Did anyone else feel the earthquake that just rattled? 1 or 2 scale but still I grabbed my spare glasses and a cell charger and phone and went outside asap…. But I was the only
Person outside on the street…

My New Year’s resolution was to dedicate at least the equal amount of time to creating as I do passive media/internet consuming. So far I have made two Belgian linen shirts, one back-tie rustic blue linen apron, and one front-tie Japanese cotton apron.

New Belgian linen shirt made from the leftovers of another long sleeved shirt I made in January.

The water was soooo black from the rust reacting with the tannins from the teabags left overnight. The spoon disappeared from sight the moment I dipped it it to fish out the little teapot.

Nambu teapot spa. Scrub and add into a big pot with 6 teabags full of cheap black tea to extract as much tannins into the water.

Boil the teapot and tea together for 20min and leave overnight in the tannin rich water.

Final results will be revealed soon!
