I spent yesterday afternoon with Delia Fian’s bark class, slipping and processing bark that I’ll weave into a hat. It’s slow, intentional work, which I love. Handwork and the rhythm that goes along with it is a part of who I am. It is steady, familiar, and grounding.

Charlotte Mason wrote about the value of meaningful work and how it shapes not just skills, but character. I feel that truth under my fingers as I peel and prepare each strip of bark. Honest work, quiet joy.
