Wonderful site, Thank you very much.
Even though the climate around where I live is dryer and many of the foods you gather are not to be found, your general attitude toward life and nature is refreshing.
Keep up the great work,
Hello, Mike;
I've been following your site for years. You taught me the basics of 7-cord braiding and loom weaving (VERY welcome for bag making - I've knitted for decades and bags just take too long), and I've tried many of your crafts with some lovely results. I was especially happy to see your Tin Can Boxes were featured on the Instructables site as Drink-Can-Tinwork. I AM a bit confused, though....do you also go by the name "mange-tout?" I thought you might use the name as an homage to your little Snow Pea boat ... which I WILL try to re-create just as soon as I learn to swim. ;)
Thanks for many UN-wasted hours, and making long Northern nights so much more fun!
Love and Cheers from Canada,
Bette
Hi, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for sharing all of your inventive enthusiasm. I read nearly every one of your projects and have filed a few away in my head for future opportunities to repurpose old materials. The diversity of your inquisition was unexpected (NO one expects the spani...er 'atomic shrimp' inquisition) and I just wanted to say how great your site was as a platform to share with those of us hungry for fresh ideas. Hailing from Washington state in the U.S.A. Again, thanks for sharing. ~Gabriel.
P.s. Great little factoid about the energy saved recycling 100 soda cans equaling the consumption of a family home for a month. If i can find a source to verify that I'm gonna spread the word. That is something people can relate to. Portland, Oregon, my nearest city just got voted the greenest city on earth for it's size.

What a great site you have, love the randomness of your various projects, can't even remember why I first visited, but now have my own list of projects to complete.....beats watching the TV...cheers and best regards, Hampshire Matt.
I came here to look at your spool knitter ie French knitter and spent countless time looking at your boat (sending that one to husband), horseshoes, recipes, lost gloves and other stuff. Here in Midwest USA farmers put cowboy boots upside down over their wooden fence poles. Why...I don't know. I am orginally a New Englander and although here almost 20 years, I haven't figured that one out. Thank you for all the wonderous stuff. Yours truly, Tuppenny Loafboat.
Love your site. Bought partner a knitting doll as silly stocking filler - she's now addicted so came across your site while looking for ideas on what to do with the results. Love your bag idea.

I found your site from stumbleupon and I love it! I enjoy how you post whatever random project you feel like, especially when you recycle and make things from scratch.
happy experimenting,
