Hello
I know I haven't been here again for a while - much sewing/tidying/cursing in the workroom, together with child wrangling going on in the background. Plus, I'm so tired I can barely move some days. Ah, the joys of being a Mummy. (Not).
Anyway, I have (surprisingly) had some time to beetle about on the computer, and thought you might like to share in a few delights I have found recently.
Feeling the pinch? Need crafty Christmas ideas? Then looky here (thank you Rhonda at Down to Earth for the links):

New foodie blog to read

Another Great Blog
Funny, great crafty-ness, and some fabulous tutorials. Check out the Fabric Doll House! I'm hoping to make at least one of these, I know a little person who will be 3 in a few months .... But not tonight, because I am making a marble bag for a friend's little boy who will be 5 on Saturday. No pressure there, then, with all the hand sewing this particular project requires!

Just like mine really!
And a big thanks to Dave, for sharing his work:

Eco friendly and all that
Been revisiting a few eco sites today, and I'd like to share a few. My personal favourite, which helps me de-clutter and boost my karma '} too, is freecycle - it's going global, you are sure to find a local group, check out the main site here, and my local here.
Recyling plastic bottles is a big job in our house, as we get through a lot of milk - which nowadays, even if you get it from the milkman, all comes in those big plastic tubs. There's only so many mini plant waterers you can make with these, so most go into our local council's recycling scheme. But plastic water bottles get re-used here (we don't really like the bottled water, but the empties are useful for thirsty toddlers when you're out, so now and again we buy some) and here's a company who are encouraging the use of tap water, together with recycling at the end of a bottle life cycle. They're also selling their own bottles which are made with a non-leaching plastic material - always something that has worried me about using plastic bottles for any length of time. I will buy a couple as my toddler is due to start Reception next month, and they have to bring "a clear plastic bottle of water" to school every day (why you can't use an aluminium one I don't know), and of course, if one has it, the other has to too!
And finally, I've found a new one, where a whole family is trying to reduce their waste to zero - good for them, I hope they succeed. Check out their site, my zero waste - there's lots to see and do!

Grrrr
I finally get 2 minutes to read some blogs, and add them here ..... and the blinking technology says 'No'
So I will add today's newest most inspirational and interesting finds in this post instead:
http://www.62cherry.blogspot.com/
http://down---to---earth.blogspot.com/
http://bollewangenhaptoet.blogspot.com/
All of which, coincidentally happened to be other blogspots, but I found them elsewhere whilst drifting among other more erudite blogs!
Must go, the 2 yr old is downstairs shouting 'Mummy, tuck me in, you need to tuck me in, tuck me in ....." ad infinitum. The joys of motherhood are very, very, small today, people.
