The value of sewing for the home

I’m working on setting up a sewing course that will be available at minimal cost to anyone over 16 who wants to learn to sew. Just the basics: use of a machine, make a few simple things, and learn to follow simple instructions. The goal is to get the knowledge and confidence to start sewing for...

Double Entendre

Title: Double Entendre? I loved Wilford Brimley. He was an American Actor, had a big bushy mustache and a slow, southern drawl. When he spoke, we listened.   In one movie, he said ‘Madame, In order to get the attention of an ass, one must first smack it firmly between the eyes’. He was playing the part...

Beat the heat on a budget

 Over the last 12 years, I've written about summer heat more than a few times.   I've researched a lot and there is no shortage of information on how to keep cool if you can buy air conditioners, install solar film or add blackout lining to your drapery. But if you are on a low budget, these...

The coffee table conundrum

. I like Apartment Therapy -- it's a site devoted to decorating rental spaces. None of the "give me $10,000.00 and I'll remake your closet" articles. Typically just good, down to earth ideas at reasonable costs.  But the other day the headline was something like, 'The one thing you can do without in your living room'....

Outdoor Fabric News

Well, I decided to sort of recycle a few columns about outdoor cushion fabric. There are some new things on the market, and some old things made better so here is the update. The biggest one, for me, is the UV sprays. The old ones really didn't work at all. The newer ones seem to be...

Phoenixing 24% of us aged 65 to 70 are still working, Forty percent of this group work part-time and forty percent of workers over 65 are self-employed. (Canadian Center for Policy Alternatives). That's a fair number of us. There comes a point in many lives where the idea of slowing down becomes irresistible. It happened to...

column 300 on the treadmill

Column number 300.

This is the 300'th Design Dilemma column. Unbelievable, huh? I started, way back when, as a way to get exposure for my business. It was dated August 29, 2008. Over time, it's changed a bit from short, quick design issues and fixes to a more all-inclusive column about home life and, hopefully, some hints to make...

Cushion season starts now!

Summer Cushion Season Starts Now.  The best thing about summer is that it comes every year. No matter what happens we know it will show up. Sometimes late, sometimes ineffectively, sometimes with too much rain. But it always comes.   And one of the things that also happens every year is that, if you own summer outdoor...

Stop Rings and Grommets From Catching on an Expansion Rod

Every been so frustrated at the curtains snagging on the expansion joins that you just wanted to spit?

Here is the solution. I don’t remember where I learned this, if anyone knows where it came from, please let me know and I’ll give due credit. I’ve been using this fix for several years.
