I'm Julie, and I live with my husband and three young daughters in New South Wales suburbia, Australia. This is the online journal I kept until recently, of how we are trying to live more simply & sustainably in suburbia.

This blog is on indefinite hiatus but please feel free to look around my archives for some inspiration in your own journey to living more lightly and sustainably.

Handmade Help - aprons & recipes request

Another quickie - Hand Made Help is asking for handmade aprons and for your contribution to a Handmade Help Recipe Book which will be distributed to families who have lost their homes, and will be available to buy as a PDF (proceeds donated of course). Read more about the recipe book here, and then check out some of the gorgeous items being sold worldwide to raise funds, or organise a sewing bee yourself.

I am a pretty basic sewer and have been contemplating several simple softie toys, but kids' aprons I can do! And a lot of them - what a great stash-buster. Check the blog for drop-off points or mailing addresses.

Now I'm off for some basic but yummy recipes to contribute!

This is a fantastic idea. How about you post a recipe in the format you would like them typed and it may make it heaps easier for the editors.
Eg Tablespoons or Tbs
Teaspoon or tsp.
Ingredients in order of use.
Just a suggestion, I shall forward some recipes soon.
Good luck with the project.

Hi Maggie,
I can't see anything on the Handmade website to indicate how they would like the recipes typed out, I just copied several recipes as I had them written up and forwarded them to Gill at their email address: handmaderecipes@gmail.com. Use "RECIPES" as the header.

Cheers, Julie
