    If I could,..............(What business would you start)???

    I would love to learn how to spin yarn. We went to a country type fair this weekend and there were quite a few spinners there for a demo. I watched them for awhile. It was so relaxing watching it. But...a good spinner can cost you $1,000. And to be honest, I really don't need another hobby...

    If I could,..............(What business would you start)???

    I'd own a yarn store so I can pet yarn all day. And crochet all day too and noone would think I'm weird. Oh, and take field trips to alpaca and sheep farms so I can pet them too, and buy more yarn :) yes...i'm addicted.

    PBS "The War" Series

    I've been a WW2 historian for 7 years now with my main focus on women war workers. I was SOOOO excited to see a segment on that last night. I loved it so much that I watched it again at the second showing at 10. You never hear about women war workers. That's a shame.

    Reproduction 50s stoves and fridges

    I want a modern one. I want the energy efficiency. I had a 50's fridge in my last apt and while i LOVED it, it sucked up a lot of electricty and the freezer was tiny and was always freezing over, so i had to thaw it out a few times a year which was a pain. wow....they are expensive though...

    Reproduction 50s stoves and fridges

    Have you seen Rachel Ray's repro 50's stove and fridge on her show? (BTW: I can't stand her, I was just flipping around and saw it) They don't sell them at Sears or Home Depot, etc. Does anyone know where you can buy them? Does anyone know how much they cost? I MUST HAVE!!!

    Show us your hair do's....

    I wish I could dye my hair. I'm just too lazy to worry about the up-keep. I don't have any grays YET (YET being the key word), so I'll just be lazy until I have to dye my hair.

    My new WW2 hobby- making homefront items

    I need another hobby like I need another hole in my head, but as a reenactor, anything WW2 is a disease. I LOVE to crochet. So I've been making some repro scarves. I found the PERFECT USGI mustardy OD 100% wool yarn (didn't photo too well), so I'm very excited about that. I even found a roll...
