One of the great things about my mom is that she finds a
surplus of something in her house and turns to me and says ‘do something with
these.’ It works well, she collects and I then create. Thus I know how to crochet with plastic grocery bags bags, I know a few
dozen recipes that use various forms of jam with pectin, and I know what to do
with a surplus of old volleyballs that won’t hold air.
