It's called a she-shed.

MAFury
Kathy I had forgot about that. For me it was the 'sewing room' after three kids left home and could claime one for me.

Kathy
MAFurySame here. I love to sew, but anymore trying to thread the darn needle is getting to be a booger bear....lol...even with my inspector gadget eyes.

MAFury
Kathy Haven't sew since I retired in 2007. Good grief! I had not realized it was so long ago. Started spending 4 1/2 months of the year helping my daughter with lambing season then sold my house. I don't even know where my sewing machine is. Hopefully the girls will come this summer and we will... View More

MAFuryI swear they're making the holes smaller...lol. I remember back when I was pregnant with my one and only and my hubby at the time, decided I needed a sewing machine when what I really wanted was a rocking chair. I was so pissed at the time. I took sewing in HS and did very well. Then I didn... View More

Kathy Yes, Home EC! Like that dress. Looks very comfortable. Never that good two try two patterns together. I did enjoy sewing for my family. Maybe if I could afforded a good machine I could have tried harder. Fit is why Iiked using patterns. Easy to adjust. To bad we never got stationed in... View More

Kathy
MAFuryI used 2 different patterns because I wanted a full neck line on top and the tiers on the bottom. I was never one for low necklines. Ican't say as if I used any top of the line machines. Mostly Sears portable ones. I would actually find them at thrift stores, believe it or not. A friend of mi... View More

KathyNever could keep the tension right on cheaper machines. For a few years I used my hubby's grandmother, old Singer in a Cabinet. The belt on it finally wore out and it being so old I could not find a replacement. It may still be in the garage at my old house. My granddaughter bought my pl... View More

Kathy
MAFuryToo bad you don't live closer because I would buy any that I found at thrift stores that were in good shape and seems I was always giving them away because they were so inexpensive anyway. I've had an extra one here for years. I tried to give it to my Sister, but she said they just piss her o... View More

Kathy Thank you for the thought to gift. I like giving friends, neighbors things. Some not to expensive but usually handy gadgets. Everyone in my family and a couple neighbors get jars of All Good Goop. That salve is amazing. Even the neighbor's dog got some last summer when she had a sores on... View More

Kathy
MAFuryCan't say as if I ever heard of that before. Is it like the Black Salve from back in the day?

MAFury
Kathy Not sure. Never heard of Black Salve. It is all natural. Saw it on THRIVE one day when I was putting in an order, figured why not give it a try. I have been trying to move away from off the shelve chemical filled stuff. With great grandkids cuts and scratch's thought it would be good to ... View More

Kathy
MAFuryhmmm...interesting. I'll have to look it up. Black Salve was used back in the day to draw out infections and stuff. Worked on drawing out like slivers as well. It looked like tar, but I don't know what it was made of.

MAFury
Kathy Grandma had a salve that did that but it wasn't called Black salve. That was down south not west coast. Grandma was born and raised in a WV holler.

Kathy
MAFuryMy Mom used it and called it that and back then we lived in NY. Most of my family is still in NY.

Kathy I was six when we my dad took us to McChord Field in Tacoma WA. We visited once when we headed to Spain. Cousins are distant memories. One sister has passed and the other hasn't spoke to me in years. Called drunk one night at 2 AM. I had to get up for work at 6:00. With Fibromyalgia dist... View More

Kathy
MAFuryBless your heart having to deal with Fibromyalgia. I know a couple folks who suffer from that. Thanks for sharing about your family. Too bad your Sis didn't find Bill W. 3, including myself, did years ago and I for one am very grateful.
