Many people know that I love needlework — I knit and embroider and I have already told that I cannot imagine my life without creativity. Therefore, I am madly in love with all sorts of handicraft things, but besides that, I am also, unfortunately, allergic, so I like them to be as natural as possible.

And the thread slides and caresses your hand so pleasantly, you inhale the woody scent and your soul becomes calm and light. All your worries are already disappearing somewhere, and you count one, two, three and you can already see the pattern in your item, and at the same time the frost draws its patterns on the window, repeating one, two, three after you...

Acorn coffee recipe. Period of time for gathering acorns: end of September - October. Pour the acorns into a container with water. Wash them and remove those that surfaced. Remove the drowned acorns from the water, put them on a baking sheet in one layer and place them in a preheated oven or put them into a cast-iron pan for 5-10 minutes. Most acorns will become dark brown and burst. This will make it easier for you to peel them. Peel them before they get cold! Warm and moist acorns, removed from the oven and peeled from the shell, shall be passed through a meat grinder (dry ones are hard to twist). Dry the resulting minced meat on baking sheets or in a dryer until tender. Store the raw material in glass jars or multilayer paper bags. 

Further, to prepare a coffee drink, you need to grind the raw material in a coffee grinder and fry in a dry frying pan, stirring constantly. Depending on the roasting a different taste is obtained. You need to brew coffee from acorns in the same way as coffee beans are prepared, at the rate of one teaspoon of powder per cup of water. Add honey and milk to taste.

As a carpentry workshop our favorite topic is trees, and, being a simple inhabitant, I have not noticed before how they sprouted with their roots in many, if not all, areas of our life. 

Today I want to tell you about a very interesting tradition from India — the Temple Tree. Trees are generally a very important element of the relationship of the Indians with the Supreme. Not only the lotus is sacred... In ancient times, when temples were not yet built around the shrines, the holy places were in a cave or under a tree, which served as a kind of protectors for the shrine. Many temple complexes and cities around them grew in the place of forests and at first bore the name of trees. For example, the area of ​​Madurai was named after a kadamba tree - Kadambavanam. A kadamba tree blooms with incredible flowers and has now become the tree of the Meenakshi temple. Forests, of course, are no longer there, but in the temple, as a rule, one sacred tree grows. 

For some reason I am close to how in the legends plants naturally participated in the emergence of holy places. In my opinion, this is a good tradition, because trees often symbolize the connection between generations.
