The refugee crisis is still on our minds and on our needles. A teacher from Ella's middle school invited me to assist her with an elective this semester entitled "Rows for Refugees." Yes, we are teaching knitting while talking about different forms of the refugee crisis and how to raise awareness through craftivism. Again, the items made by the girls will be sent to Iraq to a camp for refugees and internally displaced people.
Over the last months, an article I really enjoyed reading can be found here.
This household is still in shock over the recent presidential elections. Today, a line from the Avett Brothers helped to put things into perspective, "And your life doesn't change by the man's that's elected" (from Head Full of Doubt).
We wish you the very best for the upcoming months and hope to be back in the new year.
Gina and Ella
