Rescue some walkmen from Marin
Max writes in:
My former employer who does audio tours is emptying out their warehouse and is throwing out a couple hundred walkmans. They are already in a dumpster by their office and will probably be picked up sometime tomorrow. I send you this information in the hopes you know someone close to Marin (Sausalito) who might have interest enough to dig them out and save them from the landfill for mello-tronic projects and the like.
They’re located out at Fort Cronkhite in the Marin Headlands.

september and then some
I’m just excited. The neighbor’s mower is going, the trees are slightly changing, NPR on in the bedroom and a little babe humming and talking to herself on the floor. My blogging has the watchful eye of Hermione, hovering over me on the couch. This Wednesday, Hazel will be 9 months. It is cliche- but it really seems like yesterday. With a sleepless fog of the last 9 months, I am amazed at how we are making it through. Getting by and still managing to have some fun.
In the shoppe, we have started adding handmade goodness for our Christmas in September Sale. We’ll be offering free domestic shipping with a Buy One, Get One on select items. Start early and beat the browser rush! Zach has also been sewing away on some new & old favorite button bags to be used for anything- from carrying your latest knitting project, your lunch or as an eco-friendly loot bag alternative. Once I retrieve my camera from my brother’s house (where I promptly forgot it after a mere 3 sips of Pumpkin Juice(ale)) I will share pictures of the new goods.
Also for Fall, I’ll have some new Vagabond Scarves to keep you cozy as the cooler weather settles in. Yup we’re all that and a bag of chips!
Maybe I’ll ring in the season or pre-season with some sort of frothy,pumpkiny beverage.

New Plans to Graduate Kids in 10th Grade
The last two years of high school are generally spent preparing for college and enjoying the last hurrahs of senior year, but what if it were the first two years of high school, grades nine and ten where this took place, instead of grades 11 and 12?

Show and Tell
::::Here is how I fixed the tag issue on my Carter’s clothing::::
Muslin+thread+ fabric marker = this
Yesterday was exactly one month till my *due date*. Forgive me for constantly talking about how I can’t believe it. When I say to Zach ( as I hold up a newborn onesie)
“Can you believe we are going to have someone in the house this small?” he says “Yes, I know”. I guess he too is scared and excited.. but doesn’t vocalize it as much. I’ve read sometimes men don’t bond with the baby till they are born. Whereas I bonded I think before the first kick- at the first sonogram. I think he’ll be a great father, he loves playing with toys for starters!
In the craft world- there is someone whose work is so beautiful and inspiring. I regularly read her blog and look at her shop with yearning. With two little ones- she finds the time to make gorgeous quilted goodness. She’s having a giveaway- where by linking here it adds me to become a possible JCASA quilt winner! The fabrics she uses are so crisp and pretty. I can only hope one day I’ll learn to quilt with such skill! One of my favorites from her new quilt is the tiny pink clothesline fabric- who thinks of this adorable stuff?! I think my favorite colors would be a brown, green and maybe orange together.(thinking fall) I wonder if that could work? Maybe yellow?
Last weekend I mentioned going thrifting and getting some sheets::::
::3 Full- Size Flat Sheets:: One day I hope to make a skirt and maybe a tote and something for Hazel and pillows and, and, and….
We also found this Sesame Street Twin sheet set:::
This is one of the little crafts I made a few years back. It is a Styrofoam cone- covered in fabric and then decorated to look like a holiday tree. I used some tape measure for the bottom trim. I’ll be posting a tutorial in the next week or so, along with a scrap garland tutorial. They’re both very easy- but I am a visual learner- maybe you are too.
I felt like I needed to take this silly photo- just to have..
:::A little project I started this past week::::
Happy Halloween all you Tricksters~
Maybe next year Hazel can sport this little costume, by Beckaboo!
She has a great shop
full of monsters!
:::I hope you have plans for a wonderful candy coma or a silly costume party or maybe just a horror fest on the couch with your special someone- either way enjoy the moment!
300 Sales
Yay! We reached our 300th sale this past weekend! So exciting! It has been a long road of handmade goodness.I’m so thankful to all of our beloved customers~
I’ve been trying to figure out what steps to take for the next few weeks/months for our shop. I hate to get rid of custom orders, but alas I need to. They take a lot of time and effort and I am just not sure what the next year will bring (aside from giggles, cuddling and some dirty diapers). So I think the only option is to freeze our custom orders for now.
The Vagabond Scarves will be in the shop by Friday, October 31st. I urge you to take a gander!Different sizes & colors.
Tonight we’ll carve our pumpkins. One from the market- the other from my husband’s step-father’s garden. At some point today I will be picking up Halloween candy.(what to get- what to get- maybe sending a preggo isn’t the best idea!?) This will be the first year we’ll actually have some Trick or Treaters! I’m so excited! We also have our costumes to work on for the Halloween party on Saturday. Plus, I need to finish up the birthday girl’s gifts and get started on a few coffee cuffs as Thank-You gifts. A lot to do. I’m already feeling out of breath! I’ve opened most of the windows to entertain the kitties and let the fresh air in. Last night I was very sick, so I’m trying to get a lot done but in a mosey sort of way. No actual time constraints!! For an easy-on-the-tummy dinner I’m making soup.
What are your plans?
