I looked at myself next to the woman beside me at church. She had her designer purse, it was beautiful. I had my handmade tote. She had a designer coat, it was lovely. I had my handmade scarf. So yeah, sometimes I feel a little holly homemade...but the truth is that I love making things, and as I get better at it, my look will improve. Another truth: I am a funky hippie at heart <3
Our local library had a really great knitting book. The images were lovely, I long to be good enough to recreate such lovely pieces....maybe someday. Now it was just good to have some coffee and look at a book of beautiful things.
Here are a few of my favs...
This bag is made with heavy kitchen twine that you knit with...interesting!
to me this is true beauty- very natural, simple and organic.

Wow you really impress me! Making your own clothes, bread, and tortillas! Oh, and raising two wonderful girls and taking care of a husband. How do you do it all! Inspiration.
