Dress Locally. Hand Wash.
Learn to Darn.

The ideal project
takes over my life
and requires
a season or two
to complete.
Or a year.
Or Three.

It demands time
but not money.

Or new clothes.

Sometimes it is new clothes.

The thing worth pursuing
is not a thing at all,

It is a moment
captured in cloth,

a pile of possibility
![Picture](/uploads/2/8/1/7/28173247/2080436.jpg?437)
a tiny miracle.
This work infiltrates my dreams

It builds my biceps.
![Picture](/uploads/2/8/1/7/28173247/2348014.jpg?516)
It thrills me to the bone.
![Picture](/uploads/2/8/1/7/28173247/4780649.jpeg?495)
It drives me to tears.

When I was seven
I turned scraps of yarn
into a magic carpet.

I'm still at it.
Thanks for reading all the way to the bottom!
