This year has further nurtured the idea that making things for oneself is an incredibly fulfilling concept.  Not only am I making my life more sustainable, but I derive so much pleasure from producing my own goods.  Yesterday my boyfriend and I we were at a manor that had its own goats and I found myself yearning for that kind of atmosphere, but near a city of course.

I  have been scouring the internet for more and more things to create at home.  We’re working on a garden, I’ve been canning like crazy and now I’m going to start making homemade kraut.  But what about sewing and knitting things? That’s definitely on my list and I think I am going to start with these cool “storage slings” that I saw on Dwell Magazine’s website.  My friend Heather is a whiz at her sewing machine, so maybe she’d like to show me her ways and make them with me!
