MY CUP OF TEA Caprice Gourmand by Les Jardins de Gaia: organic green tea with rhubarb, strawberry and vanilla. With white heather honey. 2. A HANDMADE WARDROBE I am wearing my Day Tripper Top by Shwin Designs.The fabric is from Toto Tissus. 3. EVENTS Gentle Along Craft something that makes your life more gentle. Cosy socks, a shawl, a blanket, a tea cosy... Does not need to be cast on specifically for this, and multiple-dipping is of course fine. Can be any craft. Let's share ways in which we are mindfully gentle to ourselves. People have been sharing inspirational thoughts and projects in the Ravelry group. You can use the tag #gentlealong on Instagram.
