Introducting “Saturday Morning”
Welcome to PeonySTreet!
Dottie Rose: Saturday mornings were always special in our household. We usually cleaned house then, including changing the sheets on the beds. But sometimes I’d let Bebe watch cartoons until lunchtime, or after she’d cleaned her room anyway.
Bebe: I hated cleaning! And still do, but like to have everything in it’s place and neat–what a paradox! So cleaning is a must, but I like organizing tasks much better. All this is sort of off the point! I mostly looked forward to Saturday Mornings
What we’re introducing today is what we’re calling “Saturday Morning” because it meant a time for fun, and sometimes learning. It was a “free day” of the week. Along the years, I always looked forward to Saturdays, because it was a time to sleep in and do whatever you want to do.
Our Saturday Mornings at PeonySTreet – or rather in the Playroom (!) are just for that–having some fun and maybe learning! Saturday Morning links will be found in the sidebar. We will have tutorials for simple projects and maybe some free patterns!
From Hannie Jo, Sarah J., Granny Lil, Dottie Rose, and Bebe in the Playroom: Have fun today!

Appalachian Spring and Biscuit #2
Biscuit #2 "Appalachian Spring"
This is my Biscuit #2. She was inspired by Aaron Copeland's "Appalachian Spring" compositions. Her outfit includes a dress, pull on pants, a denim jacket, a macrame belt, and a sheer purple scarf. She also has a pieced quilt her granny made, that looks like spring! Of course, her dog, Spot, has to come along.
Her story is this: Biscuit's cousin, Peony, asked her to be in Peony's little production of an "Appalachian Spring" ballet recital. Biscuit said if she could wear pants, she'd do it, so Granny put together a pretty outfit for her to wear! There's little french knots on the hem of the pants, and the hems of the sleeves and dress are a vintage gingham on the bias. The denim jacket is lined in a whimsical purple print. And she has hangers to hang up her clothes when not being worn. And she has her own Biscuit bag.
This special Biscuit doll is already taken, but we wanted to show her off! There are more pictures of her in the slideshow above. Happy Spring!!
