So I've been busy in the creation station, making over the shoulder bags....and i really want a certain kinda green ....so I'm thinking.... well, yellow and blue make green, i have these natural products you can eat, or the skin of it, lets see if we combine them...

WELL PICKLE ME GRANDMOTHER>>>>>>>
I used 1 skin from a product, when boiled, and a soup spoon of mordant, it came out this funny mustardy yellow...yucky really... not at all what i expected, so i rinsed it under cold water....
EURIKA BABY..... it turned green.....depending on the material, and how strong the solution was, on the depth and shade, but right up mamma's alley ...

CAN YOU GUESS WHAT THIS SKIN IS????

I will post pics later, it's raining real hard atm, and the light doesn't do it justice

NOT my usual kind of post this, but we are seriously trying to help my brother in law....who has stage 4 cancer
Please share this and let us get him the treatment he needs as soon as possible

Calling all friends and family in SOUTH AFRICA or elsewhere who have connections in RSA

As some of you may know, Ivan's brother has cancer, stage 4 oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
Despite chemo etc, he is still very ill, and has found a Dr who can help him, in Pretoria.
The thing is, 3 months treatment costs R655 000. The clinic has given David a fundraising letter, which I am happy to email to anyone who is prepared to help, which explains the cancer, the treatment, survival rate, and how the funding works.
ALL donations are tax refundable, which is a great bonus, and I am asking everyone who either owns a business, or knows of business's, to please forward this letter to them, so David can get treatment as soon as possible.
This amount does not include travel from Nelspruit to Pretoria. Thankfully accommodation has been offered by a dear family friend, but that, as is life, can also change due to circumstances etc. So if anyone wants to make any private donations towards his travel, I will put you in contact with David directly as this is APART from the R655 000 for the treatment.
If you find it in your heart in anyway to help, please pm your email address, so I can forward you the letter.
This is where he will be going

Registration Number 2014/158072/08 PBO 930057564

We really would appreciate all the help we can get, as the chances for him to have a better quality of life with this treatment is very high, and after one transfusion he told Ivan he hadn't felt that good in 2 years,( but, he is still very sick).
Be blessed, and be a blessing

I am so loving the creativity of this artist.
Textiles just make me so happy ... i think it's a sensory thing, and as i struggle in trying to regain the ability to feel in my right hand, touching textiles or anything with texture has become more satisfying, and something small for which i am so grateful

You know i love a good recycle, but i also love gardening and growing my own food. Now not everyone has the space for big gardens, and this is just so practical ... this would also be great for companion planting ...
How do YOU grow food in a small space?

Also, i would fill these buckets the hugel culture way, wood pieces at the bottom, nice disease free ones, they can be bigger than just small twigs, because you do want to make good soil in the process, remember drainage holes, and layer on that something green for nitrogen, a layer of wood chips, a layer of some kind of compost, then your garden or potting soil,mulch with hay or wood chips, water in well, and plant after an hour or 2, just to give the water time to work through. you will then see if you need to add anything more ... remember to water seeds or your seedlings lightly after planting, even though you watered the whole bucket an hr or 2 before

Please share your gardens here

As a textile artist, this was fascinating to watch, and it sure gives one a new respect for how textiles where made way back in the day

Been busy making material while it has been raining....

31/01/2022

Had the very special privilege of making a memory pillow for very dear friends of mine. It was a very emotional experience indeed. I am now working on a cloth book mostly handstitched which will have all the badges and ribbons etc. Will post that as soon as I am finished.

So today I ask us to take care of each other, love each other and be kind. Tomorrow is not promised.

As the year draws to a close here in Aussieland, I would like to wish you all the very best for 20plenty2
Plenty of laughter, love, good health, memory moments and ofcourse crafting.

On a serious note, please be kind to each other, in this crazy time we live in, each one has the right to their own descisions in life, for whatever reason, let us respect that and be kind. Let us also use common sense, and keep social distancing when needed, practice good hygeine, and take care of yourselves, not just for your own sake, but for those around you and your loved ones. You matter to them....

Also in this crazy time when i am sure we will be in lockdown again....take care of your mental health aswell. Please talk to someone you trust or call a lifeline help center if things get too dark... believe me, there is light at the end of the tunnel and it is NOT the train coming to hit you.

One of the ways i take care of mine is by crafting, or learning a new crafting skill. You don't need to be arty farty to craft, just a willingness to learn and have FUN.

May 2022 be a wonderfully blessed year for you.
God bless
