Do you think square sausage would make a good meat for soup? #food #useWhatYouHave

Feeling a bit restless, I decided to do some sewing. I had a 50 cm piece of this dotted Kaffe Fassett fabric and when I checked my solid color stash (still a work in progress!), I found that I had a nicely matching color in almost the same size.

About an hour later, I now have a 3 meter long string with 12 flags ready to be used whenever I feel festive!

In anticipation for Halloween, I scoured my house for a few things for a mantle display because we do not buy plastic cr*p for decorations.

A couple of Terry Pratchett books, a little owl a black cat, a gargoyle, a candle from a visit to Soveregn Hill more than 35 years ago.....

Nature crafts might just become my favorite form of self-care.🥰 There’s something so nourishing about embracing nature, getting creative, and learning more about our land and what’s naturally available to us.

The door handel on our garden door was not working properly, because the metal was corroded on the inside. I really do not enjoy buying new bits, so i was happy when i found this lovely box of old handels in our workshop, and managed to cut one of them to fit perfectly! I then sanded it and painted it to match the door, and I must say I am quit pleased with the result 😊💃🏼🔨🪚✨

Mein Enkelmädchen braucht eine Aufbewahrung für ihre Babypixibücher. Der bunte Stoff aus meinem Vorrat gefiel mir am besten dafür. Und dann stellte sich heraus, dass sein Name auch genau passt! 😊 #fürsenkelmädchenmara #usewhatyouhave #nähen #sewing #büchertasche #diy
What use are things stored, never to be used but only kept safe?
Why don’t you enjoy them and take a beautiful piece of ceramics up a mountain, when you are clearly able to? Standing up there and sipping a matcha from a plastic bowl just because ✨it won’t break✨ will never evoke that feeling to have something I treasure accompany my travels.

A little over a year ago I followed a short evening course on "Getting to know your sewing machine". Combine this with a bad bout of the flu and endless YT time watching videos of Kate at The Last Homely House and you find me cutting up an old unused towel to make some new cleaning cloths.

Who'd thought it!
