14 January 2018 - Chenille The Place

Chenille Is French for Caterpillar

Chenille is something I have always attributed to Christmas presents.

Overly priced sweaters you give your mum.

What do you think of when you hear the word 'Chenille'?

A rug, carpet, bedspread, or bathrobe?

The yarn used for Chenille products are fuzzy like a caterpillar

Hence the word Chenille.

This technique was believed to have originated in France in the 18th century.

Due to industrial advancement, chenille became popular again in the 1970's.

If you take a moment to Google "1970's Chenille" it is all over the place.

The style of woven fabric was the thing!

Blankets, rugs, coats, and even hats!

Think back to your gam gam's house and you might even begin to remember that Chenille was all over the living room. Furniture under that plastic was probably chenille.

The best think I found was Chenille Birds!

I can't even right now!

I gotta go and buy some yarn now!

This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion. Jesus would go on to be betraye

"Is There a Doctor in the House?" "Medical emergencies may occur at ay time, especially with young children. Prepare ahead of time by knowing exactly what you will do if it becomes necessary to get medical assistance quickly." Let's just sum up this blog post. AMERICAN HEALTHCARE SUCKS I hate doctors and their offices and their bills. This broken system we have is why "natural" remedies are becoming popular. We choose something other than a professional to treat us because our insurance won't cover services or the doctor might just misdiagnose us and throw meds at us. I'm sure this isn't everyone's experience. It has been mine for years. I had a good doctor once. If you want good medical services it will cost you. Remember when you could just go to a doctor? Now you have to make an appointment months in advance. If you need same day service, go to Urgent Care. If you are experiencing an
