Just sent a letter to my MP asking for the PM to show up to COP. I edited the template to explain how popular climate/environment action is, and how, for example, renewables are popular across the political spectrum. Also pointed out the weather this year.

Good choice! Those ones have a nice texture as well

Onion Blossom @onionblossomshop.bsky.social · Oct 6

Good! There's a lot more of the white lace

Onion Blossom @onionblossomshop.bsky.social · Oct 6

Do you like black or white lace better? I'm not saying I'm gonna make what you want, but I'll hear your opinion, sure 💚

Imagine one of these frogs as a handbag. Would you use a bag like that?

A tray spattered with old pain in many colours, covered with painted bottle tops in the process of being turned into badges with initials on them. Some are painted with black and white stripes, and some are bright lime green with a black letter of the alphabet on them. Assorted letters. There is a bottle of glue in the corner.

When you're looking at clothes, do you prefer a small, discrete logo, or do you like when a big logo IS the design?

You may have seen hook & bar fasteners on work trousers, but they're usually not visible. How do you feel about them being on the outside like this?

An unfinished sewing project, a black bodice that fastens in the middle with hook and bar fasteners sewn on the outside

The hook part of the fastener on the underside of the unfinished garment, the bit that is recognisable from its use in smart trousers, whereas the rest of the fastener is usually hidden
