In looking for videos to research on permaculture to go along with my reading (I'm a hands-on girl, but visual is second best for me) I found this gem:

I hope you find inspiration from this short reminder of what we, as humans, are truly called to do.  --Tess

Loving this thread!!  I have been watching the spread of pollinator/meadow lawns  grow, to my utter delight!  Here is a video, more than just wildflower lawns, by Andrew Millison.  He is amazing.  I know there are others just as amazing, I watch several of them as well.  But I would love to bring this idea to the city where I live. If we can get policy changed, people excited about it (saves them $$$ for one), and support Nature and our fellow species what a much better world we would live in!  --Tess

Registered!!! THANK YOU for the share. --Tess

I JUST started weaving this past year. Love it. Hate it. But I do love it.  Is that normal?  Learning just how to work with the loom, a wooden frame I got on amazon early last year.  As well as different materials best for a beginner.  Have a new grandbaby that came last March & have been a bit busy with his cuteness overload. Getting back to a few hobbies I want to hone into more steady skillsets.  

I love how you are using Nature as inspiration, and even narrowing it down.  The pictures you posted are truly inspirational!  I look forward to any pics you may share with us.  --Tess

Mart, LOVE this!! Aanndd you can re-use the cups over again, I would assume. Collecting the plant containers can take a bit of time, but a quick buy of solos and storing them over off season is a win-win. Awesome!! Cabbage is one of my go to foods year round, I can't wait to have a place to start my own permaparadise! ---Tess

Thank you Mike!!  Very new to the community and deeply appreciative for your direction on this!!  Did not know that there was a dustpan one. Not sure why that didn't come up in previous posts, but glad it did now  Did I just not see it in the list?  That is likely...my apologies on that. --Tess

Thank you, Anne!  I am still in the research aspect of this idea. I will likely have to put it off until I am i bit more settled. But nothing wrong in gathering as much info as I can now.  

FROM ANOTHER POST (told to post my Qs here):  https://permies.com/wiki/148310/PEA-Badge-Metalworking

Hello All!  I am looking to try the rmh (scoop) project, but instead of the rmh (scoop), can I make a long-handled dustpan? Being an apartment dweller, that would seem more practical for me, it is basically the same thing.

My BIG question: if a project requires a specific item, but due to circumstances (space, financial, or necessity/practicality or local/lease rules) can we adjust the project while still maintaining the principle/core theme of the project?  Thanks!!  --Tess

I don't mean to be a pain or pusher of boundaries, but my circumstances are VERY precarious at the moment as far as my housing is concerned. But I really think I can do this project with a highly successful product.  Thanks!

So sorry, in the PEA list, it says rmh in reference to the scoop tool.  I didn't realize rmh was a heater. I learn something new every time I post! I will also go to the thread given for my questions. My thoughts are for the PEA: instead of a scoop could I make a dustpan that I can actually use, instead of a product that is just going to take up space & do nothing. Also, I don't buy soda, especially in cans. Can I use another type of metal to make the products?  I'm just trying to problem solve the materials issue, if I can still do the basic idea, I'd just use what I have on hand,  Thanks!  --Tess

I can do several of the other projects on the list with materials I have on hand. It is sometimes unclear as to what is expected: it seems that, especially for the PEA, it could be a bit more open to individual circumstances - what am I going to do with a scoop for cleaning ash when I could use a long-handled dustpan instead. My impression is that we both acquire skills while at the same time, be mindful to repurpose, re-use, recycle what we have.  My apologies if I appear to be overstepping, that truly is not my intention.  Thank you.
