hearth-Craft

About why I began this blog:

To me, the skills and arts of hearth and home bring comfort and peace. They bring quiet joy and a sense of earth, of making a home for my loved ones to come to for warmth and love. And so, esoteric as my explanation sounds, this is my place to enjoy the down to earth pleasures of stitching, crochet and sewing and of cooking and gardening.

We will see what the future brings.

About me:

I’m a duck. Seriously. And not in reference to the ugly duckling story either.

My grandfather once told me that an Eagle excels at flying and that an Ostrich excels at running and that a Penguin excels at swimming. A Duck may not fly as well as an eagle, may not run as swiftly as an ostrich and may not swim as skillfully as a penguin…but an eagle can neither run nor swim, an ostrich can neither fly nor swim and a penguin can neither fly nor run. A duck can fly and run and swim.

I am a duck, because I do many things. Perhaps I am not the best there is at each of the things that I do, but there are many things I do well.
