How about this for a super cute and handmade way of asking your best girls to be your bridesmaids?! Such a personal gift is sure to go down well. This pattern only uses a simple cross stitch so anyone can easily do it (the pattern also comes with instructions in case you’re a first timer)! You can get the pattern here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/684498854/bridesmaid-cross-stitch-giftwill-you-be?ref=listing_published_alert

My second big switch! Goodbye plastic freezer bags and hellooooo silicone replacement! These bad boys are amazing. They can go in the fridge, freezer, microwave and even in the oven! And they’re entirely leak proof! How cool is that! And they’ll last forever. Just one of these will last years! I got them here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B071JY6V6C?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title and this is not a paid listing, I just think they’re great! (I know I know, it’s amazon, it’s not great but I could only find them here.)

I’m trying very hard to work meat free meals into my diet (although a b12 deficiency makes it difficult). Any recipe suggestions that dont include tomato or mushrooms?

nymori has managed to not only put my feelings into words but also stitch them! 

Putting stuff into words is hard. Cross stitching them once you’ve figured out the words is the easy part.

I’m going to use my tumblr to talk about my (admitted slow) transition to live waste free.  My first big switch was buying a cutlery set to take to work.  For years I’ve been using the disposable cutlery at work, I did try to switch to the cutlery in the staff room.  But I work in a hospital and the first time I used a staff room fork I got norovirus and didn’t leave the bathroom for 3 days! Now I have cutlery thats just mine! No more disposable cutlery here!

Did you know that 8 types of bee are now officially extinct!  And bee’s are so important to our planet! That’s why I made this bee cross stitch pattern! He’s so cute, I’m going to stitch him and put him on my wall to remind me to look out for the bee’s!
