My favorite perfectly broken in denim shirt has a hole under the back yoke, so I decided to patch it boro style. It's my first try at this type of Japanese mending. I did a blog post on boro here: japanese-boro-jackets-in-shibori-dragon.html
Then I baked a chocolate wacky cake, which doesn't have eggs or butter and is mixed right in the baking pan. Google "wacky cake" and you'll find recipes. I added extra cocoa powder and mixed instant espresso powder in with the water. This is a cake to make me feel good this weekend, because of ...
... how this sign that was posted at the Y yesterday spoke to me:
Our yoga teacher also left us with this quote:
"A flower does not think of
competing with the flower
next to it.
It just blooms."
Our rhodies started blooming!
Have a colorful day

Love your boro stitching! Maybe the beginning of some stitch meditations? The cake sounds lethally delicious... enjoy every morsel, you deserve it! And the sign and yoga quote are definitely indicators... both essential truths, I'm thinking!
Lovely Rhodies... hope they last a long time so you can continue enjoying them.
