Relaxing with color

A post-covid-realization is that I've fallen out of the practice of verbal communication. I've really enjoyed the space. I've really enjoyed the solitude. I've really enjoyed the privacy. I'm conflicted about whether or not I want to return. And if I do, how so.

So I thought I might start here.

My covid lockdown began energetically. I ran, I pickled, I baked, I tackled household projects. I had a daily journal where I ticked off my accomplishments, with a system l'd been using successfully for years. I can't find a moment when that changed. But it did.

I slowed down.

A lot.

Mended Jeans

Found some old kimono scraps to add a few new layers of patches. I've pulled together mending kits which include scraps of cotton cloth and the indigo dyed, poly core thread I use I'm my mending. The thread is very strong, and the natural indigo dye is perfect with denim. I've also made small skeins of the thread available. Contact me if you're interested in larger skeins of thread. I can dye larger quantities to order.
