Ich hab am Wochenende genäht*

In meiner 1 L Edelstahlflasche ist oft Tee, heiß im Winter (aber zu kurz), kalt im Sommer (s.o.).
Darum hab ich eine innere Isolierung aus einem eingelaufenen Wollpulli gemacht und eine äußere aus kaputter, zu kleiner Juniorjeans gemacht.
Sehet mein Werk.

*in meinem Fall muss man das allerdings eher 'basteln' nennen.

Seitenansicht der Isolation aus Ärmel eines Wollpullis. Farbe burgunderrot.
Bodenansicht der zweiten Isolation aus Kinderjeans. Farbe grau, es wurde wieder sternförmig vernäht.
Seitenansicht der fertigen Isolation an der Flasche. Die Jeans endet oben als offener Kragen, da ist mir noch nichts besseres eingefallen.

I hate writing posts.

So, I guess I'm an now. It's not so much that my values have changed, though a few of them have. Mostly it's that the meanings of the old labels have changed.

For instance, in the 80s I was a because I believed in less government. Now I'm an anarchist for the same reason.

Former . Mississippian. Recovering racist - of the "don't see color" variety - so I had never confronted the deeply buried racism I didn't realize was there, implanted by my upbringing and culture.

I love to kittens and promote good pet health and training. I'm interested in landscaping with native plants. I think of things to write or sing all the time, so is one of my big hashtags.

Left Mississippi at 19 and was gone for over 30 years. So a lot of stuff has changed, but most stayed the same. A lot more people recognize me than I them, and I'm unhappy about that. Big gaps in my memory and bad at recognition.

I love rustic living so I spend a lot of time at deer camp. Interested in natural building techniques, reusing materials, and . Probably also.

Hey I'm Alicia, an artist who really hasn't been feeling social media lately (especially IG and FB) so I thought I'd try Mastodon out and see if I like the simplicity of it more. I think I picked the perfect server, since I'm much more likely to be in my sunny garden than anywhere else. :BlobCat_Love: 🌞

My interests include
#art #wool #dyeing #watercolor #flowarts #gardening #cats #dogs #reptiles #languagelearning #writing #reading and #mandala making.

I have a family business called Fibre2Fabric where we dye all sorts of fibre, yarn, and fabric and I want to get into #upcycling clothes some more!

Hope I get to meet some cool people the algorithm would drown out on other apps.

Friend and I had a conversation earlier about thrift/2nd hand stores and how ridiculous the pricing is in Finland and Sweden.
Most of the better quality clothes cost almost the same as new same one.
I would really want to buy my clothes in 2nd hand more often but there is no point for me to pay near full price on item I can get as new :/

How are thrift/2nd hand stores in your country?

Wanted to use up the small pieces of this floral chintz and the front bodice piece of a mock-up and thus whipped up most of this somewhat large 18th century pocket. It's missing a waistband tape which I apparently don't have in my stash! Cat hindquarters for scale.

And now my washing machine is also making a weird and incredibly distracting noise when it runs. I would presume that piece of tech is not long for this world, either.

The EU Right to Repair law would be very nice, even a watered down version of it, but it deeply angers me that it won't help with any of the intentionally shoddily built things currently in the world. Fuck capitalism

In meinem Haushalt werden Plastikdosen abgewaschen und mindestens noch ein weiteres Mal benutzt.
Ich hab von meinem löslichen Kaffee (jaja, der böse Douwe Egberts) so schöne Gläser, die benutze ich auch gern.
Überhaupt werden Gläser ganz oft nicht weggeworfen, da sind Tee, Gummis oder Gewürze drin.

Habt ihr auch so einen Fimmel?
Vielleicht ein paar Inspirationen, was man noch Schönes wiederverwenden kann?

@Geisseltierchen
Machen wir auch. Unser Müsli, Mehl usw. ist in großen Gläsern von Pepperoni, die Gewürze haben wir in Honiggläsern (gut stapelbar)... Das ist ja alles viel zu schade, um es wegzuwerfen. Die Gewürzsammlung werde ich demnächst auf Pesto-Gläser umstellen, weil platzsparender.

Hey , I’ve been seeing these abandoned real estate flyer boxes around town. It’s pretty clear that whatever company installed and utilized them gave up and left them to become eyesores during the early months of Covid.

So I decided to liberate one from its shackles and give it a new life as a box.

If you see one, you should too. If you want one and can’t find one, let me know. I have eyes on a few more nearby.

Meine Kapuzenjacke hatte ein Loch, dort wo die Tasche aufgesetzt ist. Es ist eine blöde Stelle für ein Loch. Aber ich mag diese Jacke.
Also habe ich das Beste daraus gemacht - und weil ich Drachen mag, guckt jetzt ein Drache aus der Tasche.
Leider sind die Bilder etwas durcheinander geraten.

Found this grubby metal chair in our shed (the previous homeowner kindly left us everything they owned). Spent a couple of days painting it & fashioned a new seat (from a plank of wood, a pillow insert & a tea towel). And now she looks quite pretty!

Sad & neglected metal chair before makeover, covered in rust & bits of old paint. No seat at all.

Unglaublich, was sich auf einem Dachboden im Laufe von 30 Jahren ansammelt. Man hebt ja vieles auf, um es vlt. irgendwann doch noch zu brauchen.

Was sich nun rächt, weil wir nun eine Deckenisolierung anbringen. Und dazu wollen wir uns von vielem trennen, denn wohin mit dem Zeug, wenn der Boden möglichst frei sein soll?

Einiges bringen wir zum Flohmarkt, anderes einem Verein für , die den Erlös vom Verkauf ihrer Produkte spenden.

Ja, weniger kaufen - das wird die Lösung der Zukunft!
