Book Review: Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People

I belong to a craft circle, much to Franci's dismay. But we make shit, drink tea and chat about life once a week. Clearly we are trend setters as Amy Sedaris has just written a whole book on crafting. I have now come to the realization that our craft circle is so much fun because we are often high on glue, but no one has complained so far.
But being written by a Sedaris, it looks like a damn funny book. http://www.etsy.com/storque/handmade-life/simple-times-crafts-for-poor-people-10849/. And it is amazing what you can do with a glue gun, googly eyes and peanuts. You are all getting home made poresents for Christmas!

P.S. Since the blog is dying and no one even reads posts let alone writes them I don't care if you have no interest in crafting. The sad fact is that we are about to surpass the October post total of 4 and it is only the 3rd of November!

Actually we only craft once a month or I would have no brain cells left from the glue...

I have taken up sewing lessons with an eccentric rather large lady who is a chain smoker. We sew in her sewing room with an African Grey parrot called Alex, Juju the hamster, coco the staffie and oliver the fluffy long haired cat, all the while inhaling stale cigarette smoke and rodent droppings. Bring on the return of Crafting!!
