Today, it's all about table cloths, in the sincere hope that there will be more al fresco meals this year. Although you can, of course, use them inside. These beauties were made in Ghana by members of the Global Mamas group. They are 100% organic cotton.

Just had a delivery of laundry baskets and shoppers from Ghana. I often wonder what the delivery men think as they turn up at our house in a quiet little town and I (a rather older woman) answer the door. These will be on the website just as soon as I get them photographed. Lovely things, yet again #fairtrade #handmade #Ghana #sisalbaskets #storagesolutions #ecofriendly #homedecor #weneedabiggerhouse

True recycling from Cycle of Good. This useful basket is made from pallet tape, which is usually discarded. A good place to store those magazines you have to keep going back to? Website in bio. #fairtrade #handmade #madeinMalawi #upcycled #magazinerack #storagesolutions #Injabulo #CycleofGood

My Mothers Day present from my daughter still doing well, and now looking even better in a Hadithi craft basket from Kenya. The plant is in a normal plant pot, standing on a saucer. Why not have a look at all the other baskets, of different sizes and colours, on the website. See bio.

Sometimes you can end up with a lot of spare yarn

Sometimes you can end up with a lot of spare yarn when you come to the end of a project. I like to sort it into toning colours to help me think of a good way of using it all. This set of 3 organic cotton storage pots from Global Mamas is just what you need to keep things under control.

A good place to keep your crochet hooks especially

A good place to keep your crochet hooks especially if, like me, you have a large range of sizes. Mine were inherited from various family members. These useful supply cases were made in Ghana by women working with the Global Mamas group. The outer fabric is 100% organic cotton and the lining is made from recycled flour bags.

#woolfestonline2021 Our bowls made from telephone

#woolfestonline2021
Our bowls made from telephone wire are a testament to ingenuity when people are desperate! They are intricately made by Zulu men working in the mines, where they discovered offcuts of plastic covered telephone wire in a myriad of bright colours. They weave them into beautiful little bowls which are decorative in their own right, but can also be used to hold fruit etc.

#woolfestonline2021
I visited Rwanda about 4 years ago, and met lots of groups of women working together to improve the lives of their families; I am very happy to be able to work with some of them through Injabulo and to do more as I expand the business. These women were so very welcoming; I have never had so many hugs in such a short time!
They make a variety of lovely items, including decorative wall art in all sizes, fabric animals and baskets.

These little lidded storage baskets are intricately woven from the local indigenous straw which is also used for weaving hats. They are more intricate than the bigger baskets and I am sure you don't need me to suggest how you might use them!
