in morocco, we learned that handmade rugs have a plush winter side and a looped summer side. i finished this fall nature pattern and decided it looked like a patterned rug, and given the amount of texture, i guess this would be the winter side. on the other hand, i don’t know how i feel about sleeping side by side like sardines with my family on top of a mullein stalk and a row of milkweed pods. maybe a little more wine first.
