"Self-sufficiency does not mean 'going back' to the acceptance of a lower standard of living. On the contrary, it is the striving for a higher standard of living, for food that is organically grown and good, for the good life in pleasant surroundings... and for the satisfaction that comes from doing difficult and intricate jobs well and successfully." John Seymour ~ Self Sufficiency 2003

More recycling idea's


My blog reading hiccup is sorted - thank goodness :)  Frustrating while it lasted, and I didn't know what to do whilst drinking my morning cup of tea (giggle).  Even using Bloglovin was giving me hassles (on my smartphone).
Ah well, it's passed, and all is well in blogland again...
Over the past months I have lost and gained followers - but I would just like to give a quick welcome and thank you for hitting the followers button to my latest readers :

Thanks all - I appreciate your support :)


I came across these whilst browsing the net - regretfully, I forgot to keep the links.  But - the idea's are too good not to share.
Tak about gravity watering plants.  This gives
the concept a whole new meaning :)
Even though these are recycled milk bottles, I reckon that there is a certain beauty in their re-purposing :)
kymber - perhaps you and I should make some
entrance features with a couple of our tyres? ;)
The ingenuity of people never ceases to amaze me :)


Don't forget - if you'd like to score some piquanté pepper seeds which I am giving away, please leave a comment on

    Pioneer Preppy is always teasing Kymber about her repurposed tires. But lots of people use them. And, it's all in fun.

Thank you for taking the time to comment - it makes my day and removes the "loneliness' of sitting at my screen blogging supposedly to myself ;) I try and reply as quickly as possible so please forgive me if sometimes my response is delayed.
