Made/ 

With people panic buying tissues here in Australia, it made me reassess my own usage and finally get around to sewing up some hankies. In hindsight, I feel a tad guilty for not doing this sooner. Not only are hankies reusable but they're so much softer on the old nose.  I simply cut up an old pillowcase that I no longer needed, made rough rectangles and sewed the edges over so they wouldn't fray.  I've been using them for a few weeks and they just require being thrown into my weekly wash and they come back perfectly clean :)

When we first moved into our new place, wecks jars were the first thing I bought.  I'd been doing some reading about storing food in plastics and was keen to go the glass direction.  I first caught onto wecks when we were dining at one of our favourite cafes and they served our smoothies in wecks jars.  I straight away googled the brand and a few weeks later I had made a bulk order.  A year on, almost all of our food is stored in wecks jars.  The only downside is I've caused a few chips around the top edges.  I think the chips were most likely caused by not aligning the lid properly when closing.  I would definitely recommend them, I would just advocate being extra careful when closing.

Gifted/

Some beautiful passionfruit from my friend's parents's vine.  Passionfruits were one of the first plants I put in our garden - 4 vines in total!  One of the vines bloomed a few weeks back so I'm hoping my own passionfruit aren't far off from fruiting :)

YUM!
