blueberries and red cabbage

this is indeed something i don't usually do

reuse dye liquor or

throw in (aged and inedible) blueberries

or food

for that matter

but there was an excess, a lovely excess of purplyness

along with some red cabbage.

it was my pot,

my maine class.

and incredible energy.

i went back to school tuesday

my class doubled in size,

and those newbies need totally different programming.

three grade levels.

we have a new room

with loads of space

and it's on the first floor!

(my knees thank the powers that be).

but oh, my, huge changes in two years...

thank goodness for the best assistant in the universe.

we are planning a bit of cooking and making

along with academics.

there are a couple more of this edition

of poplar covers

coptic bound contact printed books

still unbound,

but waiting!

my edition binding friends tell me that it's

challenging to finish.

geesh! they're right!
