Art in the Kitchen: Julia Child's Vinaigrette

We love to grow the gorgeous Julia Child’s roses in the garden with their licorice scent. We also enjoy and recommend her timeless and simple vinaigrette.

For the warp, I’m using a light green tweed yarn that adds dimension. The “floating” flecks of color makes it more tactile.

Early Rising

It’s always a gift to get up early to enjoy the quiet before a busy day begins.
