Another quickie article for convenient referencing only.
z. Yarn Weight Thickness
The different yarn weights and thicknesses. To be used only as a quick, handy guide – not as a limiting definition.
This is not a lengthy, definitive article. There is no fixed universal terms and suggested hooks/needles. I am just jotting down these info as I am fed up with not remembering and having to Google for this info each time.
This article is incomplete. I will add more when I can find more standardised crochet hook sizes.

Z. Reupholstered Chairs with T-shirts and Fabric Remnants
So happy with our eclectic set of free reupholstered chairs. And I only used unwanted t-shirts and fabric remnants.
The chairs were free (thrown away!!!), I got a chance to learn how to reupholster chair seats, and I managed to recycle from my growing stash of fabric remnants. Who would not be happy?!!!

Nothing pretty here. A quick to-do as a reminder (for myself mainly) on how to make the Garden Maker Sticks.
Not so much the garden label or plant label, but the stick that one sticks in the ground and that holds the plant marker.
