Feelin Groovy Batiks
When I see a beautiful batik fabric it takes me back to my days of Art Shows on clothesline, patched jeans and the pungent scent of Patchouli Oil. I remember trying to batik some fabric with the wax and dye, and the mess. It was clearly not something I was cut out for, better to leave it to the experts. Today it is all just a few steps away from my grasp; all I need to do is choose the colors I like best.
If you’re anything like me, these days I’m sure you find yourself cringing in the supermarkets isles. Sometimes I think I’d be better off taking advantage of the dollar menu at the nearest fast food restaurant. Times are tough right now for the average family and as a Mom, I know I feel responsible for making every dollar stretch as far as possible. Sometimes it’s challenging not to take the easy way out. But there are lots of creative choices we can make to stretch our dollars. Maybe all it takes is a shift in our perceptions of a more simplified reality.
