As Amandawrites in the introduction, “As a crafter, I’m always looking for the nextthing I want to make. As a mama, I’m always looking for the next thing weneed—to do, to have, to use—as a family. The coming together of these parts iswhere the heart of Handmade Home lies.” Filledwith thirty-three projects made by reusing and repurposing materials, all ofthe items here offer a practical use in the home.
