Like the production of food, a variety of handicrafts were a mundane requirement of the female gender. Today, as we come to realize that something has been lost in the mechanization of […]
Here’s a splendid piece of recycling from Melissa at To Boldly Fold. She took an empty plastic wrap box (and the tube that the wrap came on), and modified them into a handy way to store her collection of Japanese masking tapes. I love any project that gives me a good excuse to acquire more […]
