Sustainable living is hard work but worth it :) Yesterday I made 15 paper bricks recycling all my parent's newspapers for our fireplace. This morning I cleaned the house to prepare for the week and got my groceries ready to make a delicious carrot soup tonight for dinner - wonderful! Right now i am getting ready to re-arrange my textiles area to get ready to rewarp my loom for mom and my next project making dishtowels and place mats. I have another bag of paper to shred for the fire bricks and some wool spinning to do, too. So much fun work! While I'm doing that I'll be playing a 'how to' tape on how to make homemade beer. My nieghbors/friends/cousins who live very sustainably - they have not bought meat from the market in over a year - they raise chickens, collect eggs, fish, and hunt for all meats, have decided to start making thier own beer and I get to help! Should be fun :)
