I'm a British student living in Paris for the academic year. Having only until June and just a (north-facing) balcony, I'm not really able to grow my own stuff (though if anyone has any ideas I can try, let me know!), but I'm self-sufficient-ish when it comes to making other things... I'm constantly re-cycling boxes, newspapers by making them into other things, have a large collection of vases/candlesticks made from old wine and lager bottles that I've painted, I'm knitting/sewing/crocheting as many new clothes as I can (which is increasingly more) - for myself and friends, I try to make my own cosmetics (dismally), bathing products, etc. Basically I have more time than money, and a creative streak that I like to turn to selfsufficientish type activities.
Though really I'm just a selfsufficient-ish fledgeling, I'm hoping to learn from you guys!
