America’s most delightfully unconventional hostess and the bestselling author of I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence delivers a new book that will forever change the world of crafting. Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People proves that crafting is one of life’s more pleasurable leisure activities and anyone with a couple of hours to kill and access to pipe cleaners can join the elite society of crafters.

The book explains how to make popular crafts, such as crab-claw roach clips and crepe-paper moccasins, and how to avoid common crafting accidents (feather asphyxia, pine cone lodged in throat).
