I hope you’re having a nice weekend!
PS I read the superseding 25 page indictment of Rick Gates this morning before even getting out of bed. I don’t think Manafort will flip — do you? I just learned that the Dem-Memo has been released, so I’ll be reading that before dinner, which leads me to ask, “What will we do when this drama is over?” It is absolutely and completely riveting.
Do you grow your own lavender .. I started a plant a few years ago. Oh the color and smell of lavender.
I tried one year but I don’t think there’s a single spot in my yard that gets enough sun. I love how it looks and smells!
Oh and face .. is it a drawing you did?
Yeah. With colored pencils and then printed with ink jet printer onto cloth.
Wow .. that is very cool. VERY COOL!
Love the seasonal idea! the last one I made was a story-song quilt with all novelty type fabrics. And the lavender idea! I have rosemary and lavender growing right outside my door 🙂 I’d love to add sage there too.
Oooh California!! ❤️
Oops…meant to ask what company/product you used to do the transfers? I have done that too in the way past past, but it faded a lot! Especially the Traveling Quilt, that was used in my car. I can barely see the images now.

Balsam will always remind me of lying out under the pines in my grandmothers cottage, and lavender was how Sister Mary Margaret (a favorite nun of my childhood) smelled when he hugged me.
When the current drama is over (though it really will never be over), I will entertain myself with gusto and delight, breathe a foolish sigh of temporary relief and continue to mourn the terrible ways of our human nature by way of a practiced detachment and sincere joy.
Love your reminiscences. And how beautifully you model walking a spiritual path.
Michelle~ Such beautiful words and fond scent stories here. And then my heart breaks…teachers, favorite teachers should smell so lovely and feel like caring, not like weapons. xo
Wish I could edit “he” to “she” but perhaps gender is irrelevant here too :–>
Eh. I knew what u meant.
