It's wet and windy, a very stormy day. The kind of day would have us all looking for shelter (my word for 2012) sooner or later.
Shelter has a relatively simple definition, a place of refugee or protection. More than anything, as I think about shelter this year, I want to document how I create shelter, what kind of home maker am I, how I feather my nest...
Today's mending:
What if it is enough to know what is underneath something?
The silk/hemp fabric that I used for some of the squares on my "made of stars" blanket has frayed very badly. The fabric was a gift from my mother and I want to be be able to keep it where I can see it, but it's just not standing up to the wash and wear that I put this blanket through. And so I am layering fabric over the top of this fabric. The red in the background is the first piece that I have used to cover one of the silk/hemp squares.
What if we broaden our definition of a garden? Green onions anyone?
And my Dark Day's Meal for this week:
What if I make my own fruit/nut bars...make them just what I want them to be? They make a yummy breakfast with a bowl of local yogurt.
