Living, Selling, Blogging
If you haven’t visited ginghamcountry.com/living recently, you missed my lovely cry-baby story about losing my Top Rated Seller Status on Ebay.
The ugly truth is here –> Cry-baby Story here: Top Rated Seller Status “I am NOT”
About 5 years ago I was seriously ill and diagnosed with COPD
==>> Tarzan Yell! in Jane’s ear <<==
Of course, I would never say that aloud. That my hubby may need directions.
But Oh my gosh, when I first watched that Geico
That commercial is so My Life. Well I guess it’s true for a few other wives, or they would never have created the ad. [Read more…]
I need a small Carpet Cleaning Machine. It must be compact and a light-weight that even I can lift it.
My oxygen tube works just fine to keep me walking around, but start lifting weight….that’s a no-no.
Hubby cleans my sewing room once a month (hey, I take what I can get) and that is no easy task.
Because I have COPD and get too winded from sniffing fabric-dust that floats in the air and dog fur every time our Spaniel waddles by, cleaning is a constant chore.
==> I’m determined to do it myself. <== [Read more…]
Recently I was searching for a sewing pattern that I had used for years. It was a Peasant Top Pattern that I loved.
You know, those loose fitting tops with elastic around the neck and sleeve hem. So comfortable you could sleep in them.
I probably made 20 tops from that old pattern over the last 30 years.
It was an older design and I liked the way it was made. Very simple. Four pieces. I could whip a blouse together in an half hour.

When I saw the first commercial, I knew I had to have this skillet. I was excited to try the Organic green Skillet.
I love Teflon and all the new non-stick coating on everything from my kitchen pots to my clothes iron.
But– with hubby using all my pots and pans and skillets 
So when I purchased the little green skillet to write a review, I hoped this would be the perfect pan for hubby too. If it doesn’t stick– No need for his scraping tools.
I wanted some alone-time with this pretty non-stick glaze before hubby brought his tools to the job. I’m telling you, that man loves wire scrapers and long handled metal spatulas. He really does and there is no reasoning him out of it.
If a skillet survives the cooking, it often dies during the clean-up
