Oh, dear. So now my fiance, who I have depended on to be the Hauler of Stuff throughout our relationship but particularly since our car accident (he wasn't very injured, and healed quickly), has hurt his back. Worse, he has no idea how! It's bee...

I've been sitting on this for a few weeks... I'm writing for DIY Life now. I'll be posting on general craft and DIY topics, but most specifically on knitting and crochet. (If you click that link, you can see a picture of the pitcher I use for ic...

Traveling across West Africa, it's easy to tell when you're coming to a town or city: the spindly brown trees become decorated with plastic bags like Christmas tree tinsel. Caught in shrubs and on fences, the bags clog sewers and water sourc...

First of all... the lack of posts around here is illusory; I've been working on filling in the archive with content from my old blog. I also wrote a FAQ, but haven't posted it publicly and wanted to look at it a lot more before I do. (Sometimes m...

I spent some time at a bookstore tonight, and the evening would have been bland if I hadn't found this book: A reviewer on Amazon said that it came out in the UK last year, but it's new in the US. This is a book with features on a bunch of pe...
