56 – Crochet Mandala

How cool is this! A crocheted mandala by Marinke that looks like a stained glass window. I’ve been crocheting doilies for years using the typical thin white thread. Marinke has taken it to a whole new level, using a larger weight yarn, bold colors AND using overstitching. Just beautiful!

Jackfruit Mandala

55 – Jackfruit Mandala

Up until February 7, 2015, I had yet to experience jackfruit. While participating in the Conscious Life Expo, in L.A. that fateful day, one of the food vendors offered vegetarian food. I was about to pass on them because I have trouble digesting tofu…thinking that that was the main ingredient for their Indian dish. Wrong! They use jackfruit. After a little bit of hesitancy, I opted to try it. Wow! Loved it!
