#needleworkmonday: how to keep your favourite clothes forever | the hemp revolution | win 40 SPI
Source - Shared from DLikeExtending the life of your wardrobe is good for the planet and your finances. Experts give their tips on how to make your outfits last as long as possible.
To be honest, some of them are totally naff, and life is too short for others, but the article is worth a look for some tips.
Meanwhile, in another part of the blockchain, I came across the Hemp Revolution, posted by @depot69. This has some devastating footage of the environmental damage taking place, and talks about hemp as a sustainable textile.
Thanks to @depot69 for bringing this to my attention in this post
Free SPInvest Raffle
I won the #needleworkmonday anniversary prize last week, and I would like to share it with members of the #needleworkmonday community. UPDATE TUESDAY 8 AUGUST 18:00 BST: THIS OFFER IS CLOSED NOW.
SPInvest is holding a raffle for 40 SPIs with each entry costing 1 steem (all proceeds will be invested in SPInvest and powered up).
I will buy one entry for each #needleworkmonday member who:
- posts in #needleworkmonday by 7pm UTC today (Monday 5 August 2019) and
- meets the #needleworkmonday posting guidelines and
- leaves a comment below.
You can buy additional entries yourself - see @spinvest's post about the raffle for more information.
I wrote about SPInvest on Saturday - it's a great way to invest and save regularly.
The idea behind SPInvest is that all Steem investments by investors are powered up and leased for at least 20% APR; the income derived from leasing Steem Power is reinvested in more leases or in off-chain investments, for example, other crypto-currencies like Bitcoin and precious metals. At regular intervals, the total holdings are re-evaluated and the token - SPI - is re-valued. Investors can either sell back their tokens to SPInvest or trade them through Steem-Engine.
If you decide to buy some SPI tokens yourself, please make sure that you take heed of the risks:
- there is no formal governance or agreement in place yet, although @spinvest has published a draft agreement.
- "not your keys, not your coins".
And as @neoxian puts it so sweetly in a big fat disclaimer:
My ... tokens are just digital pieces of fluff, and may never be worth anything. Be very cautious in purchasing any tokens, including mine ... don't invest more than you can afford to lose.

It would be great if people would actually take note of some of these tips, but not even that is needed just take away the mindset of only being able to wear certain items of clothing once and gosh it would make a big difference.
Hey Chick, thank yu so much for pushing this 40 SPI raffle, you've sold more tickets than i have from my personal account. I'm gonna be lazy and make it todays post in a hope you get some more extra tickets sales before i draw in 48 hours.
Thanks you for all the help you are giving me and support shown from day 1
Cool :) I hope some entrants will become regular investors.
Great idea to do a @spinvest post - I'm surprised more SPI investors haven't entered, but maybe they aren't following @silverstackeruk.
I'm just waiting on the last entrants here - I'll transfer the last ones this evening :)
The post direct from @spinvest seemed to have worked better
makes sense - and it's cleared the forty shares, too!
Oh no I missed that you won!! Congratulations and I will immediately search for the right @needlework post.
And again, thank you for this opportunity, your generosity and for the explanations, which I must read again. I am not sure if it’s my bad English or my missing ‘cryptogenes’ :-DD but I have problems to understand everything (at the first time) - but I will persists. And your posts are a great help for me.
My #needleworkmonday post for today is rather short, so I am not sure if it meets the criteria, but nevertheless, here it is

Lovely to have you here, and I'm sure it will all make sense eventually 😎
You are always keeping our community informed and supported! You are awesome! Thanks so much for the information. I won’t get around to making a post today but I wanted to comment to let you know how much I appreciate your care for others and your eagerness to keep us all informed on new opportunities ~ ❤️
My pleasure - I'm putting a share in for you because 🙊🙉🙈 otherwise there would be no #needleworkcommunity 💕
😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗 You are so sweet!
Thank you so much ~ 😘☺️
Yeeeeesssss ❤️ Thank you both!!!
Thank you again @shanibeer for another useful information! I am losing track with all the tokens and coins that are magically appearing on steem-engine and figuring out what to do with them. I am quite interested about SPI. Basically, we buy the SPIs based on their 1.10STEEM price and they will invest for us, is that right?
I made my post for today: https://steempeak.com/needleworkmonday/@marblely/needleworkmonday-enjoying-my-slow-knit-of-knitting-squares hehe. Thank you @shanibeer!
Hellooooo, you are in!
Yes, you're absolutely right, you buy SPIs for 1.1 steem and it is powered up and invested for you. Every so often, the value of the holdings (including new earnings) are re-valued and the value of the SPI token (hopefully) increases. The next milestone is 25,000 tokens sold (I think we are at 10,500 so far).
Cool! Thank you for the raffle ticket :)
