm not going to take it down, but I won't be posting in it again in the foreseeable future. I love crafting and I love Etsy and I still visit the site weekly to check out what's new and window shop, but I simply don't have time to keep this part of my life going any longer. I've finished my first book, I'm getting close to the end of my second. My kids are getting big and requiring more and more of my time. I still do crafts now and again, but they are for me or gifts, and I'm okay with that. So thank you all for following me and for making this part of my life a good one. If you'd like to see what I'm doing now you can check out my writing blog The Write Way To Type. Good luck and have a great day! :)

Old King Cole

I can't believe I had this post ready last Monday, and I forgot to post it! XD Well here it is a week late. :)

Next on our nursery rhyme tour is another old favorite of mine: Old King Cole. And while most cartoons of my youth showed the King smoking a pipe, most likely the pipe in question was actually a musical instrument. Enjoy!

Old King Cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he;
He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl
And he called for his fiddlers three.
