Tom and I are still on vacation but I wanted to post about my travel craft kit for the trip. I’m actually quite proud of it, because it’s very different than what I usually bring on vacations. Ever since I started knitting over 6 years ago, I never travel without a project. I’ve lost the [...]

Tom and I always bring canvas bags to carry our groceries when we shop. It keeps us from wasting a lot of plastic bags, and it’s also a lot easier to carry a few large canvas bags over your shoulder than to have dozens of plastic bags cutting your palms as you struggle to carry [...]
