And dancing goats, of course!! // block-printed holiday cards // set of 6 // shop link in profile

We made block-printed holiday cards! The design is a little ode to Winter bundling up, cuddling close, and hunkering down in our nests 💙 (now in the shop!)

Last red hots got tossed in the crock tonight for a HUGE batch of fermented hot sauce. If we don't eat it all it'll make good gifts, right? 😝😅😭😤

Hand-folded, hand-painted, hand-made with love and holiday cheer. (And if you celebrate a conifer-free holiday, they look darn good on any wall) $13-16 in the shop, ready to ship. thefarwoods.etsy.com

Took a break from the Garden Journal to clean-up the garden - we finally had our first frost last night! Everything got nipped. And....that's a wrap for tomaters and peppas. #itfinallystoppedraining #workismyworkbreak #fallgarden #gardencleanup

🎼ooooh I love to go a-wanderin' along the forest path....🎶 Learn to ID the conifer trees along those meandering November hikes with our Conifer ID poster! // $22 in the shop // shop link in profile

A beloved wooly sweater...worn until the elbows blew out // an opportunity for mending experimentation: the left elbow is patched by weaving yarn together to fill the hole, the right elbow is a crocheted patch sewn into the hole. Two ways to create fabric where old fabric has disappeared, and one way to jazz up an old sweater #visiblemending #slowfashionoctober #slotober #slowfashion #slowfashionmovement @slowfashionoctober

[sonyamontenegro]

Unglamorous glorious mending - learning to darn our own socks was a turning point, a realization that just a little hole doesn't render the whole thing useless, a liberating skill that keeps us from buying more more more. And it feels awesome to do things the way our grandmothers and great grandmothers did. #slowtober #visiblemending #slowfashion #slowfashionoctober #slowfashionrevolution #slowdown #darning
