About Me

My Photo
Shay
the rural Midwest, United States
Middle-aged Middle-westerner, retired Marine and Detroiter who somehow wound up in a farm village of 900 people. I am a Red Cross volunteer and adrenalin junkie, and currently work as a bioterrorism/public health planner. My hobbies are military history and needlework. I share the bungalow with the Spousal Unit, the bad-tempered and imperious Primary Cat (aka the Drama Queen), Reserve Cat who is by far the nicest and sweetest inhabitant of the bungalow, and Babyface, our German Shepherd. You will find here free patterns from my collection of pre-1955 needlework magazines (sewing, knitting, tatting, crochet, embroidery, etc) as well as old recipes, vintage household hints, poetry, occasional rants, LOLCats, and any pieces of ephemera that tickle my fancy.
