I think it's a really cool way to cook.

I think I tried to reply to another post and it ended up being its own separate post. 🤔

I used to full time RV and followed this couple when I did. They had one and did a review of it and really liked it. I couldn't justify the cost at the time and can only imagine what they cost today so I'm excited you got one for free! Anyway, in this video they discuss what you need to do to prevent burning so I hope it helps plus they have videos of the recipes they made.

Hopefully it will help you some in your baking adventures 😊

I love these and I have had a pattern for them for quite some time but have never gotten around to making them. I'm not independently creative in the knitting and crocheting departments and need a pattern. I think I'll make some this weekend. They really are cute.

It's a free pattern for both knit and crochet versions if anyone would like to grab it. https://www.lovecrafts.com/en-us/p/yip-yips-knit-knitting-pattern-by-carissa-browning

Thank you for reminding me about these.

Thank you!

Here's an overview of what it is.

Basically, it's a simple dress made for ease of movement that one wears around the house.  It's easily washable, comfortable, and the only thing stopping it from being PJs is that it's a dress and we don't have to deal with the embarrassing moment when unexpected people arrive at the front door for a visit.  

This would probably be easier than training my geese to attack unscheduled guests.  

It would also solve my issue of filming youtube videos in my housecoat or dirty farm clothes.  

So basically I want to learn all about house dresses, how do I get one, how do I make one, and is there also a version for when I don't want to put on the heat - like a housecoat but fancy looking?  

My grandma wore them all the time. She called them “dusters” because you wore them to dust and clean. If you google “cotton dusters” you can see more pictures as well as different types and where to get them. I’m sure you can probably find a few patterns for them.

And I want to start a permaculture farmstead. Looking at land prices makes you consider selling a kidney or bank robbery. Since bank robbery is illegal if you get Caught I've had to look for cheaper land. Then I found the southwest. $500 an acre all day long. Then I looked at what permaculture has done in these dry almost barren Environments. And iam amazed! The work of Allen Savory, Geoff Lawton and others. So now I ask for your wisdom. Those of you who practice permaculture in dry environments, those of you who have used Allen Savory's methods with results. And just anyone with valuable wisdom that I could possibly benefit from! And any good books to read on dry climate permaculture/regenerative agriculture. Thanks
To clarify I have no experience in a dry climate. I live in Mississippi, it's hot, wet, and humid here. Pictures of the kind of land iam looking at.

Hi, I am currently in Apache County Arizona. Saint Johns to be exact. It’s beautiful, hot but without the humidity and very dry.

Please beware of buying property sight unseen and be aware that you may be an hour (sometimes more) from the nearest store or fire department/emergency services so plan accordingly. I would highly suggest contacting the Apache County and getting more info on the area and requirements for wells and irrigation. Also be sure to do due diligence and be mindful of any HOAs and their restrictions. Some properties only allow for a single family on 30-40ac and some only allow certain animals.

I am from WV and love it here. My only true complaint is cost of food/goods in town. Things are more expensive because the nearest Walmart, etc is a solid hour away. (So is the ER.) I may go back to WV to visit but it won’t be anytime soon.

Best wishes for you on your endeavors.
