Cloudberry Jam: March 2011
http://cloudberryjelly.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 31, 2011. On the needles, on the nightstand. I recently knitted my first pair of socks. I tried a heel-less pattern because I wasn't sure I could do a heel. ( Here. I also recently (finally) read The Omnivore's Dilemma. My grandmother helped me make the rug in the above picture. She died when I was in Michigan. I am grateful that I had so much time to tell her how much she has taught me. I tackled much of the socks and the book in her room before she passed. Monday, March 28, 2011.

Saturday, August 6, 2011. We went to the university's Organic Farm Field Day this year. It was awesome. So many good workshops, tours, and tons of information. Plus, they served us an amazing dinner.

Cloudberry Jam: Bookends and Nightstand
http://cloudberryjelly.blogspot.com/2011/08/bookends-and-nightstand.html
Saturday, August 20, 2011. Aaron and I spent a few afternoons together working on these bookends. I cut out the shapes, and did some sanding. He gave advice, put them together, and finished them. They are just lovely. The toadstool was a copy of a toy I had made some time ago. The shape just seemed to work, so I used it again. I should also mention that Aaron made this beautiful nightstand some time ago. What a treasure. (Both the nightstand and the guy. I am one lucky lass! August 21, 2011 at 7:35 AM.

Cloudberry Jam: Empty. And full.
http://cloudberryjelly.blogspot.com/2011/09/empty-and-full.html
Friday, September 2, 2011. When we sat down and worked out the (very serious) possibility of the fact that I might have to move to New England alone while Aaron stayed here. I am so glad that doesn't have to happen. I can't even express how afraid I was of that happening. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Girl meets boy. Girl falls in love.

Cloudberry Jam: May 2011
http://cloudberryjelly.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 31, 2011. As we were sitting down to lunch recently, I realized that the meal we were eating was almost entirely made of local ingredients. I snapped a few pictures for an obligatory and probably boring "this is what I had for lunch" post. I'll admit that the crust on the quiche is not local. I have yet to find a local flour source. It is homemade, however, so that counts for something! I talk about the ramps here. The coriander in the brine produced a nice lemony taste. It was our first tim...

Cloudberry Jam: I am...
http://cloudberryjelly.blogspot.com/2011/09/i-am.html
Friday, September 9, 2011. Feeling - So. Damn. Excited. to be moving! Writing - thank yous for many gorgeous and thoughtful "goodbye" gifts from friends. Thinking - about the year to come and what it holds. Knowing - that this time next week I will be wondering which box holds that very specific and immediately needed item I can't seem to find. Listening - to bird song and crickets outside my windows. Savoring - the start of blanket weather. Watching - enough Mad Men. They go perfectly with a Mad Men.

Cloudberry Jam: dying clothes
http://cloudberryjelly.blogspot.com/2011/08/dying-clothes.html
Sunday, August 14, 2011. I had all of these white shirts that I was going to toss before moving. They were all grimy, stained, and pretty much unwearable. How long do whites stay pristine? I imagined saving up all of my beet water or dying them with yellow turmeric or something natural. But then I remembered that scene from Dodie Smith's I Capture The Castle. It totally worked and the shirts all have this beautiful, mottled, soft grey color (which is what I was hoping for). View my complete profile.
