I came across this little beauty the other day and have been fascinated since. I love, love, love the idea of useful and helpful all in one. As we become more and more detached from where our food comes from, personal communication (she says writing from a computer, ha!) I think it's important for there to be projects like this that make it easy to help, provoke and teach.
Hope you enjoy it…anyone got any other great ideas like this?

Just a quick one today
For those of you who have been in this country for the last couple of years will probably already know...for those of us who haven't I'm super duper pleased to say that the fantastic peeps at River Cottage have come up with a land share idea. It really is fantastic.
Main gist is, you want to grow veggies but have no land or space. Mr George down the road has a massi back garden or a few spare acres, you get together and share! Fantastic right!
So get onto the website to find out if you can share your land or if some kind soul will let you use their land.
Happy days!

My very first...
Okey dokey, here it comes, my DIY page…and I promise you as a total new-be I will be so much better at organising and making everything look super pretty and if anyone has any hints on making photos look good from an Ipad perlease tell me!
Where I am it is famous for this stuff called Hennequin, a cactus which back in the day was actually the product used to make the first rope (yes, I am history master! haha). We in the Europe world know it as hessian, not sure what Americans call it but, if you find out let me know!
There is so much of the stuff and it is sooo sustainable that they practically give it away and so, I could´t resist picking up a couple of meters to play around with.
The result was these fantastic little bags (easy to put handles on if you wanted) and which I use from taking my organic veggies to the clients, as bins in my guest rooms (obviously not the same ones I take veggies in) and much much more. Everyone seems to love them and everyone seems to want one.
And so, drum roll please, the first person who joins my blog (ah bribery huh?!?!) will get one of these in the post…

| Using bright coloured thread to sew up the edges adds texture at the same time as really making the bag stand out |
