Thanks for inviting me. <br /><br />Charmaine, intrigued is good!<br /><br />Alex, as a writer you're already making something by hand, eh?<br /><br />Margot, I consider myself more of a dilettante than an expert...<br /><br />bermuda onion, awesome that you got one of Ricki's cheese making kits! Homemade mozzarella is SO good.<br /><br />Hey Dru -- glad you stopped by!<br /><br />Helen, I highly approve of "recycling" books by reading them and then giving them away ; ) <br /><br />Joanne, the home crafts definitely inform the story. I've killed people with lye, botulism, a hank of yarn and by bashing them over the head with a milk bottle. <br /><br />Thanks, Jemi. Happy Canada Day!

So, I'm thinking ahead to Christmas. (The bonus is that I can buy them now, carefully read them, then give them to her. ;-)<br /><br /><a href="http://straightfromhel.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Straight From Hel</a>Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-2959977279287802352010-07-01T08:20:31.851-04:002010-07-01T08:20:31.851-04:00Great interview and this book is one of my definit...Great interview and this book is one of my definite reads.Druhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978384022143035332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-57401285674785136672010-07-01T07:56:06.956-04:002010-07-01T07:56:06.956-04:00Great guest post!

I have to admit, while I admire people who are experts on pioneer crafts, I don't know much about candle/soap making, weaving, etc..
