Pilgrims and Pioneers: White Wednesday

Welcome To Pilgrims and Pioneers!

After many years of researching my family geneaology I have been lucky enough to discover actual information about my relatives that lived in the Pilgrim Era and the Pioneer Era- while many people also have realtives from those eras- many do not know their names or where they lived- actually seeing the proof in print makes you much more aware of who they really were.
After discovering these relatives it of course made me curious to learn more about the eras that they lived in and what their lives were like as, the history I learned in grade school had long since been forgotten.
I decided to start this blog for others who are also interested in these eras.
Some of the information here will be actual facts about my realtives and some will be information about the eras in general that I have found on the web.
I hope you will enjoy traveling back in time with me!

White Wednesday

I am so proud of myself! I got something done for White Wednesday!
It is different than I usually do but, I like it!
I traced around a widemouth jar lid for the round base and used a heart cookie cutter for the heart shape. The base is muslin and the heart a cream star print. After I added the lace I gave the entire pinkeep a coffee bath and then it was baked. Pioneer women did have some treasured fancy things!!
