    Quality of Water and skin?

    I jumped when I read your thread. The exact same thing happened to me when I moved to Germany! I had tons of tiny bumps on my forehead. They weren't red or anything but it still sucked. I remember the feeling. It actually started JUST before we left to go to Germany; I remember because my...

    Oil Cleansing Method

    I totally agree about the water intake part. If I don't drink TONS of water, nothing will make my skin look nice.

    Show us your vintage patterns!

    [/URL][/IMG] I bought these at an estate/garage sale. I paid 2$ for all of them! I was actually looking for sewing patterns. They had a sewing machine but no patterns. I wanted to ask if there were any sewing patterns the lady might consider selling but (from my understanding) she was...

    Vintage Knitting!

    Knitting and Crocheting FAQ I am working on this fabulous snood pattern. I am not sure what size yarn or hook to use. It seems every pattern has a different system and my hooks and yarn balls all have different numbers and letters all over them. I am currently using a 2.5mm hook with some...

    I went to an Estate sale this saturday! I never thought I'd find one in my area. Well it was more like a big garage sale actually. I picked up a stack of vintage knitting and crocheting magazines from the 30's all the way to the 50's (I believe.) Most of them are for baby but a few are for...

    Crochet anyone?

    Inky - Check out this doozie! I'm trying to get it started but the starting chain is shorter than the indicated lenght (in inches.) Any advice?

    Crochet anyone?

    Thanks for posting this link. I was able to make the snood! It looks good, but it's doesn't fit. I'm not sure if I did anything wrong, or if my hair is too long. I'm pretty heart broken about it; I was so excited. Now that I understand the general pattern, I'll try to alter it.

    Estate sale?

    Oooo that is horrible. I know from experience; I won't go into details. Bargains/bargaining can bring out the worst in people. I love Boxing Day but sometimes I feel like I should be wearing hockey pads. I remember a big sale once, it was for T-Fal; people were actually trampled...

    Yes, but I can stop whenever I feel like it - I swear!:p . Nice hats by the way. Have you made hats before, are they difficult? I'm thinking of trying my hand at it. I would have to buy a pattern though...;)

    Estate sale?

    Thank you so much everyone! That would be wierd - going through someone's house. I think it would take me a long time to get used to the idea that everything is up for grabs. I would feel like a looter. Thank you for the links. I haven't found anything in my area yet but I am keeping my...

    Ideal bodies for the eras

    I'm almost the same! 33-26-34. I've always wanted to be curvy though. I had a baby six months ago and was hoping my hips would get a little wider but nothing has changed! I was really looking forward to filling some pencil skirts. I've thought of buying those padded shapers but never went...

    These look fantastic! I actually tried to make a snood from the same pattern but I had difficulty reading the pattern. I'm just a newbie at crochet. How long have you been doing crochet?

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    I was just wondering what everyone uses to make copies of their patterns. I use trace-a-pattern which I like because it's sheer and durable but it's getting expensive since I copy all of my patterns. What else is there?

    Here are the best patterns I've picked up in Cambridge. These don't include the box. They each sold for 5 or 6 CAD.

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    It breaks my heart that there should be a thread about this. In a day and age where people can hardly be bothered to style their hair, let alone put some thought into their outfits...You'd think they would appreciate seeing someone nicely put together.
