I am a tired girl.
I slept something like eleven hours last night.
Which, I know, my life is so hard.
But I also know I have a funny/metalic taste in my mouth, so I wonder if maybe I'm a little sick. :-P

Anyway.
I am a tired girl.
So.
What shall I do?
Make crafts! :-D

The plan: To do the jewelry components for seven more of the Honey Month pieces.

Here's hoping they go well. :-D

Attn Ottawa-Area Hippies and Pagans and Similar! Hidden Harvest Ottawa wants YOU!

Hey, okay.
So this is really only relevant to people who are easy biking distance of urban Ottawa, ON. So, if you live in Gatineau, this probably applies, but if you live in Renfrew County... maybe not so much.

I've just discovered Hidden Harvest Ottawa. And I think a big heap of my friends - the Phamily Dinner crowd, the Pagan community, the Local Foodies, and everyone else in the venn diagram - would probably enjoy taking part in their endevors.

Basically, the idea is to pair up volunteer harvesters (e.g.: me) with people who've got fruit/nut trees on their properties and need help with getting all the fruit/nuts in and, er, actually used.

The idea is that 1/4 of the harvest gets split between the harvesters, 1/4 of it stays with the tree-owner, 1/4 of it goes to the food bank (or similar), and 1/4 of it gets sold (at area farmers' markets, I assume...?) by Hidden Harvest to offset the costs of running the program[1].

FYI (for people with yard space to put such things): Hidden Harvest will also be selling fruit and nut trees to private buyers who wish to grow their own fruit and nuts.

I'm totally excited, and I think we should all sign up. :-D

[1] I have no earthly notion how getting this program started would cost $10,000-$15,000, but apparently it did... (???)
