In all my history purchasing from Honeyville, I’ve only seen them discount up to 15%, so this is a great time to stock up on food. They carry everything from whole grains to freeze dried foods to smoothie mixes and hot cocoa. And shipping is only $4.49 to anywhere in the continental US.
Pinterest
After numerous people have found my blog through pinterest.com, I’ve finally given in and joined. I had to get on their waiting list, but was up and pinning within just a couple of days. If you’ve never visited, it’s like an online board where you can post images you find and the board links back to where the image came from. Re-pinning of other people’s cool stuff to share on your board is quite common. Check out my pinboards for some preparedness inspiration (and other things I love).
Giveaway Coming
Coming early next week we’ll be having a giveaway that you’re going to enjoy. Stay tuned.
Keep preparing! Angela

Where did you get the mason jar box/totes?
I don’t own any yet. They are a new product being produced by a friend of a friend. Right now they’re running a group buy on the opening ordering for them here: http://www.americanpreppersnetwork.net/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=17573
Do you make your own Colonial costumes? I am trying to hand sew a Period Impressions jacket and am having some difficulty with their lack of in depth instructions and clear illustrations when it comes to joining the shoulder seam. The back part is much bigger than the front part and it doesn’t indicate if it should be gathered and the diagram doesn’t show any gathers on the back.
I do make our clothes although generally by machine because I’m sewing for 6 of us now and the kids keep growing! The jacket shoulder seam should match from front to back. It is a flat seam that sits back from the top of the shoulder. Could you trim from either side of the back piece to make them fit each other? Lots of times the sleeve doesn’t quite fit right into the sleeve hole and that is okay to gather or pleat behind the center top mark. Patterns can be so frustrating! I’ve really liked the JP Ryan patterns. Mill Farm does a good job as well. Rocking Horse Farm patterns have required lots of alterations. Good luck with your jacket!
Dear Foodstorageandsurvival,
This question may be a little off-topic, It is very important to have an emergency food storage program; however, one of the first steps of having food storage is having a place to put it! There are many places and spaces to keep your food stored. To get started, I would suggest you take a good look around your living space to determine what area best fits your requirements for your food storage. You want to have a place that has the correct temperature and location for your dehydrated food.
