Welcome to Litsy!

Assembling a DIY book nook and the mini books fill me with delight ☺️

I do wish I had more energy to do things like this!

To start tomorrow.

#CoverStories #Barn Spin wool , make cheese, make bricks ,cure bacon! My grandparents could make almost everything, I have always been interested in the old folkways. If we keep going the dystopian way we all may need books like this !

Saw this on Facebook to make mini books. The crafters precut foam tape is at DollarTree, according to the post.

I‘ve been wanting to make mini books and then place them in a clear tree ornament.

Mercury Stardust is the Trans Handy Ma‘am on social media. Her DIY videos started showing up in my YouTube feed a few months ago. While I‘m not a renter, this books has helpful information in it for all. I like her message of “You‘re worth the time it takes to learn a new skill.”

Finished February 16, 2025.

I liked very few of the projects in this book. I would definitely not call all of them upcycled, and many of them needed more detailed instructions. Also, the author seemed really arrogant. But there are some good ideas and useful tips (like what kind of glue to use), and I think one of the things about upcycling is it‘s hard to say “here‘s a project you can do” because it‘s so dependent on what materials you have at hand. Borrow, not buy.

A short book about reducing your carbon footprint by creating an ethical wardrobe. I have to give a presentation on this in February and this was a great place to start for basics.

This book takes two hands and that‘s not permitted at the moment.

I‘ve been sick the last couple days and Let This Radicalize You is just too much for my tired brain to take right now. This seems like it will do the trick instead.
