As summer is winding down, the breeze is cool but the sun is warm. It was a beautiful day to just be. I spent the day working online and handling Inner Blocks business, and playing with the kids. I even caught a nap.
I took a minute for myself today, and braided some hemp. This is something that I have been doing since I was a teenager. I first learned this from my sister, and I have loved it ever since.
There is something beautiful about the simple artbof wearing rope. There are so many different ways to braid it, but today I chose a flat square knot.
I have worn hemp on my ankles several different times through the years. I make them permanent and wear them until I cut them off for some reason.
We have been so active lately and living nomadically in our van, so it has given me an opportunity to wear sandals everyday. Since don't need socks or high boots I thought this would be nice.
I braid 3/4 of it while it is hanging up, and finish the last 1/4 while it is on me. So I take running end through the starting loop and braid backwards. This makes the knot, and makes it permanent on my ankle.
Two cheers for seizing life!! I hope you all are seizing yours. It is just too good to waste!
Be well
