Aprons have several uses over centuries, but its simplicity has held appeal...
Art In Stone - L. Henneman  There are many kinds of artwork, but little is more permanent than art in stone, because a art in stone is some of the most impressive and durable craft that one can make. Buying art in stone for your loved one will tell them about the undyingness of your love, but will avoid the shimmery, overly glitzy touches of other long lasting...

Book Cases - S. Quiroz  Once again, I am up against the book cases dilemma. Do I buy or build or leave the thousands of books in boxes? You see, I am moving again. Each time I move—with the hopes that the new residence will provide some stasis, some sanity, some degree of permanency—I find within a few weeks of starting to unpack that the landlord or roommate is...

Getting a good desktop organizer will give you a place to put everything....
Electrical Books - S. Quiroz  Most of us have little experience with, awareness of, or knowledge about electric books. I know that my Dad, a carpenter and a mason, would attempt to consult one or another of the existing electrical books but even he would instead call his brother, a lineman for the telephone company, when he had to so some wiring or repairs. As a kid...

J.c. Pennys - S. Curtis  J.C. Pennys is a retail giant that has stood the test of time. I remember visiting our local J.C. Pennys when I was a child. This was way back when stores like J.C. Pennys, Kaufmanns and Macy’s were not affiliated with a mall. These stores were originally housed in their very own building. When we would shop at J.C. Pennys, the trip involved...
Pembroke Pines Florida - S. Quiroz  When we hear a name like Pembroke Pines, Florida, we might think most immediately of a sleepy, squeaky with crickets and frogs retirement community.

Picture Framing - L. Kuykendall  There are so many expenses when trying to decorate your home. One of the ways to save money is in picture framing. I was shocked at the prices when I took several prints to a local shop to be framed. I had found the prints at the arts and crafts fair and thought they would go well in our living room. The prints were reasonably priced, but...
Room Divider Screens - L. Henneman  I live in a huge warehouse in Oakland, California. I bought it just a year ago with a whole group of people. Artists, craftspeople, a few wanderers and activists, a motley and spirited crew with a passion for everything, and the ability to agree on nothing. We couldn't even agree on layout for the warehouse. When we bought it, it was one wide...
