Getting into natural dyeing on cellulose fabrics. Jack and I found a Black Walnut tree in the park this past week and crushed the walnuts and prepared them for dyeing. I had a piece of cotton that was previously dyed with Madder Root and decided to have my try at Shibori. Its a tedious stitching/dye technique but worth the results!

I have been enjoying a little quiet Momma time reflecting, writing,doodling, journaling, and pondering in my new Goddess 2012 Yearbook. What a great time to reflect and quiet down after the chaos of the Holiday season.
I am a women who enjoys lists and checking things off. Whether the checking things off is a good thing or not ( Am I a process person or do I enjoy the completion of a task? hmm...) I do enjoy writing them down and dreaming!

It looks like Winter here in Washington DC but the high today was in the mid-50's. Jack is just getting over a nasty cold so we have been inside most of the week. Today was a perfect day for a WINTER walk!

Jack got to spend a morning at the Smithsonian's Natural History Museum with his little cousin, Olivia. One of his favorite exhibits is the stuffed Giraffe.
