Lillian the Domestic Engineer. Blogspot.ca: Baby Booties
http://lillian-thedomesticengineer.blogspot.com/2016/07/baby-booties.html
The Incredible KD Cloth. Jul 27, 2016. These booties are beauties. I had a beautiful piece of wool melton cloth nicely folded and sitting on my sewing table for the good part of a year. I would glance at it every once in awhile and on occasion would give the top surface fold a stroke with my the inside of my hand. It was rich, warm and soft to touch. I knew that over the course of passing time I would find a project that fit the fabric. All I had to do was recognize it when I saw it! SOI would hand stitch.

Frugal Simplicity: Beware of Compton Mart
http://frugalfruits.blogspot.com/2011/03/beware-of-compton-mart.html
Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Beware of Compton Mart. This is a personal story, but there’s a lesson and a warning in this for all of you. I took my daughter to a clothing store in Denver this past Saturday on the 26th and we bought $40.90 worth of merchandise. The store is called Compton Mart. And they’re on east Colfax in Denver. I checked my bank online the next day and it showed that they had taken an extra $30.00 out of my account! I’ll let you know how this turns out. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

In a world gone mad this is the Bat-Shit Capital. From Under Dark Clouds. The Century of DIY. Life as I See It. Monday, 16 February 2015. Alexis and Yanis are screwed. Nd it came to pass that in Europe’s darkest hour came forth two horsemen. From an ancient land. History is littered with similar stories. And, herein lies the problem. Each of these beacons of hope have ultimately disappointed, exposed as flawed men in a near impossible situation (and maybe I’m being kind). They have promised to reinstate ...

Vancouver Island Big Trees. Wisdom Of The Trees. Visiting an increasingly rare 1000 year old Western Red Cedar along West Coast Road. Between Sooke and Port Renfrew. Because they are primeval, because they outlive us, because they are fixed, trees seem to emanate a sense of permanence. And though rooted in earth, they seem to touch the sky. Find out more about the tree shown above, and how to get to it, on my post about the Chin Beach trail cedar. Enjoy the big trees while they last. 8220;We need to prot...

my unhoardED life: He's back, and so is the budget
http://idonthoard.blogspot.com/2015/07/hes-back-and-so-is-budget.html
Organizing My $ $. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. He's back, and so is the budget. The Chief Engineer came back. I won't go into personal details but the couples I know who separated and came back together are quite a bit stronger than they were before. Yes, it was very painful. But I knuckled up, took better care of myself than I have in ages during my nearly three months alone, and I think we came out better for it. We now both have activities at the same time in different cities. Now here's the bad news.
