New phase


So, many things have changed since my last post - woah - over three years ago. Melania moved to WA, Hannah moved to Newcastle, I moved three times - all around Brisbane. But what hasn't changed, is my drive to learn new things. So, we begin a new chapter in SkillCycle. I'm excited to have it back in my life in an official way. It never really left, I never really stopped learning - but documenting things in this format has been something I've missed.

I think I'm going to start back into it with a sewing day very soon. It's one of my favourite ways to spend an afternoon. Gather a few people together with a couple of sewing machines and mend and repurpose a few pieces you of your clothing while catching up and eating food.

I hope you'll join me at a SkillCycle day soon or think about hosting one of your own one day.

Free Library

I recently stumbled across a link to any amazing project called Little Free Library on Hip Girl's Guide to Homemaking. It started in the States and basically involves a weather proof box where you leave books you want to share with the neighbourhood. Locals borrow the books and then bring them back, same as you would with a regular library. People even contribute their own books.



It seems like a wonderful way to encourage community, sharing and reading. I wonder if it could take off here?
