joye68 As a whole, this has become the reality in the news. Of course, bad news always travels faster than good... and more often. There are good people. I didn't mean for it to sound like there weren't. I was focused mainly on the "angry" people. My grandmother...

joye68 As far as the hostility goes, let the people have their anger and help themselves to it. I am one of those people affected by unemployment, but I will pull myself up by my own boot straps. I will not go hungry or without clothing. I am not so proud that I feel...

to do for others

toyota4k @toyota4k (1208) • Philippines 6 Feb 11

I have been hard working but my accomplishments are not really that worth being proud of. I haven't gone through college and am just an ordinary man. But life must go on doing things not only for ourselves but also for those who...

joye68 Frustration is frustration. It comes and goes. How fast it goes depends on you. You have to live your life according to your own standards. Not someone else's. You are responsible for you and your actions. You are not responsible for someone else's therefore...

Okay, I just deleted another "friend" for spamming me...do you do that, too?

dragon54u @dragon54u (31634) • United States 5 Feb 11

I have a prominent greeting on my profile that's hard to miss--don't spam me or send me referrals or I'll delete you. I don't know how people miss that! Do they not look at a profile before they make a friend request? To make a...

joye68 Usually if a friend of mine asks if they can "use" me, I'll have no issue with it. A couple of real friends of mine started selling Avon and Tupperware. I LOVE that stuff so I could vouch for their selling a REAL product. I've had this issue on Facebook,...

I've been an etsian now for a while and I've discovered other similarly different sites that also sell handmade and vintage goods. I'm noticing the differences as I explore these two additional sites and I'm finding that I like...

joye68 I'm using multiple sites now. One has merits over the other and as a result, I find I use that one more. It's been a task maintaining all of them.

joye68 Craft baskets are an awesome idea. I've been doing them, too, with more recent events. It's really helpful, especially, if you're creating a gift with a variety of interests!

Tattoos

joye68 @joye68 (151) • United States 18 Oct 09

I've always wanted to get a tat or two... or three... I'm not into the tramp stamps like so many stepford girls are, so I designed a couple of my own that I'd like to sport around. Problem is... I don't like needles. Although...

joye68 Update: I STILL haven't gotten a tattoo. I know.. "just cos I have one, doesn't mean I have to BE one." My daughter is loaded with tats. She says the same thing. I think I will continue to ruminate on a tattoo. I figure if it's going to be...

joye68 Oh, I have no clue how I let this post slip past without response. I apologize for not acknowledging it. Plain leather/pleather, I can deal with. Animal prints, NO way... and definitely not lycra pants.

Ideas for old denim

joye68 @joye68 (151) • United States 8 Jul 10

Outside of the old jeans purses, what ideas can you come up with for creating new from old jeans?

3 responses

joye68 If you get a chance, give us a holler and let us know how your skirt turned out. Did you add fabric panels and make it into a dirndl style or did you sew the seams together into a pencil style skirt?

joye68 I've done the cropped pants thing, too. Plus the printed fabric makes GREAT patches for holes and rips. I can never get the shorts cut right. It's always too short.. but then I can still make it into a mini skirt, hehe. I like the headband idea!

Pagan Topic

i have been thinking a lot about the association between witchcraft and being a witch, and what got me thinking of this was something I read in a book awhile ago. Can one practice witchcraft without being a witch? I think...

joye68 It's like... school's either in or out. You're either reading and studying it and the intricacies ... or just plain giving it lipservice, like so many do (like fads). I'm also saying that it's not something that needs to be classified until you feel the...

joye68 Yes. Tell me about the heat! UGH. We seem to finally be getting SOME relief, but tomorrow it will be back up to 99. Can't wait for the next storm front to move in... Gas is SO expensive here running from 2.69 to 2.89 for the cheap stuff. The heat just puts...

Ok so i admit i didn't know what NOM was until today. Apparently its a group with supporters against gay marriage in the united states. Well, usually the people in this group are of some sort of christian denomination and a sign...

joye68 I agree. To me, it was supposed to FREE us to LIVE better as Christians. To let God have God's due Himself. We live as we are supposed to and face Him when the time comes for judgment.

Music, philosophy, art, writing and drama - what would you choose?

Porcospino @Porcospino (31366) • Denmark 8 Jul 10

joye68 Try this. See if any of the classes in other sectors can be used as "electives". This way it may be possible to at least get your feet wet in those pools. Whatever you do, though, make sure that school of your choice is accredited so that the coursework...

joye68 It's called upcycling. The purpose is to take old clothes and make different things from them instead of throwing them out. If you have ever had an old favorite pair of jeans, you may understand what I mean. Jean purses were made from old "cut offs", aka...

joye68 I LOVE the 50's dresses, too. Do you sew? I like finding the older patterns at thrift stores. My main issue isn't really getting them in hand, it's finding the size.

What do you have as a pet? Is it a loveable dog, a cuddly cat, a bird that sings or a fish that is beautiful and just swims? Or another kind of animal, what is your pet? What did you name him or her? Why do we love them so much??
