Bailey's Blog and My First 7's List

By -
I recently discovered the ruby of all blogs, Big House in the Little Woods.  And after reading several posts, I was inspired to post something wedding-ish.
 So I shall share my list with y'all.

2. Crocheting

6. Regency dancing

7. Cooking (from The Secret Chef, from-scratch recipes, etc. NOT Kraft mac-n-cheese boxes)
