Paper and Cloth

Soaking Grains

While I’ve been on my blogging hiatus, I’ve delved yet deeper into nutrition and how our family eats. I’ve been soaking my beans for quite some time, but recently ventured into the grain soaking arena as well. Intimidated at first, once I got going, it was surprisingly less time consuming and required less planning then initially anticipated. We now soak our rice, millet and quinoa and I'm confident our bodies are absorbing more nutrients this way.

A Brief Interruption

Paper and Cloth has been neglected for too long. Clearly, I find it hard to multi-task — I have given all of my creative energy to A Drawing Project for the past couple of months. It’s not that I haven’t thought about this space, because I have and often, but it was also important for me to delve into art making for a focused period of time. In my time away I realized how very nourished I am with when I have time to knit, sew, craft and tend to my home. I hope to find balance, and peace, between these two worlds in which I often feel divided.

Above is a bit of exploration done around week ten at A Drawing Project.
