Good stuff: Links & likes

One of my goals for 2015 is to make more, so this cross stitch writing tool will be perfect for doing some cute cross stitch quotes (via Rachael).

Weirdly, the same day I posted a piece about PETA on The Hungry VeganFat Gay Vegan also wrote a piece. If you've ever been disappointed that an organisation purportedly interested in social justice perpetuates the oppression of women in their advertising, I'd suggest taking a read.

How amazing is this book clutch how-to, from A Beautiful Mess? Definitely goes to the top of the to-make list.

I loved this piece by author Jenny Colgan on the "little parcels of cheer" that make her happy.

Kirsty has very kindly made a free-to-print version of her recent mini-zine about how to organise a clothes swap: go forth and swap!

I'm a bit late with this, but Sarah came up with an ace list of 31 things to do in January. I find small goals like this so much more achievable than vague resolutions such as, "Get fit."

An inspiring piece from The Guardian about the local men and women working on the frontline of Ebola care in Sierra Leone.

  4. I've been meaning to do the book clutch for a while, I have even got a little pile of hardback books from a guides weekend where we used old book pages to make some crafts.
