If you've taken the "Buy Handmade" challenge this year why stop there? Inspired by Doug's post last year about turning a cereal box into an eco-friendly gift box, I endeavored to make a pillow box this year.
Over the years I’ve been consolidating my stuff. As appliances and computer peripherals have died I haven’t replaced them unless they were an absolute necessity. My mircrowave died and now I just cook things that don’t require a microwave (which is healthier anyway). Another piece of machineryI haven’t had for years is a scanner/fax. With [...]
