For Updates: Pinterest! Facebook! Twitter!
September 17, 2011
I never was the kind of thoughtful blogger that this medium really deserves. These days, other media seem more suited to my mercurial (or is that slapdash?) nature. Sooooo … find updates on the Timbrel and Dance Facebook page. See my Polyvore sets as they post automatically to my kirsijóna blog. Then, of course , I have the Offbeat Modest Dress page on Facebook. And an Apron Wearers International Facebook page. Sometimes I’m in the mood for Twitter. But the MOST fun of all is had on Pinterest, which is blessedly all-visual, all the time. Godspeed!

The Uniform Project: Joining Up
October 26, 2009
Sheena Matheiken has come up with a great way to raise money for Akansha while demonstrating the brilliance and sustainability of dressing in a uniform. The Uniform Project. Fantastic.
I am sorely tempted to imitate this project. My tentative ‘uniform’ … wearing this Wavy Chinese vest/top in Indian cotton from annyschoo with various combinations of skirts/shirts … I wonder if I could do this???
UPDATE*** I AM doing it. I bought a couple of them and have been wearing this vest for a couple of weeks. Love it: fewer choices makes for fewer headaches and more room in the closet!

Ponder the truth of Christian marriage: man and wife are one flesh! Does it not follow that they must share all their possessions? And yet you two haggle over this property! And why? Because of words! St. Macarius of Optina (+1860) — click the text for more quotations from Orthodox Christian authors and the Holy Fathers …
