Light stripes are handspun merino/alpaca blend. The rest is Brown Sheep's Lamb's Pride. #weaving #weaversofinstagram #lambspride #handspun #corriedale #usingwhatIhave #usewhatyouhave

The start of our new event area. This space will be covered for picnics, workshops and events in case of rain. Using what we have - poles from the winter blowdown. #maregoldcentre #workingwithlogs #blowdown #buildingeventspace #usingwhatihave #polestructures #novascotiaretreat #retreatcenter https://www.instagram.com/p/Cef5a6_u3Sa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The syrup (réduction from a jar of spiced pears) from my last post was used to sweeten this batch of granola, therefore reserving my dwindling supply of maple syrup for another day. #usingwhatihave #usingmynoggin #nowaste #nowastedfood #nowasteliving #thrifty #frugal #youcandothis #quarantinelife #quarantinekitchen #stayathome #stayhealthy #keepingbusy #chef #tipsandtricks #frugalliving #makingsomethingoutofnothing #funinthekitchen (at Kelowna, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-nfqV4F7IR/?igshid=ot8vuvxiaesq

Heading out to Walmart to get shipping supplies and see what’s left of the food. #compromisedimmunesystem #canttouchmyface #usingwhatihave #coronavirissucks https://www.instagram.com/p/B-M0Sc1Dwqh/?igshid=fvwt621svqes

Okay this is supposed to be my year of #usingwhatIhave. But as I've said it before I'm a stationary geek and I'm also a #dealgrabber. So when my daughter and I stopped at Staples and they had a table of clearance items I caved and grabbed up those deals. Everything in this picture came to a whopping total of $5.00. I got a notepad, an undated planner in a nice reusable cover, a three pack of notebooks, a project tracker notebook, and a fancy stapler. She snatched up some stuff too. She needs to stop taking me shopping! Or I need to get some will-power. #yayforstationery #authorlife #writerslife #writerscommunity #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #plannerlover #stationarylover (at Warren, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7u3-VjA3Om/?igshid=1oy3mbp7e5g6t

Things that takes awhile to understand specially if you're struggling with anxiety/depression and bipolar issues. Just remember there would be days that you're completely elated, and there would be days where you feel like you can't make it. The important thing is to keep moving forward. #tryingmybest #doingwhatican #usingwhatihave #keepmovingforward https://www.instagram.com/p/BrZBVlIFP6tiEuFSBgcwtBt43oLdQcwQeYg9bg0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1765nln147xck
