The sound of boro

India Flint recent posted a comment about the meaning of boro and selling items made to look like boro. 

This is my favourite pair of jeans

Before India I would have cut them up to make kids toys

After India I now happily stitch and look forward to more holes

I recently had to restitch the bottom part as the stitching wore out

Obviously wearing them too much 

The sound of unicorns prancing again

It's been busy in unicorn land

Presents for my two nieces

The sound of sea shells

Collected some lovely Nerita lineata shells 

Strung them up using hemp string

Next time I'll make my own string too 

Oiled them to get the shine going

They are another present 

The sound of gardening - African keyhole garden bed

In winter 2015 a Permablitz was held at my place 

friends came and helped build

me an African keyhole garden

Here is how we built it ...

This is the space it was built

In full winter production

The sound of egg collecting

three eggs this morning in the egg collectors basket

The Sound of Christmas Spoons

Loving handmade gifting this year again

I'm getting better at these 

but a lifetime of learning ahead of me

The Sound of Unicorns Prancing

Christmas has been busy.

more spoons crafted as presents 

and now Unicorns are on the list

dreaming of making one of these using only upcycled and hand dyed cloth

i have a piece of wool/silk just waiting and some hand  spun wool

lots of fun for little ones
perhaps even a hand carved wooden horn too
