Poll Results

About a week-and-a-half ago, I published my first polls here at Ma Petite Maison Verte.  The voting was open for one week, and laughingly, the results were … a statistical tie! I can’t… Read More

The Pillow Invasion

I used to be a pillow minimalist. I’m not talking about decorative pillows here (I still have a menagerie of those) but rather, bed pillows. Why have all those bed pillows? I wondered.… Read More

Craft Update

Well, the silent auction I have been crafting for was held last night, and I’m very happy to report that nearly all of my items sold! I was even asked to create additional… Read More
