Cute fact I found out while looking up how to repot my aloe vera this weekend: the baby plants are called pups! Here are three of the many I potted up today.

Heads up brummies - cherry reds is being review bombed by fascists as they refused service to some anti-immigrant protestors yesterday. If you’ve ever had a nice drink or meal there then maybe today’s a good day to leave your own review.

Got out litter picking this morning for the first time in ages. Thought this black curly wig hiding among the leaves was some sort of fungus at first glance

I am trying something in November. National novel-reading month, basically. It is the PERFECT month for reading (at least in the Western hemisphere).

This weekend I finally finished the Factory dress by Merchant and Mills. The collar was FIDDLY, and there’s still a couple of little tucks left under it, so don’t look too close. But it’s comfy to wear and will do nicely as a light work dress, so a success. AND IT HAS POCKETS #garmentsewing

Got out early for a litter pick before the weather turns nasty. Nearly everyone I passed said good morning. Mood well and truly boosted.

We finished our cultural weekend in Oxford back at North Wall Arts Centre, for Rob Newman’s new show. It was a real tonic to see him. Live comedy is essential for my mental health. He’s on tour, go see him!

After seeing it a couple of times on here, I was inspired to make the Gladys top by Stitch Witch. First time doing princess seams, bagging out and little thin straps. Really pleased with it, a lovely little top for my daughter to go clubbing in

Idea for a future Sewing Bee recycle challenge: take 5 flags ripped down from lampposts and turn them into an outfit for the Notting Hill Carnival 😆
