[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 732085, member: 21572"] Oh, just love this thread, Lil! :) I know how to sew, can, and learned how to make true authentic Italian wine from some old neighbours we had a good number of years ago. As for knitting and crocheting, I did a fair bit of it when I was younger, however, haven't sat-down to such in years, though I'm certain I'd be able to pick up on it again in a heartbeat. Another lost art (at least I classify it as a lost art), is old-fashioned cloth diapering. The folding (to fit any sized kid young or old)... the pinning (so the diaper actually stays on - and without sticking the kid)... even diaper care (proper laundering, etc) in my opinion is a lost art. Another of mine is proper care of Fine China. I wonder how many others care for Fine China anymore these days? Lil. I just know you'd love this book. It's called Home Comforts, by Cheryl Mendelson[B]. [/B]A true Arts & Science Guide to keeping home. [/QUOTE]
