I saved up onion bags all school year and finally crocheted them into scrubbies. I cut each bag into long strips, tied or looped the strips together, and then make them into basic circle shapes. I now have more than I know what to do with. Pictures here.I find that these work really well and don't wear out fast. Unlike a marketed product they ( Read more... )

Well, I am finally out of school. Now the job-hunt begins, that and real life. I got some time to go to the thrift store today. I needed some new tank-tops. I did not find any that suited me, however I found some very nice tupperwear.

I got a pitcher with the button-lid thingy. My parents have had one for years, and I found one that is ( Read more... )

I hate stuff. This statement isn't a nihilist manifesto describing my loathing of all of existence. I am talking about disliking possessions and consumer goods. I am an anti-packrat. I dislike clutter, hoards, piles and boxes in storage. My nemesis is the thing that has no purpose; my fondest dream is to live in a home with a concise ( Read more... )

I have cleared out my LJ again and am making a decision to start posting again. Grad school ate my life for two years but in my third and busiest year I am adamant to reconnect to human beings again. I also would like more writing practice. Facebook, while excellent for arranging weekend plans is dismally low on content so I think LJ still will ( Read more... )
