However, in the area of frugality, I do a lot of thrift store shopping (ironically especially for pants - way cheaper), as well as give away as much unused stuff as possible via Goodwill or Craigslist - no point in throwing things out if there is still use to be had. But I have much more growing to do. =)Jessie Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10294729993569858013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6180355242417922484.post-56785770140259129592011-01-11T20:35:00.135-08:002011-01-11T20:35:00.135-08:00Baby steps, I suppose :)Baby steps, I suppose :)The Professor's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729608417909675769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6180355242417922484.post-86086600715199730772011-01-11T20:00:33.857-08:002011-01-11T20:00:33.857-08:00I'm very new to mending and barely now how to ...I'm very new to mending and barely now how to sew - so this is a new adventure for me!

I don't have a lot of patience for making entire garments but I do it as a gift for my mom. I try to make my own products (laundry soap, cleaning products) recycle items, repurpose items, knit and crochet and grow a small garden. I'd like to do more and will do more as I am able :-)Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.com
