Yet another moderately insane mildly neurotic stay-at-home blogger plugging self sufficiency and waiting for the Zombie Apocalypse. Friday, 28 March 2014. Stephanie's Block - The Burgundy Mermaid. Well, this one was, without a doubt, the most complex and fiddly one I have done for a long time, but I do like the final result. Let me introduce you to the Burgundy Mermaid. My vision for this one was a mermaid pulling at a fisherman's net, so the first thing I did was sketch it out. Finally, the hair was add...

UrbanFrog: May 2014

Yet another moderately insane mildly neurotic stay-at-home blogger plugging self sufficiency and waiting for the Zombie Apocalypse. Saturday, 17 May 2014. It is FER-EEZING today! It is cold enough to see your breath INSIDE the house! 9am, and there is still a solid sheet of ice across the birdbath! We normally have to be deep, deep into winter to get that! Wednesday, 14 May 2014. Cooking, preserving, and gardening are my refuge when depression hits. Since moving into the flat five years ago and havin...

Yet another moderately insane mildly neurotic stay-at-home blogger plugging self sufficiency and waiting for the Zombie Apocalypse. Tuesday, 25 February 2014. OK, Where's The Reset Button! Well, life has a way of throwing things at one, doesn't it. I have managed to get a second hand one, but I still have to pay for it. Fortunately I still have my little hand washing thingy, and it is only a 20 minute walk to the Laundromat for the big things (I don't own a car). Image from Housework Under Capitalism.

Yet another moderately insane mildly neurotic stay-at-home blogger plugging self sufficiency and waiting for the Zombie Apocalypse. Tuesday, 17 December 2013. Caring For Vintage Laces. The response to the lace posts has been wonderful, with lots of lovely feedback and questions, mostly by email. One of the questions I have been asked a lot over the years in my dealing with vintage and antique clothes, costuming, laces, etc., is: how do you wash them? Where I usually use the pure soap method with vintage ...

Yet another moderately insane mildly neurotic stay-at-home blogger plugging self sufficiency and waiting for the Zombie Apocalypse. Monday, 24 November 2014. Finally, long awaited, Arlene's blocks for both the Garden and Flowers DYOB and Garden and Flowers Traditional are finished. For Arlene's DYOB block - because Arlene is an Aussie, I chose a selection of flowers from Jenny Bradford's. Little Book of Wildflowers in Silk Ribbon. All the flowers in the book are Australian Wildflowers. The first seam I d...

Yet another moderately insane mildly neurotic stay-at-home blogger plugging self sufficiency and waiting for the Zombie Apocalypse. Friday, 10 January 2014. Fradpoles, and Preserving the Harvest (But Not Preserving the Fradpoles! I am pushing along on my first block for the CQJP2014 challenge, but am still a ways away from finishing. In the meantime I am keeping up with the garden, and busy preserving the excess. In the kitchen, the first jar of dill pickles has been put up - yum! Excess green beans (whi...

Yet another moderately insane mildly neurotic stay-at-home blogger plugging self sufficiency and waiting for the Zombie Apocalypse. Sunday, 31 August 2014. Roses Are Red Violets Are. Ummm. Rose Coloured. Well, it has been pretty much a full month since I last posted. Mostly because it has been hurringly cold! That means most days are spent wrapped up in several afghans, with a warm hat, fuzzy scarf, and fingerless gloves, hugging a hot water bottle. Very hard to do anything craft-y like that! Buy 1 tin b...
