Little Grey Bungalow
This top, bag and skirt - perfect for a hot, muggy summer's day - is to be made from inexpensive kitchen towel fabric. Two pages of instructions can be downloaded from my Flickr account.
When you look in the mirror you see not just your face but a museum. Although your face, in one sense, is your own, it is composed of a collage of features you have inherited from your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and so on...We carry the past around with us all the time, and not just in our bodies. David W. Anthony
From the August, 1973 issue of Pack O Fun - a summer-specific and rather odd little project. Instructions can be found on my Flickr account and the original magazine on archive.org.
The high school basement was completely flooded. Since the high school, the junior high school, and the elementary school are all in the same building, and the mechanical room and the server are in the basement, that means school may or may not open on time.
We got seven inches of rain in one hour and forty-five minutes this weekend, and about an inch and a half of that, made its way to our finished basement. Note to self: there will be no more keeping yarn in decorative baskets on the floor. EDITED TO ADD: Don't expect much from me this week.
I've been assigned to the Highland Park response and will be not be posting for the next five days or so. EDITED TO ADD: So, I'm being released from the response so I can attend a 3 day FEMA class, and going back on until next Sunday. This one is lasting longer than I anticipated - but then, I've not covered a mass shooting response before. It's...different.
From the February, 1940 issue of Workbasket. The entire issue is available as a free download from the Antique Pattern Library (don't click if you aren't prepared for a stereotypical "cullud chile" lawn ornament pattern).
