Things I didn't know that now I know that maybe everybody else knows

The 21st century flea market is a good place to go to stock up on fancy cutlery, china dishes, and pyrex ovenware from the 60s.  Susannah inaugurated me yesterday, and I saw so many items that my mom has (or has had) in her kitchen.  I only picked up one place setting of nice silverware from 1947, and am now planning on replacing my very-not-special dishes with china dishes.  May as well make good use of not having a dishwasher.

When topstitching, it's really important to use a longer stitch length in order to prevent the edges of your fabric from getting all curly.  This is something that will drastically improve my sewing, and something that would have been really useful to know a long time ago. 

There is a Saint Bernard breeder on Lasqueti Island.  (Those dogs must scare the living crap out of Lasqueti's feral sheep population.)
