The Book of Job: A blow-by-blow

Posted on December 5, 2011 by

Leave a Comment

The first of my required readings for January, the Book of Job is ultimately about the test of life, the unknowability of God’s purpose, and the central question: “Why do bad things happen to good people?”. Unlike the Biblical text of Genesis, which we… Continue Reading “The Book of Job: A blow-by-blow”

* Supplementary Reading: Memories and Visions of Paradise by Richard Heinberg It’s been years since I’ve read any of the bible, and I had really forgotten how the Book of Genesis really does pack in most of the key stories of the Old Testament.… Continue Reading “Stories of civilization”

I have long thought that the story of the Garden of Eden and the fall of Adam and Eve as an allegory for the advent of civilization – and specifically the transition from hunter/gatherer existence to agricultural toil. The timelines don’t quite match up… Continue Reading “My Sunday thought.”

New table runner and autumn flowers.

Quite pleased with how this is weaving up, even though I managed to do my tie-up upside down so the right side of the fabric is underneath (see second picture). Just means I have to be extra careful as I go, and check the underside often. So happy to have figured out how to best warp and tie-up this #bergåsavonia loom though. I can see it's going to be in my life for a long time. #weavingloom #weaverfever #weaversofinstagram #textilestudio
Freshly warped loom! This is only the second time I have warped my Berga Savonia #countermarchloom . The first time, I discovered that the treadle tie-up was a real pain due to loom design so I ordered and installed a 20+ tie-up system a few months ago. This is the first chance to try it out and it really works to make the tie-up so much easier on the body. No crawling under the loom! No pulling cord through tiny holes everytime the tie-up changes! Now to wind a couple of bobbins and start a new weaving. #weavingloom
Local yarn from Gabriola sheep dyed with fustic and then indigo. Trying to decide how to use this..... #naturaldye #texilestudio #makersgonnamake
Some hand dyed embroidery threads ready for use in winter projects. Fustic, Eastern Brazilwood, Indigo, and Dhalia.
Home office before and after. New furniture, moved my big shelving unit to make space for a design wall, everything cleaned and reorganized!
Lots of canning this week! $100 worth of produce nets us 12 quarts of tomato sauce, 9 pints of roasted tomato salsa, 12 pints of diced roasted tomatoes and 12 jars of nectarine jam to bring back to the coast tomorrow. That's a haul that makes me happy. #foodsecurity #keremeos #sandersonsfruitstand #summerofmaking2021 #canningseason
Knitting with hand dyed yarns at the golden hour. It always takes me a few days to settle in at the cabin, but once it happens I don't want to leave. Enjoying these last summery days up here watching the first cottonwood leaves turn yellow. #summerofmaking2021 #naturaldye #whyprinceton #knittersofinstagram #knitallthethings #knitstagram
There are many quilts at our cabin, most of them made by a co-owner's mum (we own and share this place with a couple of folks). I love them hung as privacy dividers in our loft. #quiltinglove #quiltsofinstagram #quilting
Making nectarine-ginger jam while chilling in the interior. It's still summer here! #summerofmaking2021
Greens, gray, and a spot of purple. These will become my first project with hand dyed yarns.... some kind of cowl or scarf!
