    An Email I Hesitated to Send

    An entire week of Esther Advent devos has sat finished for days… Who wants a daily flurry of messages in the middle of everything already tugging at your attention? So, I decided on one simple weekly email; all seven days stitched into a single place you could open when the moment felt right. But, I soon learned, not an easy task. My simple idea spurred a flurry of self-induced apprenticeship. Multiple tabs, videos and instructions.  How to upload a PDF  that will be readable on mobile screens? The font size? How to weave in links that actually jump where they’re supposed to jump. The result you have here is a  slow untangling…

    The Anti-Aging Power of Frankincense: How to Make a Rejuvenating Nighttime Face Oil at Home

    There are so many cosmetic companies claiming to have the most powerful “miracle” claiming to erase wrinkles and restore your glow — but what if one of the most potent anti-aging ingredients isn’t new at all? In fact, it’s been used for thousands of years.

    Origami in Retrospect

    He’s had a request to make some origami dresses for a “client.” As an added benefit, he’s going to make a centerpiece — but he was at a loss of what to make. But I wasn’t. I started going through the archives here, on this blog, to find some of his creations, like the dresses, of course, the trees, stars, and cranes, the 3-d origami and the  swans, the bats, the boomerangs from the class he taught when he was in third grade, the angels, the cranes that flew, the snowflake cookies, (while these are NOT origami because they involve cutting).. In all of this work, I am stunned at how…

    Weeding and Watering Your Garden With Minimal Effort

    Several years ago, I was entranced by the whole Key Hole Garden concept, used in Africa, and its importance in helping people living in areas with little water to create a sustainable garden. However, I have had the supplies/time/manpower to create my own.

Last winter, I tried a technique that I learned from a friend — burying my compost directly in my garden. All winter long, I saved my compost and buried it in holes I had…
