I’m thinking it might be time to put this blog to rest.

There is a lot of information here about dyeing, printing, and surviving.

Everyone has their way of surviving, this blog was mine. Posting here was very healing and now I have this wonderful documentation of many years of my life.

When I titled this blog, it was a sort of joke to me, a pun about life, it’s ups and downs, it’s joys and sorrows. Each day can hold so many emotions.

Today, I live every day. I love, create, and welcome in all of my beautiful life with gratitude.

The Guest House

by Rumi

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

​A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor

​Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

​The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

​Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Sleep well little blog, I tuck you in and honor you with this beautiful blanket made from cottons I dyed every day for a while.

Have a wonderful, creative, loving life,

Love, Marjorie
