Railla has a sincere, original, and really creative voice that gave this "closet crafty" girl at least a dozen great ideas. Railla combines a recycling ethos with a fresh enthusiasm for D-I-Y gifts, personal style, home making, and cooking. ( ) This book challenges the notion that home arts, such as cooking, crafting, and child rearing are contrary to feminism. In fact, it makes the point that women are empowered when we acknowledge our strengths in these areas. This is must-read for any woman who feels pressured to be all business all the time, and would like more time to enjoy the simple pleasures of home life. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
This is not your mother’s home ec! When Jean Railla was in her twenties, she thought being a bohemian meant smoking in cafes and going home to a crummy, dusty walk-up apartment. But then she had a shocking thought—would vacuuming really get her booted from the riot grrls club? So she began to cook, and then to knit, and then she took up sewing. Soon she had launched getcrafty.com, the webzine for radical craftiness. Get Crafty is about realizing that domesticity matters—that an apartment with handmade pillows or a bathroom with an Elvis theme is more life-affirming than the same old Ikea couch. Jean inspires readers to start making creative choices throughout their lives—in the way they shop, cook, dress, decorate, and, of course, craft. You will learn to consciously create your space, experience the joy of making things by hand, find the zen in cleaning, stock your pantry, and find treasure in the trash. It’s Home Ec, only hip. You will: Discover the joy of making it yourself, with instructions for a knit bikini, DIY cards, floral soap, and homemade peppermint lip gloss Create your own space and make simple home improvements Take a quiz: Which craft is right for you? Learn to thrift like an expert Take up Craftivism: 20 crafty causes that make a difference Organize crafty girl groups, and host a Naked Lady party Get Crafty is more than craft projects; it’s a new way of thinking and living, a way of finding happiness by expressing yourself creatively in every aspect of your life.
