It's totally a yellow house. I don't even LIKE yellow and I looked at it and thought "that house should be yellow." Like a gorgeous buttery pale yellow. Cheery!

gross.

What does "managing" a crying infant have to do with this house? Confusing.

Enjoy the open basement space though, makes me want to rollerskate!

at this very moment ~ compassion & love in times of hardship, rain drip-dropping outside on the garden leaves, the kitten in from the rain curled up on the 1940's quilt made by grandma, tiny sleeping breaths from my love, a life-opening book, and a steaming mug of spicy cocoa.

i think i like geodes best without anything being stuck in them.

Fire hazard ahoy.

@art - as someone who spent 10 years putting myself through college (stopping to work, working two jobs -at $5/hr, mind you-, etc) and getting myself from parents who made $5000 a year growing up to much more than that as an adult - I could not have done it without investing in myself via credit cards. No other loans were available to me, and I don't regret it for a second. Not everyone has the luxury of not needing a hand up, and unfortunately there aren't a lot of other resources.

I never buy new, the only big ticket things I buy are items that go toward my work and gaining more work - a laptop, a camera. The idea that people who are in debt now did not grow up with a "good work ethic" is classist and absurd.

I'm sorry, but wow. Really? Composting awareness campaigns maybe need to be a part of all the slow food localvore trends happening now. That's crazy.

I use a 5 gallon bucket with a lid in the kitchen and then alternate between the yard compost and the green bin. Each week I have maybe a small grocery bag of trash, if that.

Prince Edward Island is amazing with cutting out trash -- "Prince Edward Island has a three-tier waste management system called Waste Watch, operated by the Island Waste Management Corporation, a Crown Corporation. The program is mandatory and has reduced the amount of waste on the island by 64%.[21] Consequently, the province is a national leader in waste diversion and recycling." Totally inspiring and worth looking into.

Every time I see this poster, I just get angry at a government telling it's citizens to keep calm and carry on whilst being bombed. Maybe I should make a "Rise Up and Overthrow" poster. Or just re-do these:

Also. Googling "Keep Calm and Carry On" comes up with 238472346238723 places to buy this thing. No one googles anymore?

I'm totally insane about them.

I have 3 stacked on a closet shelf storing linens. In the bedroom I have one for belts, one for hats, one for headbands, and 2 for sweaters. In the sewing room: 6 for fabric, and 2 trunks for fabric/bits&trims.
