How many times have you heard the phrase “unprecedented times” over the past eight months? Well, you are about to hear it again. For most of my adult life, I have done things that I assumed to be common in most homes. I cook, bake bread, can, preserve and pressure cook; I know how to sew, knit, crochet and cross-stitch. Don’t ask me how I learned these skills, but I just thought we all picked them up along the way. As I got older and spoke to others, I came to realize that these were often considered antiquated and uncommon hobbies and skills – until now that is!
