People just don't know how to make things anymore. So often if we need a dog leash or a game board for checkers or we go to the store and buy one. Not Rose Pearlman and Erin Boyle. They like to make things. For them, crafting isn't just as a way to save money, it's a way to appreciate the things we have in our homes. It's sustainability with style . Erin Boyle is a lifestyle blogger who wants more people to experience the satisfaction that comes from creating something for yourself. She is the co-author of a new book that champions handmade instead of store bought, in 100 projects she says, anyone can do. The book is called Making Things: Finding Use, Meaning, and Satisfaction in Crafting Everyday Objects. Erin's suggested project for beginners can be found here. Good luck!
