1. Food Storage! I credit everything I did to this blog (Look at her Tues, Nov. 16th, 2010 post, and if you e-mail her she will send you an e-mail version of her book. This includes the way she rotates, organizes, stores, shops, cooks, and recipes for food storage. She has some really good tips!)
I decided to start with making
a 4month supply which includes 7 breakfasts, 7 dinners, bread for lunch, and 3
desserts. All of these meals I plan on
the worst situation, no food, water, electricity. I
started this the middle of last year and have been s.l.o.w.l.y… making
progress. I finally feel like I am
almost there! Recently we bought a shelf
from “Shelf Reliance” which rotates cans great and holds a TON of cans! I would rate it 8/10. The last bit of stuff I need to work on is
getting a hand wheat grinder, something to cook everything with (I am thinking
of the colman oven/stove things), gathering up water barrels, and buying the
#10 cans and bulk from the LDS canery and Honeyville found here
2. I have been getting into sewing. So far, I have completed 2 skirts, and almost finished with the third. I know pictures of them being worn are better, but this is what I have:
This is a skirt I made from 2 old work Polo shirts for my 2yr old niece. I found the pattern from this blog, who ALWAYS has TONS of cute ideas!
This is a skirt I made for me using this pattern from the same blog, makeit-loveit. I went out and bought basic knit material from hobby lobby and borrowed a sister-in-laws serger to finish it up. The top of the skirt folds down, or can stay up for a "maternity" type skirt. You'll see it in the blog, So cute!
