My name is kc. I share ideas for craft projects that are environmentally healthy and accessible to people no matter what their budget. I get excited about upcycling {remaking old items into new). I also love to crochet and cook and am teaching myself how to use my new sewing machine. I write about all those topics, sharing things I make for my home and my family, and myself. If you have questions or suggestions about any of my posts, please leave a comment and I will happily respond. Thank you for visiting.
