a thrifty, crafty, MacGyvery place with a simple goal: to keep everyone lively, happy, full-bellied and in the black

Two bits of  string is inspired by our times, a toddler, and a book we came across called the Family Creative Workshop a multi-volume how-to/encyclopedia of things you should know how to do. We hope over time to create an updated version of this book and have entries on a variety of useful projects with great links to resources. We welcome contributors. If there is something you would like to write about please let us know.
