Free Simple Crochet Preppy Bow Pattern At My Ravelry Shop

http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/simple-crochet-preppy-bow
Hello again, I have added another crochet pattern to my Ravelry store. It is for a simple crochet hair bow. This would be great for Halloween if you worked this up using the Red Heart reflective yarn.
Just remember you might have to work tighter an use a hook one size smaller in order to obtain a reasonably sized hair bow. But, I really love the RedHeart Reflective line. I ride a bicycle almost everywhere I go, and my reflective hat has saved me a time or two (No Joke).

Mrs Beeton's Book Of Household Management Book Download


I found this book while searching online for random things. It is called Beeton's Book Of Household Management  This book is great for history buffs (Downton Abbey Fans) and for anyone interested in old recipes or domestic living. I am including a link to download the ePub and Kindle book. 
Published in 1861, Mrs Beeton’s Book of Household Management  was a guide to all aspects of running a household in Victorian Britain.
The 2751 entries include tips on how to deal with servants’ pay and children’s health, and above all a wealth of cooking advice, instructions and recipes. It was an immediate bestseller, running to millions of copies within just a few years.
Book of Household ManagementPerhaps surprisingly, author Isabella Beeton was just 21 years old when she started working on the book, and she died young at 28.
The book gives a charming and historically significant insight into Victorian domestic management.
Although its entries have little practical relevance today the name “Mrs Beeton” still has iconic status in Britain: most people recognize it and know its connotations, although very few have actually come into contact with the book itself.
The phrase, first, catch your hare, while popularly thought to originate here, was already proverbial when the book was written.
Today’s superstar chefs (especially Delia Smith) might be seen as the direct descendants of Mrs Beeton, who saw as they did the need to provide reassuring advice on culinary matters for the British middle classes, the Industrial Revolution having sealed the demise of traditional rural cooking skills.
