Because Help Can't Wait
About Me
- Shay
- the rural Midwest, United States
- Middle-aged Middle-westerner, retired Marine and Detroiter who somehow wound up in a farm village of 900 people. My hobbies are military history and needlework. I share the bungalow with the Spousal Unit, the bad-tempered and imperious Primary Cat (aka the Drama Queen), Reserve Cat who is by far the nicest and sweetest inhabitant of the bungalow, Funnyface, our ginormous two-year-old alpha male German Shepherd and Babyface, our year-old German Shepherd puppy. You will find here free patterns from my collection of pre-1955 needlework magazines (sewing, knitting, tatting, crochet, embroidery, etc) as well as old recipes, vintage household hints, poetry, occasional rants, LOLCats, and any pieces of ephemera that tickle my fancy.

LOL I'd rather be lumpy then wear one of those
My grandmother always wore a boned corset. No way, Man. LOL
She does have an admirable figure though...
And it closes in the front! What an innovation!
Gorgeous ad.
