  • Say it with knitting!

    Whether it be on your clothes, a cushion cover or a patchwork blanket – you can say it with knitting! First of all decide what you want to write.  Then make a plan. You’ll need some squared paper which you can buy or make yourself.  Each square on the paper will represent one stitch on…

  • Sunday April 13th

    It’s National Scrabble Day! We love a good game of Scrabble as much as the next person but it’s even better when you make it vegan scrabble! Give your game a vegan theme by stipulating that all the words must be related to veganism! It’s not as narrow as you might think.  You could have any…

    It’s National Licorice Day!

  • Raw Carrot Cake

    In celebration of …. life! This is my modest version of Fully Raw Kristina’s Birthday Carrot Cake I didn’t have all the ingredients on her list, nor the equipment (Vitamix and food processor) so I made do with what I had and made my own version.  Making raw recipes is a great idea for children to…

  • This looks amazing!

    I am dying to give this one a go – will my BL 30 Manual Juicer be up to doing the work of a vitamix blender and a food processor for this spectacular recipe? Well, it hasn’t let me down so far.  I’ll give it a try and let you know 🙂

  • Look what I’ve found!

    Remember when we had a go at growing our own apple trees from seed?

I can’t wait to have a go! It just makes…

  • Make some sugar-free jam – you know you want to!

    If you want jam but not sugar (nor other added sweetener either) then this is the recipe for you! In the inventor’s own words “This recipe for strawberry jam does take some time to make in the absence of sugar or a natural sweetener, but the end result is pure strawberry goodness. It is definitely sweet…

  • Ladybird Ladybird

    Ladybirds are good for the garden as they will eat the insects that hurt your plants.  A ladybird house, as well as planting things they like (like dandelion and fennel), will encourage ladybirds to stay in your garden because it provides them with a safe roosting place during cold and frosty nights in early spring…

  • Don’t forget to wave

    Prompted by our new and exciting interest in growing our food we’ve found something garden-related for you to enjoy 🙂 And if, after that, you’re feeling inspired, as we are, to indulge in some forest gardening, take a look at this gem of a blog I found yesterday – Of Plums and Pignuts – it’s choc full…

  • Grow your own apple trees

    One day we caught the bus into the city and on the way, in the middle of nowhere, the bus stopped to pick someone up.  Right next to the bus stop, on the wide grass verge, was a large apple tree.  It was full of apples.  An apple tree, in the middle of nowhere, by…

    This game is simple.  You can play alone or with friend(s).  All you have to do is turn over the question cards (play the videos 🙂 ) one at a time. Either write down your answers (if you’re all answering the same question) or say your answer aloud (if you’re taking it in turns and…

    At Red Ted Art they’ll show you how to make lots of cute snowmen out of toilet rolls and old socks and then you can play skittles with them! And you don’t need to use plastic goggly eyes or felt – you can draw on the eyes and buttons or stick on some actual buttons that you’ve…

  • Re-Knitting

    Knitting is a very enjoyable hobby as well as being a very useful skill.  To be able to make your own clothes, toys and accessories is a brilliant way of being self-reliant and can also be eco-friendly. As a vegan shopper you won’t want to buy wool or alpaca or silk, but as an eco-minded…

  • Make Your Own “Helping Venus” Game

    * Venus works hard trying to clean up the rubbish in the ocean in order to save the animals who are being poisoned and ensnared by it.  But since 80% of the rubbish in the oceans originates on land, it’s impossible for her to keep her beloved sea clean.  So, the rest of us need to…
