Field Report

Where have I been? Did I just move to Portland and drop off the map? Off the screen? Oh. no. I’ve been scheming. Now that I’m not teaching, there is a world of time and energy that has opened before me. And in that open space, I am putting my ideas. My mind and my future are filled with possibilities and projects.
The Projects:
-A new improved blog on urbanhonking.com. Look for it sometime very soon!
-A new product on buyolympia.com. Still in the development stage, but will hopefully exist by the holiday season. It involves felt, and magnets, and tiny clothes. Is anybody suprised?
-and for those of you who hate computers and technology, (even though you are a participant, just like me) don’t worry. I am also planning some good old fashioned quilt projects. handsewn.
This weekend I got out my trusty Singer and rooted through still-unpackes boxes to find my cutting tools. I set up myself up and began. My machine, after working on industrial mammoths for the last month, seemed small and slow and rattle-y. After I laughed my head off at trying to make a tiny 1946 Featherweight do what an industrial machine does, I got to work. I am a maker once again. Things are right in the world.
