sanctuary: projects to make & share
of course, there is also a lot to be said for sitting in the present moment and actually taking it in. it’s why i’m writing these words from the house we’ve inhabited for the past few days - the magic we created is still lingering in the air, the cozy corners we curated whispering their stories. i guess that’s the beauty of this book and its projects in a nutshell - we can create sanctuary in any place, for any amount of time, and ultimately, it needs to start and end with our internal sense of sanctuary. the cozy knits and quilts and cushions and food are just an outward manifestation of the sense of wonder and joy and human experience we carry through our days, from waking to dreaming.
