Buying mulch (and soil) in bulk means #noplasticbags go to landfill (they’re not recyclable). It also means I won’t have to worry about making multiple trips to the store, hurting my back carrying them or getting my car dirty 🙌

Let the #zerowaste garden season begin! 💚☀️🌱

[Tippi Thole @tinytrash_can]

I know what I’ll be doing over the Memorial Day weekend! 😅

I just received my annual delivery of bulk cedar mulch from a local garden center. This year I got 2 cubic yards to put around my garden beds and cedar hedge.

@YukonStrong @JRK_was_here @ianmiles Because men rape women (and children). Many abortion bans don’t make an exception for rape or incest.

[Tippi Thole @tinytrash_can]

@Eric112499 @ianmiles Yes, this isn’t all on women. The costs of housing, daycare and education are preventing many young people from having children.

[Tippi Thole @tinytrash_can]

@Sansa314159 @VerseusGreekus @ianmiles Another way to force women to have children: Make abortion and birth control illegal. Problem solved! This is what the Republican Party in the U.S. is doing rather than valuing women and motherhood 😠

@BeeDee6 @CharlotteEmmaUK Covid-19 appears to be oncogenic, meaning it has the ability to cause cancer in multiple organs. With so many people infected, we will likely see a significant rise in cancers.

Used cat litter made up about half my garbage bin with just one cat, so two cats means twice the litter. I doubt I can get back to one trash bin a year with my two furry friends, but they’re worth it 🤗

Here’s to a fresh start! 💚 Happy new year, everyone!

[Tippi Thole @tinytrash_can]

4 months of trash to the curb today, and it’s full of $h!T 😂

This bin filled up pretty quickly thanks to two major changes at our house: a new tile floor in my family room and a second cat 🐈🐈‍⬛ The tiling job was a one-time mess, but the cat is, well, a regular thing 😜

Meet Mocha, the newest member of our family 😍 We adopted this sweet, talkative girl in October. She was considered a compassionate adoption due to her skin condition, but we’re working on getting her better 🤗

The body and turtleneck are made from one sleeve, her sleeves are made from the neckband, and the hem is made from the original hem. If I need another sweater for her, I could make a second one out of this same sweater. Or I could fix it up so we’d have matching sweaters! 😂

I’m very happy with how my wreath turned out though my hands are still itching from the prickly juniper branches 😜 When I make next year’s wreath, I’ll look for balsam, cedar or pine branches 🌲

Today I made my first ever, evergreen wreath! 🤩
After several years, my artificial wreath finally gave out, littering the area where it was stored with plastic needles and Styrofoam berries 😢 So I took it apart, threw away the plastic parts and saved the frame for future use.

[Tippi Thole @tinytrash_can]

I cut off some branches with pruning shears then tied them to my metal frame using jute twine. I then attached some foraged pine cones with metal ornament hooks. For additional scents and texture, I stuffed in some dried lavender and pine needles from my yard 😊

[Tippi Thole @tinytrash_can]

@Cherry_cola604 I have the same question!

Need a cheap and easy #halloweencostume? I made this #DIY bat costume with a XXL black t-shirt I bought at a thrift store for $6 😃 I already owned the black halter top and yoga pants (both hand me downs) so all I had to do was make the wings! 👍

For bat ears, I made two mini buns with my hair—no waste there! 😆 Since I'll be wearing this #halloweencostume to a Latin dance party, I needed something that would be comfortable and easy to move in. This lightweight, stretchy costume idea would also be great for kids! 😊
