Hi all!
This feels a bit like the first day of school, when you are forced to introduce yourself to a room of strangers...but here goes nothing.
I am Denise, from the Pasadena area of Los Angeles. I am probably what might best be described as an Art Deco farm girl, in that while I might not always share the more countrified aesthetic of farm girl-hood, I share many of the ideas behind it.
I craft, and sometimes sew, and I taught myself to knit this year.
I live in a tiny bungalow with some very small strips of yard, so I mostly container garden on my porch.
I also do a lot of things with 1920's -1940's events and so forth.
I think thats enough for now....

Welcome Denise!!
The 1940's is abolutely my favorite era for clothing - the one decade when regular size women were in style:D. If you have any leads on patterns from that era be sure to share
And all my kitchen stuff is 30's -40's or looks like it anyway
Hope you enjoy it here

Welcome Nee from Missouri! Glad to have you here with us! I love to knit and have recently dug my sewing machine out after many years to start sewing again.
