"let’s do something positive to reduce the hideous number of plastic bags being used - 1 million are consumed per minute globally - of which hundreds of thousands end up in the oceans.

the idea is to get together with people in your local community, drink wine and make reusable cloth bags (from old duvet covers, curtains from charity shops etc) and hand them out to the unsuspecting public for free on specified dates outside different supermarkets.

meet new people, do something marvelous for the planet and beat other pods (groups) of baggers with your morsbag tally."

I'll be offering these wonderful soft and lofty rovings at the SLV Folk Arts and Fiber Festival.

I'm loving the combs. Combing, Spinning, and Weaving are my three favorite fiber arts...

I'll have to buy a fleece just to make a project from start to finish...but then I'll never sell it... it would have too much of me in it.

Focus. Do things you love. Do things you'll care enough to remember. Don't wait for something else to happen. Live now.
