When you finish a piece of #visiblemending, then realize you have done it on the wrong side of the fabric, yank the entire thing out and start over. Reminder to prioritize the process over the end result, a lesson that’s valuable for all kinds of things. #mending #slowfashion
Glad midsommar!
Happy solstice! Summer in a bottle, aka Strawberry Cardamom Cordial which is on my site today, as well as a whole bunch of ideas for planning a Swedish midsommar dinner for tomorrow night. In the current climate, I think it’s important to make time to sit down together with friends and celebrate. Gather some wildflowers, light some candles, put your phones away and just be together in the moment.
Nature is pure magic.
Being awake means being open to the small joys around you. Being awake means seeing the lines, the textures, the colors, the details in the big things but also the smallest of things. Being awake means finding beauty in the darkness. Being awake means showing love and compassion. Being awake means facing the world with an open heart. Being awake means seeing, hearing, feeling.

Anna, I thought about the Portland version too, but had a hard time thinking of how the neighborhoods would break up into bikes. Maybe I’m too close to the subject! Fun to think about though and I love the simple design of this.
