Of course, the Puttering Basket is like the Vacation Bag! In the class I taught last summer about taking back our weekends, one of the things we talked about was preparing for your weekend as you would a vacation - so this makes perfect sense! And gives me even more clues about what to include. Thank you! -C @Liz -

And the lack of choice being a helpful thing, that really works. And it needing to be stocked up before puttering time...many a person's puttering time you've saved there I think with that important point. Mmmmmm hmmmmmmw I'm going to have bits of fabric, including cut up old clothes and jumpers for making things. Cards, maybe a collage for the wall. And books for pleasure, fiction...oh heaven.

It reminds me of the backpack full of amusements, diversions and snacks that is essential for travelling with a child. Oddly enough, your basket contains pretty much the same things I take with me when I travel: a book or three, my knitting project, some blank paper and colored pens and an ipod. In fact, one of my favorite things about travel is that enforced down-time. Love the puttering basket idea.
