Victoria Gazeley on Modern Homestead

I hear the sounds of Green Acres when I hear folks talk about going back to the land. I'm part city girl. I can relate to a fictional situation comedy about wanting to be back in nature.

I also know the reality of spending time with my grandmother. I chopped wood, drew well water and kept an I out for that rooster.

Not everybody can go back to farm life but you might want to consider incorporating a bit of it in your life.



This is Victoria Gazeley who lives in Canada. In this video she talks about her reasons for moving out of the city and living as close as she can to a modern homesteading life.

Her blog can be found at ModernHomesteading.ca

Craft Based Videos Created by Women

Women create all kinds of video content. The crafting community is no exception.



This video by Corrinne at Craftvision for the magazine Craftzine on Top 10 Favorite DIY Wedding Dress Ideas and Inspirations.

Just as there are a bunch of people who do not want to get traditionally married there are folks that do but they want their own look and style to be represented. There are others that want to look good but do not have the cash for a $15,000 gown.

For the DYI folks, this is for you.

Rebecca MacKinnon Talk at TED Global

It is true that the more freedom you think you have the more the powers that be want to take it away. For your own good of course. To protect you.

So they say.

There are voices that state otherwise; this is one of them in an excellent talk at the 2011 TED Global Conference in Edinburgh, Scottland.

Sasha Sumner - WaterYouGonnaDo

Sasha's video is simple. What is the connection to water and life? In the notes that accompany this video she writes:

Hydraulic fracturing, known as “fracking” for short, is a means of extracting gas from underground through pressurized injection of water, sand and chemicals. The process not only releases the gas, but also contaminates the water and air with radioactive materials, heavy metals, and toxic chemicals.

Now view the video with that information in your mind. It does put a different swing on it. You can view more of Sasha's videos at her Vimeo page.
