It’s abundantly clear that they are the perfect environment forContinue reading “HOW MANY KITCHEN TOWELS DO I NEED?”
REMEMBRANCE DAY

Each poppy is slightly different, (buttons, yarn shades, patterns vary), but all made with love and care. These poppies are being sold for $5 each, with proceeds going to both the Women’sContinue reading “REMEMBRANCE DAY”
ECO DYEING
Today, at the Women’s Shed, we learned a bit about Eco-dyeing. Erika is new to our community and has this amazing skill of dyeing fabrics using natural leaves and flowers.

TIME TO CATCH UP
It’s so exciting that in a few days we will be able to catch up with everyone at the Women’s Shed. My big news is that we had a new grandson born during the lockdown. He can be seen here, lovingly wrapped in his newly crocheted baby blanket. I have lots more photos and thingsContinue reading “TIME TO CATCH UP”

COCONUT & CHERRY
This was an easy to make and easy to eat biscuit. The coconut makes them hard to stop at one and I put half a cherry on top instead of a quarter. I think it made them look more visually appealing. The recipe this week was my husband’s choice. He loves a Cherry Ripe andContinue reading “COCONUT & CHERRY”
