My husband has been unable to find a good job with his degree so we have been living with my mother-in-law for the past 6 months as he continues looking.
We have decided that the best move for us is probably going back to school for a different engineering degree in Aug.
That means that we will be moving for the 5th or so time in a year. (see told you life was hectic. I am probably going to have to get a part time job too :(
Also we have been working on getting in shape so that takes up some of our time.
We know we will make it but its still hard at times when things dont go the way they were planned.
Now for the download ;) (description from amazon)
With the nation's industrial output concentrated on the war effort and a clothes ration in place by June 1940, basic clothes were in short supply in wartime England and high fashion was an unknown commodity. Adults were issued as little as 36 coupons a year to spend on clothes, but a man's suit could cost 22 coupons, a coat 16, and a lady's dress 11. The need to recycle and be inventive with other materials became more and more necessary, and so the government issued a series of leaflets containing advice on how to make fabric and clothing go the extra mile. Reproduced in this intriguing collection, these pamphlets included tips on recycling curtains into dresses and instructions for turning old sheets into underwear. Covering darning, patching, knitting, and more, this is a nostalgic look at the innovative thriftiness of the 1940s.
I found a free download generously offered from this site in PDF format ;)
Make Do and Mend
I personally can not wait to read it and start learning how to stretch what I can do with my budget ;)
Well I hope you all have a great Wednesday and stay cool ;)
(edit after opening the files I realized this is NOT make do and mend but it is, however, the AMERICAN version of it, Make and Mend. Sorry for the confusion but still a good book. )
Love,
Mrs. Bergstrom ;)
