I Took Home Ec, I'll Have You Know

Some fool (who I can't link to because his blog is a defunct pile) is maligning my domestic skills. I have mad domestic skillz. I just don't use them a whole lot.

I can sew buttons. I just don't like to sew buttons. Especially when I already "fixed" two of the buttons I have to remove...because I'm not kidding when I tell you that buttons I sew on will never come off. Not without a lot of help from some scissors, a seam ripper, and maybe a knife.

Anywho, my new buttons are on my old coat, and they are shiny and evenly spaced and everything.

And as an aside, a spinster would spin the wool to make the fabric to make the coat. Where do you think the term comes from? From unmarried peasant ladies who had to make their living by spinning.

Oh, and btw...since someone asked...the lady in the banner is from an Old Maid deck of cards. She bears zero physical resemblance to me, thankyouverymuch.
