Natural Fabrics Are Still With Us

"Once upon a time when a woman went shopping, she was sure to come home with clothing and household furnishings made of cotton, linen, silk, or wool."

Today's post is about Man Made fabrics vs Natural Fabrics.

Today you might even see terms like "organic" fabric.

Organic fabrics are made from cotton, bamboo, hemp, or other sustainable textiles.
These clothes might even be called "Vegan" if they are contain no animal products like feathers, wools, fur, or silk.
Vegan fabrics can be synthetic so it isn't always Organic.

I seriously do not know how we as a collective society got to this point.
We are choosing what type of clothing to wear based on how the source was treated.

This is one of the worst cases of our privilege.
How much brain power do some people waste on this?

It is so annoying that I don't even want to write about it.

Our Almanac goes into a lot of detail about these different things.

I. CAN'T. EVEN.

Maybe I would give a darn if I had a medical condition that I needed to only wear natural clothing.

I mean they seriously made paper out of elephant poop.

If you do not believe me here is the link!

My favorite part of this entire website is that they are promoting it as good for the earth but I'm sure that with delivery, the packaging and fuel used to get it to you isn't made of poop.

Dear God,
You can shop for products by what animal poop it is made of.

These sheep are not standing around their own wool fabric here.

This sheep has seen it all.

Humans straight up made something out his poop and is mad he didn't think of the idea first.

Stuffed Lamb Cushion for Easter "Lamb is a traditional food for Eater. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus. In John 1:29 Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb of God", who takes away the sin of the world." Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal. In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post. 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...

1 January 2018 - Happy New Year!!

A couple years ago I started collecting interesting antique books. I love seeing a peek into the time period the book was written. Until the end of 2017 I was a stay at home mom. We moved across the country and a new chapter began for our family. This morning for the beginning of the new year I pick up my "Illustrated Almanac for Homemakers" book. This book was written in 1974. Just check out those bellbottoms. Originally sold for $9.95. I bought at Half Price Books for $7.00 I thought this book would be fun to flip through. Just see what homemakers were doing in the 1970's verses what I was doing or not doing. So for 2018 I thought it would be fun to see what I can accomplish this 365 days from this almanac even though I am no longer a full time homemaker. Lets begin in January! Each month has a super cute illustration featuring our homemaker heroine! It's the first day of the first year so let's peek at today's tas...

Lamb is typically thought of as a seasonal meat with celebrations of Passover and Easter where lamb is usually eaten. A spring lamb is usually 3-5 months old so that the meat is very tender. Anything at the store that is labeled "LAMB" is a sheep that is a year or younger. These lambs are sometimes only milk fed. So keep these in mind as we keep talking about how to choose meet from a baby sheep. Meat from a lamb is taken from one month to one year.
