Skipping five days instead of three for every hair wash has been altogether beneficial. Even though it took a while to getting used to, my hair has never felt healthier, plus it saves water, mula, time & stuff.

Made my first pair of trousers

WOHOO, I now have a pair of trousers to wear for work tomorrow. I have been inspired by some particularly creative friends, thank you Brigs, Beth, Ella & Eva, to sew.  Thanks mum for the sewing machine and your excellent seamstress example.  I took a pair of trousers I liked and fitted me well, turned them inside-out folded in half with the back bits on the inside, and cut 2 front pieces.  Then folded the front bits on the inside and cut the two back pieces.  I sewed of course the two wrong pieces together first, tee hee, and after unpicking that it was easy to see which ones went together. I was also extremely brave(I think so anyway), after reading the zip instructions that came with my sewing machine I attempted the zip and won! The best part was I didn't have to buy the material, it was something I wanted to use up from another project. Yay for reducing waste :)

Combating the"I have nothing to wear" syndrome

Swop party's help to mix it up a little(check the white cardigan). Adapt those boring or misfit item(check the sleeves cut off of the grey number). Spruce it up a little(easy to make flower detail from material cut-offs). Now big smiles- a completely new outfit :-)

sisters are doing it for themselves

Tonight on the 7pm project I was challenged to do something! Even our Prime Minister is washing her clothing in cold water - how very exciting, if 1 woman can make a difference, imagine what 1 million women can do? Come on ladies lets make small changes to change big things.
Renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead once said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
