I have the same issue with no sewing space as such so it can be really demotivating thinking about getting everything out and then packing everything away again before the kids come home. One day maybe! I'm glad I've finally found the time to find your blog!<br />Lucy xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12842167896071411165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-15741007547494554992016-04-07T14:48:33.524+01:002016-04-07T14:48:33.524+01:00Hi there, thank you for joining in with my link pa...Hi there, thank you for joining in with my link party. I love all of these things you've been making. The bags are a great idea. I think handmade gifts are the best kind. I'm sure yours will be loved. The eggs and dolls are wonderful too.

The only part that alarms me when I make some, is how much fabric it seems to take, as its cut on the bias. Your bags are so colourful. Love the eggs and peg dolls.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458243149834190714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-16855103145168538902016-04-03T20:34:16.430+01:002016-04-03T20:34:16.430+01:00I am intrigued by your rye flour shampoo.

I wash my hair with grated pure soap simmered with herbs (chamomile leaves are very fpgoingoing) or blossom and do a final rinse/condition with a homemade Rosemary infusion. I've been doing this for about 20 years in an attempt to reduce plastic. I always use pure soap to wash my body and hands and (dare I say this) I don't use deodorant. My bible for such things is "Nature's Foods" by Peter Deadman and Karen Betteridge and every time I refer to this book which was first published in 1973 I find it more and more relevant to my life today.

I have wanted to start a seasonal table when Cameron was little but I knew that Alice would make off with all the little bits and pieces! It had to wait, but in many ways that has been a good thing as now they are old enough to make many of the bits we want to add. They love getting the box out each month we store all the out of season pieces in to add and take away bits.sustainablemumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099701194160334671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-59983151599316432862016-03-31T21:23:02.660+01:002016-03-31T21:23:02.660+01:00Thank you.

I always like to see the things you make for gifts, they're always so well thought out and I'm sure they're very well received by the recipients, the beanbags in a bag is another wonderful idea. I like the idea of a seasonal table, things can be added to it each year.
