reuse: cement sacks

Reuse is widespread in Bangladesh, and used cement sacks form a great base for reuse. They are strong and durable and you see them being carried around as bags everywhere. Inspired by this we decided to use this material for a range of Tulsi bags.

Here you see one example of the bags. As you can see it feels right at home in the Dutch polders as well! This one and the rest of the range will be available soon in our webshop.

Crafty Photo Scavenger Hunt August

The Crafty Photo Scavenger Hunt is an idea started by Kirst and this month hosted by Ruth.

something i made

I made myself a skirt and I'm unreasonably proud. I've never succeeded at making anything wearable before. Of course I made some mistakes, but it turned out very nice, and it's bright orange with dots.

I found this wonderful book for children, orla kiely's colours.

The book has my old brown coffee mugs in it!

We wandered in to an old candy shop and were surprised by lots of wonderful cat themed cards, this one says 'only falling cats land on their feet'.
