I mentioned last week that my neighbourhood had our annual clean up.

Observing the wastage of perfectly usable items I was prompted to propose the global sisterhood initiative. I asked my friends to donate unused, as new products from their homes, to send to @azizbd in Bangladesh.

Personal beauty / essentials for the mothers at @schoolforsdg4 in Syhlet.


My mind has been focused on the potential for upcycling unwanted goods.

In the hopes of them gaining a second lease on life, rather than ending up as landfill.


I couldn't help myself, I became a hoarding picker.

An enormous pile of good quality clothing was among the mix of items.

I couldn't believe that someone would place dozens of bag's of good quality clothing in the street, ahead of the forecast rain, rather than give them to a charity shop.

My mother has been knitting for the children at the school.

They look pretty good too!

These gorgeous models @little-peppers received some of her creations last week.

She was so excited when I sent her @papa-peppers package post.

She has been knitting like crazy!


I thought of a project I had seen on many crafting sites.

This isn't my brain child, it's a thing that the crafty people that I aspire to be are doing.

Grab your unwanted sweater

Or is we say in my country - jumper.

Cut it.

Place it on a table inside out, pin it if you like, and cut both sides together.

Stitch it.

Leaving it inside out, you may focus on strength of stitch and not worry too much about neatness, as you won't see it.

Turn it in the right way

This one is embellished with a little felt and a button.
Simple little extra bit of fab.

It is modelled here by Christmas bear.

Christmas bear is not a regular favourite.

But December is his month to shine.

I am going to make a bunch more of these, and send them with the goodies to the kiddies in Syhlet.


Every little fishie in the steemit ocean can do something to keep this space unique and amazing. 🐠
