I ususally take my jars along to @realfoodexeter and fill them with white sesame seeds to make tahini, but sadly they are out of action during lockdown. Instead, I've been buying my packaging free… https://t.co/EJwFQYpU53

Here's our crop of homegrown spinach. It only weighs 40g, which equates to half a portion of veg. I harvested it from over 50 little spinach plants so just goes to show how much space and time and resources goes into… https://t.co/R18f6aGU0s

We didn't avoid Easter egg packaging all together as the kids were still given a few from relatives, so I made the packaging into a junk journal for my daughter. There are lots of pockets and tuck spaces filled with… https://t.co/lbmaU2xNGM

My click and collect order from @FvjMosquera. I'm so grateful that they've managed to stay open during this crisis and have found a way to trade safely. Obviously having customers come in and fill their own jars is… https://t.co/h2XfgVHeTq

Morris dancers have been prevented from dancing together due to social distancing, so today morris dancers up and down the country danced in their gardens as part of the Lone Morris Festival. This was my… https://t.co/JM8uFJW0WQ

I've been adding to the Easter range at @EDPDrugAlcohol with these recycled copper Easter egg pendants. I used different materials to put through the rolling mill with the copper to create the textures. It's all… https://t.co/9X5NYhmZWK

I find myself getting inspired by wine bottles at the moment (not just the contents). Peeling off labels, taking rubbings of the designs. Not sure where it's taking me, just going with the flow. I've always been… https://t.co/6xvA0FcYft

One of the volunteers at @EDPDrugAlcohol has been cutting out bunnies for Easter. I was tasked with soldering on the jump rings.

I practically never buy clothes for my children as we get given so many hand-me-downs it's just not necessary. However I needed socks for my daughter so I popped into the… https://t.co/kZc77WH5kN

That white bar of soap is a bar of dish washing soap. Rather than adding detergent to the water you rub your brush on it, then scrub the dish.
