When hubby got home this afternoon and saw all that I'd accomplished on the cabin, one of the first things he said was "pioneers wouldn't have been able to afford a glass window like that." Of course, we know that I'd already said that but he didn't, lol. So I fixed it. I turned it into a paned window like I mentioned earlier. I like it better this way...and it's more realistic for a pioneer cabin. They may have had to collect the panes over a period of time but they have them in now. :-)

Wow, Deana, as usual you're just flying along with your project! It looks great, I love the dark stain you've done on it. Like the window, too. I remember in the Little House books that I loved so much as a kid, Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote about the glass window that her father was so proud to finally buy for their cabin after saving for years for it. I think she said they used oiled paper in the window until then. So it seems like a fitting crowning touch for your mini cabin!

That's what I was thinking about, too, Grace. I didn't want to use paper though so I figured they just collected a pane at a time.
I'm loving your cabin! Jerry is supposed to work on mine today while I'm at work--let's hope this happens! I feel he needs to be racing against time before hay cutting season starts! I've also got to finish Joanna's long-neglected house! So much to do.

Thank you, Jody. You are on limited time being married to a farmer, lol. All of the rest of life revolves around planting and harvest. I'm a farmer's daughter, can you tell?
