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

2 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

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
