Monsanto Doesn't Exist

Those 5 cent packets are SO PRETTY!!!!!! Then, there's the seeds I save: from my own garden, as well as some produce from the store.

Yes, intervention! BUT -- yes, germination is still good after several years and I do have saves as you mention. Hey, I wanted a few pimento peppers but not a $3 packet. Bought a pepper at store, 40 cents...dried seeds. We will have something from that.

Couple years I couldn't get to plant. I'll need an acre or more to plant this stuff! Have the land just need to be able to get it done. I could grow 5 acres of pumpkins...lotta seed. Corn, tobacco, millet, wheat... then veggies for me and animals. I've only had the type of "collector" craze with fabrics when sewing.

OK...could sew 40 hrs a wk for 3 months and not use it all.

Holy Cow! That's a lot of fabric!

Yeah -- first my horde, them add moms.....

Bumper sticker says: Whoever dies with the most fabric wins!

To be honest, I used to sew a LOT!! For several people and the kids dolls, too. Most fabrics were bought at discount. Except prom dress, wedding parties, etc. When I worked, needed a lot of suits & such. Remember years back that was the "dress code". Now, I'm thinking I have some really nice, heavy flannel I need to find...before winter hits hard.

Patterns go on sale regularly. Watch for them. They are short sales, 1 - 3 days. One brand at a time will be marked down to $0.99 or $1.99. Thrift stores are excellent source also. Just stay away from the trendy patterns that are dated.

Did you ever make a purse out of an old pair of jeans? Those were all the rage for awhile, lol.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

LOL, things I'd rather forget! My sister made one!

Amen, Sistah!

I'm sorry, that guy is less masculine than me. Lol so not attractive with the hip out like that

Um... you guys cracked me up. Back to the jean purse: I've been kicking an idea around for a shopping bag made out of jeans. I would call it a "Jeany Bag". To go along with it, I would also repurpose dress shirts into shopping bags: maintain the detailing of the front of the shirt, including the placket, pocket, neckline and buttons. Of course, these would be called "Stuffed shirts".

 

[frustratedearthmother]

He wouldnt be wearing that shirt for long if he was here. Just sayin......

That's great, FJ!
