Recycling burlap bags

From two weeks ago at Refugee Focus where I volunteer. About once a month I teach refugee women a fun workshop. This time was making bags out of burlap sacs.

Look at this dry cactus petal in a form of heart. And there are few drops of rain today, and it’s only 93F. #heart #cactusheart #cactuslover #naturelove

Oh no....another pumpkin, this one is small. I think I am addicted. Especially since they’re very much free form and no real pattern to follow. #crochet #crichetaddict #pumpkin #diycrochet #isitfallyet #waitingforfall #stitchplayinaz

Check out this cute little crochet pumpkin I whipped up today. Super super easy to make. Just chain however many stitches based on the size you want, multiple by 2.3 and do a single crochet in the back stitch only. I started with 15 chain and I think I have about 35 rows (I kind of lost count. Then before finishing fold in half and join your first and last rows with slip stitches by joining the back loop of one and front loop of the other. Leave a long tail and close of the bottom by sewing and gathering. Fill in with polyfil and then close off the top. Decorate. I used a wine cork and some sari silk. 🎃 #crochet #pumpkin #isitfallyet #diycrochet

Maybe if I start making fall themed stuff fall will come. It’s still 105F here. I made a coffee filter wreath today. #whereisfall #autumn #diycrafts

A few hours at the Salt River, soaking up all the remedies nature has to give, sun, water, fresh air. #arizona #saltriver

Drawing mandalas in my journal has helped me meditate and focus these las few days. Friends I experienced the biggest and scariest allergic reaction yet. And I am not exactly sure what was contaminated or if I have new allergies. I had a nasty cold for almost two weeks and ate a lot of homemade soup, took over the counter cough medicine and cough drops. The congestion would not go away so I took Alka Seltzer which I’ve never had before (maybe it did it). I had a huge hive/angiodema that migrated from my eye to my upper lip then my bottom lip. It affected the inside of my mouth. I could not eat, not that I was not afraid to eat anything anyway. And for the first time I ended up in urgent care scared that the hive could migrate to my throat next. I got a shot but even with that it took a whole day to clear for the most part. I still have little swelling, the inside of my mouth is raw and painful and now my skin on the face is itchy. I go to an allergy specialist in a week to get retested. It’s been 3 years since my last test and even though from time to time I ‘d have a reaction I managed the allergies for the most part. But I got really really scared this week. I need help. I have two pages of questions for the doctor. I hope he is nice and has the time. #meditation #drawingmeditation #needtobecalm #breathe #dealingwithallergies
