I’ve been getting rid of clutter at home : finding paper to recycle and old clothes to give away or upcycle. Some I’ll keep for personal reasons. Consider the outfit below for instance. It’s perhaps not

I have been looking forward to trying my free sewing machine. I needed to screw into place the thread mast and as you can see from the picture collage above I got on to the job and managed to do it - it

I had three extremely ripe bananas and the chickens had laid no eggs. I search 'egg free banana cake' and found this recipe. It was fast to make and bake because I didn't use a loaf tin but a baking tray.

Challenge accepted, @jamethiel. This is for the #three-wishes started by @epicdave. I read your post really carefully and I first wondered whether the power of wishes could be strengthened by wishing the

I am feeling really pleased at the moment. I got this industrial sewing machine through Freecycle. This is a great system of finding a welcome new home to items you don't particular want to sell. I found

As most of you already know, I have been having problems with my wrists. Tonight, I they are flaring up more and because of I am making this post shorter than I usually do. Know that all of your work has

This was a fun project for me. To clarify, I don’t wear make-up but care deeply about my choices and those of people around me. I also love making things and crocheting - making these little circles was

It's time to token up... Steem-Engine.com is rolling and it makes creating tokens as simple as pie. I'm working on a new project and a new plan. And tokens are going to fit in real nice. Tokenomics are

Thank you very much for running this competition, @deemarshall! Also thanks to @organduo and @laputis for the prize donation. Here's my clown entry... about to become mayhem :D watercolour by @cryptocariad

Steem needs a USP. A Unique Selling Point that is easy to convey, readily understandable and has wide appeal. I've been on Steem for 18 months, I know pretty well what goes on and how it works, I'm invested

Good morning, #Needleworkmonday ! I was so surprised by a present I received from @neumannsalva last week that I needed to show it to you. It’s a wonderfully hand dyed skein of wool yarn you can see in

That's part of my latest finished project. It's a lap blanket I made in Marriner's Super Chunky acrylic that a friend gave me ages ago. The label suggests size 10 knitting needles, but as I didn't have

Good morning #needleworkmonday ! Last week I was once again impressed by @pempumaking's beautiful alpaca - If you haven't seen it, have a look here : It's no secret that I like alpacas, llamas, vicuñas

I found this clear ‘all-in-one’ amigurumi pig crochet pattern by chance - @mivstar called it a 'nano pig'. The pattern is extremely clear but as I had to stop so many times while making it I got a bit

Thank you all so much for your support during this year and for your advice about this stitch @fiberfrau, @muscara, @shanibeer, and @kimmac. I have to be quite ‘deliberate’ when knitting this two colour

I've already had to unravel this little scarf quite a few times. In fact, unravelling and then trying to find how to 'catch' the loops for each stitch is also hard; practice makes perfect :D I've been

It only took a few seconds to take a photo of the beautiful reflection on the river Tywi (or Towy) this misty morning. The bridge is known as the Williams-Ellis bridge after the architect who designed
