Obscure Skills
I received a very heavy box in the mail the other day, and after thinking to myself “that’s weird… I don’t remember ordering anything”, I saw who had sent it and got really excited. I had totally forgotten that I was asked to contribute to this compendium of obscure and practical skills. I opened up the box, pulled out this giant book and started leafing through it. Once I started, I. Could. Not. Stop. I mean, besides the things I was expecting to see (like patching your clothes, canning, knitting a hat, making kombucha, etc), there was SO MUCH other interesting stuff that I never would have anticipated. Like how to make a tincture, making biodiesel, how to speak chicken, and my favorite: Dismount a Horse in an Emergency.
For people like me, who love the world of DIY, this book is AMAZING. It makes you feel like you can do anything. I will probably never have a horse-emergency, but if I do I’ll be so glad I read this book.
Okay, but for real- I am so proud to be a part of this book. And in case you are wondering- my contribution was a pair of crocheted earrings. I got so excited about everything else- I almost forgot to mention it!
Here it is over on Amazon– check it out!
