After the spiders' prompt (finding the inexplicably crawling on me in the car - tiny ones) that I should be spinning - it IS that time of year, after all...I've been spinning.  More hemp and bamboo for facial scrubbies.  The ones I made before are holding up, so I will attempt to make these more attractive and perhaps give them as gifts.

Lammas is when I feel the exhaustion of production...that first thought of "Gods I need to sit down and REST!!!"  Or at least that is what I normally feel about this time of year.  This is a time when if you have a garden, every day brings some blessing of abundance from the green world.  It is also the time when forgetting to water just once can ( Read more... )
