a quiet end

…to this 50 days of Easter.

i’m sick right now, but in the next few days, i’ll finish putting the all the posts in the main Celebrating the 50 Days of Easter page.

we’ve got raspberry lemonade and strawberries and whipped cream for tomorrow’s feast of Pentecost…just the thing to keep us in mind of the motions of the Spirit.

flashback friday :: fieldwork

6 June 2014 by Kortney

just a happy reminder that you can download and print all 4 issues of fieldwork, a zine i made a few years ago.  it’s an approachable way to start thinking about our circle ’round the sun and the church year.  enjoy!

::

once upon a time i made a zine called fieldwork.  i first imagined this zine when i lived in the jungle of Suriname and was reading books about Margaret Mead and the fieldwork she completed as an anthropologist.  i loved the idea of approaching even the most mundane aspect of my life as an investigator, as an anthropologist.  i loved imagining life with an unknown, uncivilized tribe of children yet to be born.

this wasn’t the first zine i ever made….there was thundermoon–small, handmade books of poems and pictures and lists, always lists, of books.  and when we lived in the jungle, we two made a zine called Rivers and Trees.  when i come across copies of this zine, filed in the wrong spot, i am always startled.  i love its look and writing with Andy.  and the stories!  how many times am i going to have the chance to write about fishing with your bare hands or the boy lost for days in the forest and then returned home safe.

fieldwork was the first zine made on the computer.  and i was never satisfied with that process.  there were always problems when it came time to print.  and there was none of the satisfaction of making something.  there hasn’t been a new edition in a long while.  and i just started thinking that the end had come.  but there’s no reason that has to be so.  i still have brown paper to print on and clear stickers to seal each copy.  so maybe there will be more.  maybe they will look a bit different.

for now, i wanted to make all of fieldwork available to you. there are almanac pages and suggestions for celebrating Advent and Pentecost and Michaelmas.  and always, books i think worth your time.   if you go to Scribd, you can download every edition as a pdf and print them as you will.  brown recycled paper, please!

i’d love to know that you are looking at these…printing these…that they are living a life past the one i had planned for them.

mother :: culture

5 June 2014 by Kortney

cropped-june-08-207.jpg

what wonders do you have planned for yourself during these long, sunny days?  here’s my list:

Julie at Brave Writer has a new book aiming to help you “sustain your homeschooling commitment.” it’s coming out next week!

also next week, Brandy at Half-a-Hundred-Acre Wood is having a new baby and starting a book club reading The Core by Leigh Bortins.  it will be hosted on the forums over at goodreads, so i am excited to meet some new mama-readers over there!

The Motherhood + Jane Austen book club continues with Persuasion...what i would have called my favorite Jane Austin.  will the title stand?

and there’s ICAD of course! that’s a bit of art every day on an index card.  try it!  you’ll like it.

and Lori the Amazing from Project Based Homeschooling is teaching a free series of classes this summer.  the first one is about the journaling habit and begins next week!

what are *you* working on?
