I enjoy the retired lifestyle on a small homestead in Florida USA. I hope to be able to travel in a nomadic off-grid way someday. I create and produce tutorials in digital form published in PDF, all of which I used to make, sell, or gift. I made the tutorials for those folks who want to make the totes instead of buying from me. I blog at http://www.handcraftermaggie.wordpress.com
