There were no frozen foods, instant soups, cereal or pudding, no ready-made clothing, or milk cartons that you pick up at the local store. The women made everything by hand, with what materials they had available in or near their home. Recently there has been a revival of the do-it-yourslef’ers. There are many different craft courses, demonstrations, and kits readily available to anyone who is interested. Indeed, making things in the home is becoming very popular - not so much because of need - but rather desire and the pride of saying “I did it myself”. Cooking is a prime example.
