April 1st is the birthday of American librarian and storyteller Augusta Braxton Baker (1911-1998). Born to two schoolteachers in Baltimore, Baker was a voracious student who read at a young age and careened through elementary and high school. With advocacy support from Eleanor Roosevelt, Baker was admitted to the Albany Teacher’s College and in 1934 earned a B. A. in Education and a B. S. in Library Science making her the first African American to earn a librarianship degree from the college.

In 1939, Baker went on to work as the children’s librarian at New York Public Library’s Harlem branch, founding the James Weldon Johnson Memorial Collection of Children’s Books to showcase representation of Black children and life in books, and beginning a lifelong career with children’s literature and the New York Public Library (NYPL). In 1953, she was appointed Storytelling Specialist and Assistant Coordinator of Children’s Services, quickly moving into the Coordinator of Children’s Services position years later and becoming the first African American to hold an administrative position with NYPL. Throughout her career, Baker was active with the American Library Association, and chaired committees for the Newbery Medal and Caldecott Medal recognizing excellence in children’s literature.

In celebration of Baker’s birthday, we’re sharing The Golden Lynx and Other Tales, a collection of international folk tales compiled by Baker and illustrated by Austrian artist Johannes Troyer (1902-1969). This is the first edition of the book published in 1960 by J. B. Lippincott and is signed by Baker, who writes in the introduction, “No story has been included in this collection that has not stood the supreme test of the children’s interest and approval”.

The day came for enlistees to leave.

Meera stayed strong when Byron left, but broke down in the front garden. She had discovered she was pregnant the day Byron enlisted, and hadn’t had the heart to tell him.

Martha and Peter married in a quick ceremony with only their parents. He left the day after with Wayne, sending Augusta into a panic. She and Martha comforted each other all night.

James Loewen's "Lies Across America" Should Inspire Local Public History Projects

I’ve been listening to James Loewen‘s Lies Across America: What Our Historic Sites Get Wrong using my public library’s subscription to Hoopla Digital. Listening to it, I wonder how Professor Loewen, who passed in 2021, ever slept at night knowing the scale of injustice society perpetuated and the mountain of indifference society placed in the path of restoration of rights and acknowledgement of…

My Fairy Lady: Sophia & Augusta 1790's mini set

Sophia & Augusta, a mid-1790s dress, hair, and ribbon (hat) overlay for your sims in celebration of me reaching 500 Tumblr followers last week, which is very shocking considering I had around 110 in the middle of January, so thank you :)

There are scarcely any 1790s items in the sims, especially mid to late, so here you go! I also think I'm the first person to make a 1790s hair.

I used mesh pieces from @the-melancholy-maiden @buzzardly28 @javitrulovesims @cringeborg and @vintagesimstress to make all of this.

Augusta 1790s Dress works from about 1794-1799.

Sophia 1790s hair works from about 1791-1798 (and is 14k poly, sorry). Hair isn't really that compatible with other hats aside from this ribbon overlay.

BGC, hair has all natural swatches, ribbon overlay, and dress both have 30 swatches. Everything is found towards the bottom due to my display index (you should see my thumbnail)

With the dress, all the patterns are historically accurate for the time and most are striped as stripes were very popular for the latter half of the 18th century.

Here are some different angles of everything

Now, here are some actual 1790s portraits and fashion plates

We are submitting a bid to remove the vinyl siding covering the entire exterior of this home built in 1891 on the hill in the Summerville district of beautiful Historic Augusta. This would expose the original lap siding & windows. If we get this extensive restoration job, we will then replicate & replace any rotten, missing or damaged wood before preparing, priming & painting the exterior. There is also an option of repairing the damaged chimney & repointing all 3 chimneys. It depends on how far the homeowner wants to take it.

@claudia-augusta replied to your post “Oh, right, I meant to post some more pictures of...”:

Where can I find a good description/drawing/photo/tutorial of how the historical whipstitched gathers are done?

I have a picture of it in my shirt construction blog post (though I'm working on making an updated post about that).

You just do two rows of running stitches, like normal for gathering, so the stitching line is in between them and they're more even. Then you press the seam allowance under on the non gathered part of the seam, overlap it, and stitch it down with one whipstitch through each gather.

I think Burnley and Trowbridge probably have it in a video on their youtube channel, but I'm not completely sure. I know they have a shirt sew along but I never got around to watching it.
