Ditch the Plastic

Look after our planet
If there's one thing that this current situation has highlighted it's how our actions or inactions directly affect our lives on this planet; and looking after our planet is crucial for our continued existence.

We might not have a cure for all disease nor an answer to every climate change issue, but we can certainly do our bit by trying to eliminate plastic from our lives. It's a tough one, we've come to depend on it so much, far too much. It requires us to retune our actions and routines, but it can be done.

I'm doing my little bit to help with this by keeping my business free of plastic. It's early days and I'll freely admit there are a few things I still need to find alternatives for, but I'm getting there.

I hope that my string shopping bags might be the start of a new routine for you, or maybe a addition to your current one. They're strong, soft, colourful and hopefully you'll agree, do a great job when you're out and about getting your groceries.

If you'd like one in a particular colour, please let me know, otherwise, these newbies are now in my shop.
Colourful Ramblings
Life has been somewhat topsy turvy for the past few years. With Covid affecting the whole world and then my own little world being challenged with the tedium that comes with trying to sell my house and move to somewhere new; I've been feeling somewhat overwhelmed. The one constant in my life has been my yarns, hooks and needles. I honestly think they are to thank for getting me through the past four years with a semblance of sanity in tact.
If I was to rank 2022 on a scale of 1 - 10, it's a solid 5. Neither wonderful nor disastrous, in school report terms, "could do better".
A new life and a new start is in reaching distance, I just have to be patient. I’ll keep doing the right things to make it happen and hopefully, before long I’ll be sharing with you my new adventure.
This day was always going to come, the day I say au revoir to all of you who signed up to my newsletters, visited my website, bought my products and offered kind words of support. Many of you did that regularly and I’m really grateful.
It took a pandemic to make me realise that I am enough. Yes, the me that I am today is more than enough, I don’t need to be anything more. I discovered that I don’t need to wear make-up and wash my hair every day (yes, I used to wash it every day - how ridiculous was that) and my pared back wardrobe was more than enough too.
