Plastic yarn

  • 1. You will need
    This is a great recycling technique, transforming plastic carrier bags into yarn. The resulting yarn can be crocheted, woven or knitted into items such as rugs and bags.

Birthday weekend

Lil's birthday 2011 2

It's my daughter Lillie's birthday today... we had lunch together, both daughters and me, at the Buenos Aires Café in nearby Blackheath Village. Lillie looked so beautiful and chic in black 'bullfighter' trousers, secondhand black jacket and little brown suede boots and she tucked in very heartily – we both did – to Morcilla, an Argentine steak, rare, vegetables, chips and a robust Malbec. We followed it up with a Pimms in The Pelton. Happy Birthday, Lillie!
