What do you accomplish by making your bed everyday ?

Anish Asokan @RevivedWarrior (3853) • India 26 Aug 24

I was arguing with my friend on the importance of making our bed every day. It is a simple habit and does not take much time. It brings a sense of accomplishment to start the day. It brings in a feeling of tidiness and...

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 24 Jul 24

The second thing on my list of things to make was book bags. The school librarian has had the idea of doing her bit to reduce the use of plastic by using book bags instead of putting the books into plastic covers. So instead of...

Yesterday turned into a day of making things. Little One came home from school poorly the day before and had a bad night, so she was at home resting in the morning while I worked. But in the afternoon she felt better so we tackled...

IMAM @Zeeeerr (12) 28 Oct 23

What do you think about the Shutterstock website or application that makes money by selling photos? Is it profitable? In my opinion, this site is quite good. Those of us who like taking photos of the environment and can generate...

Make Ends Meet

Shavkat @Shavkat (141906) • Philippines 4 Oct 23

I am trying to make ends meet because I do not want to be in debt. That is the reason why I have never used credit cards in my entire life. As for me, it is a temptation to squander more than is required. I still remember a friend...

I'm never going on The Great British Sewing Bee!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 5 May 23

Many years ago, it must be about 15 years I think, I had taken my partner along to my favourite fabric warehouse, which is always full of amazing things. It’s really hard to get away from there without getting sucked in to buying...

The way things used to be

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 27 Nov 22

It’s funny but not so long ago I was chatting to Little One about modern lifestyles and how things have changed. We were doing some sewing and I was talking about how useful it is to be able to make and/or mend things and how life...

Stealth yarn-bombing

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 30 Jul 21

In recent years a bit of a ‘thing’ has developed for so-called ‘yarn-bombing’ - decorating street furniture such as lamp posts with knitted or crocheted covers. I’ve seen it done in a couple of places, especially in preparation...

Shavkat @Shavkat (141906) • Philippines 6 May 21

I hate to throw away anything potentially useful - and of course depending on how you think about it, that could include almost anything! As I said in an earlier post, during lockdown I have been wearing all my oldest, holiest...

My new project

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 3 Jan 21
