My daughter will spend tomorrow crocheting hats for the homeless in exchange for kind donations to her college trip fund. Please donate if you have a little to spare ♥️

My daughter has been selected to benefit from the Turing Scheme in S. Korea attending workshops at top animation studios but the college funding has fallen short so Phoebe wants to help them. She's going to spend a day crocheting hats for the homeless in exchange for sponsors.

This poem by Gwendolyn Brooks continues to be an anchor on hard days.
TO THE YOUNG WHO WANT TO DIE Sit down. Inhale. Exhale. The gun will wait. The lake will wait. The tall gall in the small seductive vial will wait will wait: will wait a week: will wait through April. You do not have to die this certain day. Death will abide, will pamper your postponement. I assure you death will wait. Death has a lot of time. Death can attend to you tomorrow. Or next week. Death is just down the street; is most obliging neighbor; can meet you any moment. You need not die today. Stay here-through pout or pain or peskyness. Stay here. See what the news is going to be tomorrow. Graves grow no green that you can use. Remember, green's your color. You are Spring.

£56 inc Uk p&p
Large wood clog with scorch marks around details. Details include bees, honeycomb, beehive and text that reads “little bee our Lord is dead, leave us not in our distress”.

Two photos, one showing side view, one front view. Oval wood slice with bark edge and burned design showing an orange octopus with green mossy bits and tiny white mushrooms growing on her. She sits under two red and white amanita mushrooms. There are plants in tones of brown and yellow that resemble gorse at either side. It is raining, the rain falls down across the scene and splashes on the deep green floor underneath the octopus. The huger background is a more vibrant green.

Reluctant sale! Purple crochet waistcoat, I sadly made it a bit too big. For reference I am a size 14, you can see in one photo how much I can pinch at the sides & crochet has some give to it. Price doesn’t reflect the time & material cost!
£55 incl uk p&p

Me and my husband, right before he went for a poo that took exactly the time it took me to wash up after Christmas dinner. He said that was pure coincidence….
Two tired 40 somethings standing in a small messy kitchen. The man on the left has a long beard and wears a waistcoat and bow tie over a white shirt. He has his arm around the woman on the right. She wears a long checkered brown dress over a short puff-sleeved yellow shirt. She has long scruffy blonde/brown hair. They both wear glasses. They are smiling, one because he knows he’s not going to help with the washing up and the other because he’s not fooling anyone.

E-books are reading.
Comics are reading.
Genre is reading.
Fanfic is reading.
Text-based games are reading.
Audiobooks are reading.
Braille books are reading.
Non-fiction is reading.
Picture books are reading.
There is no single way to read, nor is any reading style more worthy than another.

This! Also, leave things around to read, often kids will pick up a book to flick through if it looks interesting just sitting on the coffee table. Me & my kids always recommend books to each other too, always value, & be excited to read, their recommendation & they’ll likely be happy to read yours.

In this Year of Reading, a gentle reminder:
The best way to get your kids reading is to let them see *you* reading. The way to *stop* your kids reading is to criticize their choices, or to make reading a competition, or a punishment, or a race, or a learning tool. Let it be fun. Let them read.
