I took a really dope embroidery class recently. The homework for one of the sessions was, “embroider something about your every day life that you enjoy.” This one was inspired by a sunset I drew, on New Years Day.

2021. It feels like this.

Recientemente tomé una clase de bordado que me inspiró mucho. La tarea de una de las clases fue: "borda algo de tu vida cotidiana que disfrutas.” Me inspiré de en una puesta de sol que dibujé el día de Año Nuevo.

2021. Se siente así.

Dear "GRACreates" followers and supporters, I am thrilled to finally share with you that I recently received a small business grant! Thank you so much for your support throughout the years!

I have been thinking a lot about how to best take advantage of this opportunity. Please stay tuned with me because I will need your help in moving my brand and art work forward.

Thanks to Google.org for helping make it all possible and for recognizing the power of Latinx small businesses.

And thank YOU for believing in me.

Sincerely,

Grace

Progress... a reminder to myself to make time each day. If only 30 minutes. To keep it going.

When expressed her intention to use part of the Almanac book sales to support Community Cookouts, she shared with me Heleo Leyva's story: A Los Angeles community member who lost his food stand because of COVID, quarantine/social distancing... then came back to cook FREE meals for hundreds of residents in the City of LA who were impacted by COVID, when he himself was feeling those effects, too. If this is not the definition of LOVE, care, generosity, responsibility, & commitment! You are a blessing to the people ! Thank you for sharing the ritual of coming together as a community to cook and care for each other.

If you haven't pre-ordered the Urban Farmer's Almanac, this limited-edition print copy includes community essays from Shift Our Ways Collective and Community Cookouts. You can order your copy via the link in my bio 🔗🌿

The backs of the bookmarks were naturally-dyed by myself and .l0ve using blueberries 🫐 and cebolla skins 🧅 ( ). I hand-stitched the border to add value to both sides, making it as enjoyable on the reverse side as it is on the front.

If you are one of the first 25 to receive your Almanac & bookmark, please tag us 💜
