I am excited to announce a new project I have been working on which has finally launched! Almost a year ago a friend emailed me asking if I would be interested in contributing to her newest project – a magazine filled with things to do with our children, handwork, craft, gardening, homesteading, whole foods, and treading gently on this earth. Of course I said yes, and am happy to announce I am a contributing writer and Whole Foods and Herbal Health Editor for TEND Magazine, an online quarterly publication. So many talented people contributed to this premiere issue – I am proud to be a part of it! "TEND magazine aims to be at the forefront of mindful living, focusing on environmental, sustainable concerns, providing information and aspiration, driving real environmental change through change at the individual level." "TEND magazine aims to nurture the bond between a parent and their child, between families and the earth, and between individual families to form community. It aims to strengthen the bonds and connections we have to each other and the earth, recognising and nourishing our natural dispositions to care for and educate our families in the ways that seem right to us. We aim to stir an awakening for the need to slow down, consume less and walk gently on the earth. We aim to be aspirational and utterly beautiful and design-lead. We like to grow some of our own food, support local farmers, eat as much healthy organic produce as we realistically can, gather with friends to enjoy home-cooked meals and to enjoy the bond of community. We encourage the need to consume less and make more, to envisage homesteading and sustainable living as realistic aspirations. " Inside this spring issue is something for everyone – ideas for the home, garden, crafting, knitting, sewing, activities and crafts for children, seeds, homesteading, whole food recipes, herbal DIY, foraging – almost 200 pages! So much goodness! The magazine website also has some lovely freebies - printable seed packets and a lovely bird drawstring bag tutorial which you can download right from the website, as well as a free bird embroidery pattern when you sign up for the newsletter! You can find TEND online at www.tendmagazine.co.uk, or visit the Facebook page (be sure to LIKE it so you can get updates!

It is SO exciting to see you involved in this, Denise!
