How old is everyone?

[faewren]

Hi! I'm new, 28 and a female. Long time reader, first time poster. ^_^

'Back in the day' the men made the bed frames, the chairs, tables, basically any furniture or household item that was physically demanding. Plus carving and whittling were more in the 'male accepted crafts'. The women made the linens, and the fancy stuff for decorating the house. Also young women were expected to start married life with an entire hand-made trousseau which was part of her dowry, back when that was tradition. A trousseau was all the bed linens, quilts, blankets, doilies, tablecloths and so on that were both functional and decorative. And since most girls got married between the ages of 15-18 you can imagine they started young and worked on it a LOT. Men were supposed to provide the roof, furniture and the living.

I am so glad things have changed!!

Sorry. I am a hobby historian.

I'm 32 and female. My husband is a classic Nintendo collector and I'm a long time crafty nerd. I love that I was able to find a site that could mash the 2 together! I'm a new member to this site but am enjoying all the projects here and the fact that there are people who can create patterns for you. Awesome job everyone!!

I think in this forum we are damned either way. Sure we have "Who would think so many guys stitched?" and then on the other hand "Who would think so many girls play games?"

The best answear I have come up with is "What is soo girly about stabbing a bit of fabric with a sharp point a few thousand times?"..."Well unless it to make a unicorn under a rainbow with a dolphin doing a backflip over it"

Social Stigmatas what larks eh.

Anyway
Age: 28
Sex: Male

Icelandic Hitman, when I read your post I thought of this (if you'll excuse my complete geekiness):

If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for what we really are.

I did laugh at the unicorn/rainbow/dolphin thing, it sounds very girly You wouldn't catch me doing it though!!
