Old-Style Life Skills by Motherhouse

I love what this organization is all about!

If you can... you really should check this out. I've long thought it was such a shame that "craft-ey" or "old-style life" skills such as knitting, sewing and the like are only a novelty these days by a very few people. And the same goes for making sourdough bread from scratch, canning foods, cheese making... the list goes on. So you can imagine how much I jumped for joy when I came across this brochure.

Unfortunately, (and only from my distance perspective) the classes are held in Cornwall, Connecticut, which is a wee bit far from NYC (about 2.5 hours). If you are close or you can- I highly suggest you check it out.
