Patchwork Soul: Field Trip - The Philbrook
http://marleyolson.blogspot.com/2014/07/field-trip-philbrook.html
Field Trip - The Philbrook. Driving through Tulsa, I stopped at the Philbrook Museum of Art. Though the museum is spectacular in its own right, I only wanted to be in the garden. And what a garden it is. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm a crafter, a cook, a writer, a reader just trying to piece together a beautiful life. View my complete profile.

Patchwork Soul: Pokeberry yarn
http://marleyolson.blogspot.com/2013/06/pokeberry-yarn.html
These are pokeberries. The grow in the alley behind my apartment (many things grow in the alley. Many things that have been used to dye yarn). Using an alum mordant and this many pokeberries (sorry I don't have numbers), I dyed this yarn. I like sock yarn that has nuances to add depth to the sock patterns. This yarn has those nuances and some cat hair. I've been wildcrafting a lot of dyes here. I'll post some yarn I've over-dyed several times. The over-dyeing gives a depth to the yarn I love.

Patchwork Soul: Bars - simply delicious
http://marleyolson.blogspot.com/2013/06/bars-simply-delicious.html
Bars - simply delicious. In an effort to use up all the food in the house, I have been baking like crazy. Which I love. Right now I love these the most. These are a good to make with whole wheat flour since the bars are dense to begin with you won't even notice it. I've made these several times with raisins and love them, but I tried chocolate chips (1/2 cup) instead. Wow. This is a good base for different fruit and nut combinations. I see fig and rosemary granola bars in my future. Makes 14 granola bars.

Patchwork Soul: Yawrn!
http://marleyolson.blogspot.com/2013/06/yawrn.html
Looking for a job is horrible. I now understand why people stay at jobs the hate. Moreover, I've discovered quite a bit about myself. Mostly I'm a HUGE procrastinator when it comes to writing cover letters. I will find 107,000 other things to do than write a letter that may help me get a job. What are those 107,000 things? One is dyeing yarn. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm a crafter, a cook, a writer, a reader just trying to piece together a beautiful life. View my complete profile.

Patchwork Soul: Fat, Forty and Broke: A Year in Review
http://marleyolson.blogspot.com/2013/06/fat-forty-and-broke-year-in-review.html
Fat, Forty and Broke: A Year in Review. I know what you're thinking. I"m not forty. It sounds better. Let me have it. This time last year, I was renting an apartment over the phone, planning a yard sale and gearing up to leave all my friends and family. Everything was clicking. Serendipity was in play. Click, click, click. I don't know where I am going. I don't know how I'll get there. I'm just waiting for something to click. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Patchwork Soul: Ah, Arizona
http://marleyolson.blogspot.com/2013/09/ah-arizona.html
There has been no miraculous change. No freakish, but painless weight loss. No fantastic, challenging, well paying job. Just this. Every chance I get I wander through the woods, climb a mountain or wade through a creek. It is hard to be anything but awed in such beauty. My soul is full. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
