The Power of the Dress
I cringed last week at my high school-aged sister-in-law's concert, when I saw her neighbor sitting before a crowd in a skirt, her feet planted several inches apart in a firm, yet revealing, posture. My

Chicken Coop Struggles
I really wanted to raise chickens this summer, and was disheartened when we didn't close on the house until mid-May. I was certain we'd missed the chicks by too long, especially when finances didn't line

Planting time!
Sunflowers, zucchinis, tomatoes, oh my! We threw down some seeds on Memorial Day. It was HOT, nearly 100ºF by 11am, but we forged ahead nonetheless. Husband dug up the sod with a shovel and I broke the

New House! Before and After Photos
Husband and I closed on our first home on May 15. It was a surprisingly smooth process from shopping to signing, and we are incredibly grateful for that. We weren't looking for a house in earnest when

Liberty Needs New Words
Liberty has a language barrier. The words we use to describe our ideal are meaningless and off-putting to those they might help. "Liberty," "Anarchy," "Natural Rights,"

Church of Anarchy?
Husband and I have been attending church again. We are on week three at a nondenominational Christian mission within walking distance of our house (which we close on in eight days!). We are attending so

"You can have anything you want in life, if you will sacrifice everything else for it."
I admit it. I've been watching Grey's Anatomy. In my defense, I was trying to watch ER, because I felt like looking at George Clooney for a few seasons, but I misremembered which show was which. Wait,

Family Record-Keeping
Today I was inspired to begin a family record book, when we move into our new home. I imagine this book would detail daily household life – weather, housekeeping, notable events/news, garden/livestock

The Value of Crafts: Thanks, Mom
"Idle hands are the devil's plaything" As soon as our hands were nimble enough, my mother taught my brother and I how to make things. The first thing I remember her teaching us was crochet and

"Futility of Defense" is a poor anti-gun argument.
When it comes to guns, I'm not pro-2nd Amendment. I'm pro-liberty. The Constitution of the United States has nothing to do with a person's natural rights to property and defense. I'll admit, I'm not doing

Home Buying Home Stretch!
Our official loan approval came in today! We are scheduled to close May 15, and get moving into our new house. Waiting is tough, but it's nice to be all but certain this will work out.

Anarchist Cross Stitch 1.0
Behold! Libertarian Cross Stitch! I just got a hankering to stitch. Last time I tried to cross stitch must have been when I was eight. Amazing what some years and development of patience can do for the

Mending
Husband busted the knee out of his work pants on Friday, so I had to hustle through a mend today. If we bought new every time he ripped his jeans, we'd be so broke. I've already machine darned the crotch

I'm thinking of taking up cross stitch
Plotted a pattern out, but neither of the nearby craft stores sell stitch canvas, so I won't get to start until maybe tomorrow.

Create the community you want to live in
My husband and I are buying a house. It's a three bedroom on half an acre in a small town; population ~1,300. I'll post photos, when we close! For now, here's an artist's rendering. We're pretty excited

Successful piecing!
This was a fun practice project after frustrating myself with half square triangles. I'll try to machine quilt it this week.

That last seam was a bit of a struggle, but this was a fun project for the evening. I'm just doing a few practice blocks while I save to start a full-size blanket project.

Office Policy
"What does anyone need a gun for, anyway?" A quip in an unrelated thread. Who nodded? Who didn't. It's not a discussion. It's a survey. Are you like me? Or are you other. Are you pack? Or prey.

I remember being afraid to touch things
In the store, at museums. I don't remember being told not to touch things. Just the concern that if I did, I'd be reprimanded. Now that I'm older, the worry is smaller. I shoo it away. I remind it that
