Corset making and other old timey things

Oh to have lived 100years ago...i might have polio or less teeth, but such a small price to pay to live in a handmade world without plastic

living near trains

i don't mind...

i actually prefer...

train towns.

Road trip!

Not in this bus...but it would be a lot cooler if you did...(bad reference, cool RV alternative)

Nick Cave show at BAM

Hanging out in Boise, getting prepped for a move to a good sized town, with engaging exhibits and bike paths. These "soundsuits" are the business. 

big news

We are leaving this...

 for this...

some people would question our decision to leave fecund Humboldt, where plants fight each other to crawl all over, invited or not, but there is no question in my mind...i must return to the desert...(in a VW...).

la glasses

i love this article on tumbleweeds handcraft featured on etsy...

not only do i love the glasses (and the blog), but its sweet how they seem to have so much fun together as partners...

 i shared a booth at the craft fair a couple weekends ago (my booth-partner's space below)...

and sold the below belt to a booth neighbor....

its nice to spend time with people who make things...

 but, even though we aren't a husband-wife leatherworking team with pet alligators, i wouldn't trade a second of our partnership, even when he tells me my poorly-maintained leg hair situation makes me look like i have mange...yup, even though.

Hanging out in Berkeley

Been busy with all kindsof things, backpacking followed by a couple of days in flowery Berkely...

 checked out some punk rock localities...

tortured Sue the dog with city life and miles of street walking...

and saw pretty pretty buildings...

i don't like photographing when we are backpacking because the photos never truly represent what it feels like to be in the vanilla-smelling wilderness, but I have more photos of things to share soon.
