my creative space

In my creative space today I’m finishing up a messenger bag refashion for a friend. This was a really cool project and I’ll have lots more photos for you once it’s delivered.

Also a quick update on the Kind Diet. I haven’t been trying hard to avoid meat and dairy, but I’m finding it pretty easy and fulfilling to eat other things. I also loaded up on lots of wonderful veggies from the Farmers’ Market last weekend. Lunch today was tomato, hummus and grilled zucchini on whole grain bread. Yum!
I’m looking for more reading material on how the food we eat affects our planet. Any suggestions?

Remind me to bring some vegetarian cookbooks for you to take a look at. There are a TON of yummy recipes in them that I think you’d really enjoy…if you’re interested.
Fast Food Nation is a good read.
Try Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. It’s a lovely read. Enjoy!
The Omnivore’s Dilemma. Fast food nation will freak you out. Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is inspiring. I also like The Ethics of What we eat.
Can’t wait to see the bag.
I really like Michael Pollan – The Omnivore’s Dilemma, In Defense of Food, and Food Rules – all great reads that get you thinking.
