1 week ago by craftsanity While printing on fabric is my favorite, I do print on paper sometimes, too. ; ) I finally installed this print and another one (scroll to see it) in our reconfigured family work/chill space. Framing is for the birds, but it feels like a very adult move. Wire and clothespins are my usual go-to. : ) #craftsanityprints #prints #art #lino #printmaker #framed #freedomofthepress #whoarewe #wallart #linocut #printmaking #handprinted #craftsanitystudio #mywork

3 days ago by craftsanity The bees are big fans of my lavender plants. When I become a beekeeper, I will be sure to plant lavender by the hives. Tomorrow I’m going to attempt to make a homemade lavender essential oil. It takes a crazy amount of fresh lavender, but it will be really cool if it works. I’m still adding lavender to my yard. I’m tempted to replace the whole front lawn with a lavender patch. That would amazing. : ) #bees #suburbanfarming #lavender #farmdreams #beelife #buzz #lavenderbee
2 days ago by craftsanity Lavender farming is hard work. Today I’ve spent hours harvesting, bundling, and hanging it up to dry. I also prepped four cups worth for a very experimental batch of essential oil. And, after all that, there is more to harvest. This is a fantastic problem to have and I’m thrilled. #lavender #lavenderharvest #suburbanfarming #herbs #farmdreams #diyessentialoil #growyourown
1 day ago by craftsanity Here’s a scene from my Sunday morning walk. I really enjoy watching these wild sunflowers bloom in the same place every year. I might order seeds and add them to my garden next year so I can watch the whole process up close. If more people took the time to plant seeds and watch them grow, I imagine that the world would feel like a much kinder place. There’s something very calming about watching flowers bloom and I wish more people could experience the peacefulness of it. #sunflowers #plantseeds #watchflowersbloom #bloom #sundaymorning #walk #sundaymorningvibes #ontodayswalk #bluesky
