The Enterprising Beginning.....

Welcome to the Waste not, Want knot project. The goal is to turn textile waste into desirable objects that people want. Its a combination of all those things our grandparents told us; waste not, want not, combined with modern day landfill avoidance, reduce, reuse, recycle, and a need to liberate a great collection of fabrics and trims amassed over a few years from the back of my wardrobe, under my bed, in the roof space etc.... I have a design degree and an addiction to textile arts and crafts, lets see where it leads....

Don't mow the lawn....




Its summertime which means lots of lazy days ignoring the need to mow the lawn. Inspiration hit one afternoon making daisy chains with Maddy( age 8). Maddy had commented on what a shame it was that the daisy chains didn't last very long, and I thought how great it would be to have immortal everlasting daisychains..... I had also been pondering how small was too smaller piece of felt to save before throwing them in the bin. The two thoughts colided and here is the result... my immortal daisychains and also some felted bangles with daisies!
