Because Revolution Starts at Home

The new DIY housewifery includes digging dirt, tending vegetables, dumpster diving, punk sewing projects, household fix-its, salvage construction, cooking something delicious and nutritious almost every night and raising up little ruffians who frequently overtake the entire caper.

Apron Stringz is a blog written by one woman trying to do it all, and regularly settling for good enough.

When, What, Why, How

It’s been awhile. I am well and happy, my family is all good, we are settled firmly back home in Cordova and beginning spring work on our tiny yard-sized homestead.
