Time Saver: Makeshift Measurers
Here’s a neat tip from the book:
Mrs. Dunwoody’s Excellent Instructions for Homekeeping
Timeless Wisdom and Practical Advice
by Miriam Lukken
Time-Saver: Makeshift Measurers
It seems I find myself forever in need of a measuring stick. I finally learned to measure the length of my index finger (3 inches), hand (7 inches), and elbow to middle fingertip (16 inches). Also helpful is the measurement of your shoe and your outstretched arms, fingertip to fingertip. The Judge kept a belt with every 2 inches marked off on the inside. (Still my favorite way to measure.) A quarter is 1 inch in diameter, and a penny is 3/4 inch.
If you have more ideas for makeshift measurers, I’d love to hear them :).
