Greetings Followers! 

It has been quite sometime since I have engaged on this forum, for which I am deeply apologetic.

I have found myself "caught up" with consultancies and my son, that sitting in front of the laptop outside of work proved itself challenging--almost disruptive to the little bit of escapism that I could afford myself. 

However, as the COVID-19 Pandemic has become the dictator of our movements, fieldwork has alluded me. Working from Home--something that I have always done--has become my only norm, and gallivanting into the deepest crevices of the earth will have to be put on pause. 

In the meanwhile, revisiting the blog is something that I will prioritise. I have continued to have conversations surrounding sustainable, ethical lifestyles. Now, it is to continue to have them here.

Moonbasket, founded in 2009 by Dani Le Roy, works collaboratively with women from a community-based project on the outskirts of Cape Town to create beautifully crocheted homewares with a contemporary feel. Crochet remains one of the few crafts that cannot be replicated by machine - an interesting fact to consider in the technology vs traditional skills debate. Materials are natural or local where possible and the light shades are particularly spectacular.
