The crafting room in my home is dismantled and now I've found a place to pass on my over flowing fabric stash and other stuff too. . Such a great idea, as crafting does become a bit obsessive and we all feel better after a declutter right ?

Calling all community artists! We are looking for artists to work with local schools in Hartlepool to create illuminated props, costumes and choreography for Wintertide’s magical Opening Parade on the Headland, Friday 24 November. The theme this year is IGNITE so let your imagination run wild!
There is a fee of £500 for each artist plus a separate budget for materials.
You must have Public Liability Insurance and a current DBS and you must be able to facilitate two workshops in schools between 6-20 November.
Interested? Please send images of your previous work to kim@greenerlavelle.co.uk by Friday 13 October. We can’t wait to see your submissions! Please include image descriptions.
Image Description: Advertising graphic with black background. The word wintertide is written alongside the logo in white. ARTIST CALL OUT is written beneath. Also in white it says “WINTERTIDE returns, so come gather in, we’re launching this year’s festival with FIRE & FIN.” The fire and fin text is turquoise blue and orange. It has a horizontal flare coming from the side of the word Fire which is also orange and blue and resembles the shape of a fin. The text continues in white with “…a magical parade of wonder and light, a toast to the coast, get ready... IGNITE” Beneath this are logos from Arts Council England, Tees Valley Community Foundation and Greener Lavelle.

Shop bought veg lasts so much longer than our organic allotment produce....why ... among other methods Irradiation....see pic 5-6 . They tell us it's safe !. I'm not convinced. By freezing the cooked veg separately on trays before bagging up ,means you can remove as much or as little as you like , otherwise it'll come out as a big lump !.
Also heard of Apeel ? . Sprayed on grub to last longer ...if it's man made in a lab how will they know the true long term effects? .

Did you know I sell DIY solid shampoo packs ...just the same formula as Totes Eco used to sell. Paraben and sulfate free , vegan friendly, just add any scents or natural colours (know your % per grams ) and you've got your own shampoo bar. If you have nice silicone molds you can make them as gifts too. As camping season comes around these are gentle for your skin and make a brilliant 2 in 1 bar for holidays where you don't want bulky liquids or spillage in luggage.

10% discount for Hartlepool local drop offs.

Who's feeling ready for spring ?. On the home straight I'd say. Try as I do,I still struggle with low moods through winter , I've learned to slowdown but it's not my natural state of being (ADHD traits) . I had already set some yearly goals for 2023 and one of them was plan something fun for each month to look forward to. So far in January i've watched Women's basketball in Newcastle and gone to a music gig in Stockton, February more Basketball,GB v Belgium Mens qualifier and a few meals out out !. March we have theatre tickets for a show Sunderland , April half term I shall try shoe horn the teenager into some go karting!!. 😂 . What joy do you have planned?

You know what I'm gonna say....leave your chain restaurants alone and support the little guys . Local shops work hard and they have bills to pay too . Individuality and passion , not drones with scripts as they take you to your seat.
