HOUSEKEEPING

Taking care of our living space is taking care of our health. Housekeeping can be drudgery, yet refreshes the soul when done well. It is a vital survival skill that maintains our dignity, keeps us organized, and safe.

“America ships tons of sugar cookies to Denmark and Denmark ships tons of sugar cookies to America. Wouldn’t it be more efficient just to swap recipes?” ― Michael Pollan
Just a recap of some of the things I’ve sewn and knitted this year. Pretty proud of my slow fashion endeavors! Happy New Year! 🎆
I’m being a little too dramatic, but how else are you supposed to act after sewing a pirate shirt? 🫣😉
It’s getting cozier as the holidays approach! Leave Santa some hot cocoa, chocolate chip cookies M&M’s cookies, and brown sugar cookies. Recipes are available on my site via my profile!
As winter approaches, I want to look back at the beautiful flora and creatures I learned to appreciate this past fall and summer. I’m already missing the color, but from the ash colored scenery, life will burst again. #forestbathing #nature #flowers #cottagecore
Addicted to sweater knitting this year! This is the Amanda Sweater kit from @woolandthegang. It is made from 100% wool, and the color is eucalyptus. It knits up quickly if you’d like to make something in about twenty hours. #knitting #memadeeveryday #handmade #knits #knittersofinstagram #slowfashion #yarnaddict
