Day 344 – REcircle pops up!
Saturday 10th December 2011. We opened our pop up store today, in the basement of Turtlewings at rue Washington 165, 1050 Brussels.

Day 282 – Guest blogging
5.30pm Sunday. I’m allowed to cheat today and not post here, as I have just written a guest blog for Julie Anne at Turtlewings. So exciting to blog on another site, and to wait patiently for the ok to publish. So as soon as it happens, I’ll link you in here, just to prove it … Continue reading

Day 174 – Take a good look at life around you……..

The team were co-hosting an evening introduction to ‘Art Journalling’. I need no further excuse to convince our student Sophie to babysit, while I … Continue reading
Day 125 – Slow Knitting……
Thursday night was our Slow Design night at Turtlewings. We needed to take a project with us, the idea was to sit and chat while working on something we just can’t find the time to do at home. Easy I thought, I have 501 things that I never get the chance to do, but scanning … Continue reading
(No Diet) Day 27 – Do you go with the flow, or swim against it?
This week was such a weird week. My job changed again (with no notice). My kids were sick. My husband crashed the car. A good friend of mine was sacked. And there was this huge feeling of ‘lets end the week and move onto the next’. Luckily for me tonight, I am off work tomorrow, … Continue reading
