Had a great conversation with Tamika Knutson @boreal.jewellery and host Maegen Black for the Citizens of Craft Podcast @ccffcma (our episode comes out July 10). One of the things we discussed was appreciation of the objects that fill our lives, and it got me thinking about objects that I under-value. This hat, for instance, is a dollarstore hat and is made of plastic - not qualities I assign much value as a craftsperson. However, this hat has been protecting me for years, allowing me to work in my garden when the blackflies are unbearable in spring. I have gratitude for this hat. So, I decided to show it I care with a little embroidery love.
