Most of my blog posts are about events that happened some time ago. I focus on telling a chronological story because my blog is a journal.
However, I have decided to make the occasional post in real-time to document what I am up to in the present. So here goes - my first Real-time Update.
In my studio, I am working with buttons, lots of buttons. After sorting washing and placing them, I am sewing them onto a ground with the machine.
Outside the studio, in the studio beds, the first of those spring bulbs I planted as soon as the garden beds were constructed, have popped out of the ground. They are the hyacinths.
About the same time as planting the bulbs, I planted a green manure mix of seeds and compost over the hugelkultur beds. The seeds the birds didn't take have germinated and the remnants the deer have left after their nightly grazing have turned into a green fuzz now the days are warmer.
We have had 40% more rain this winter than in any other we have experienced since we moved here. The damp conditions are ideal for rotting away the leaves while leaving their skeletons. I am collecting some of them for a work called 'Earth Repair.'
So that is what has been happening inside and outside the studio, today.
