I\u2019m so excited, I finally finished my first apron that includes a block print. It was an adventure, figuring out how to set the ink in the fabric, and getting everything together. I finished it last night and I\u2019m really happy with how it turned out. It\u2019s a pocket-palooza of apron. All told it\u2019s got 7 pockets. I\u2019ve got Pocket Power! I feel like I need a wondertwin. Form of giant panda!<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>The kids have been watching the old school Super Friends shows. It\u2019s amazing how watching something as an adult that I watched as a kid has the effect of destroying happy memories. Wow. That show is BAD. No plot, no character development, and so very very cheesy. Oh well. The kids love it.<\/p>\n

I decided to make my picture of my creativity for Creative Every Day<\/a> a story today to go with Leah\u2019s March theme of Stories. This is a story about a family that makes things themselves, that tries to hang on to the idea that living simply, eating good food, and taking care of your friends and family are what are important in life. It\u2019s been a long road to get to such simple ideas.<\/div>\n

We\u2019re making saurkraut, by the way. I make it every fall, but I\u2019ve had a few requests from friends for some more, and since we\u2019re running pretty low, I figured it was time for 15 more pounds to get fermenting! <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Back to the story:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When I was in college I felt very alone and meaningless. It was a dark time for me. Life seemed pointless. Then the thought occured to me: if I assumed that there was no meaning to life, then all meanings had an equal value. If that was true, then it seemed to me that I could assign whatever value I wanted to them. Meaninglessness became freedom to choose what meaning I wanted rather than trying to live by other peoples values. Life since then has been a journey of evolving meaning. It\u2019s a pretty good place to be. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Creativity, authenticity, simple living, living centered in the place where I am. Eating food from this place, knowing people from this place. I think that is a sacred thing for me. Truly learning how to live here, where I am, on this land, even if it\u2019s in the city, surrounded by traffic and people. It\u2019s satisfying in a way that shopping never was. It\u2019s like the difference between a fresh baked loaf of bread and a candy bar. One leaves you full and nourished, and the other leaves you with a belly ache and a sugar crash.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
