RIOT

Here's the new work, this one is a bookbag and it is huge, it is designed to fit LPs:



My snazzy stitching job:



Finito:



The lining and the LP pocket (MOM - the lining isn't CAMO, its CAMO-COLORED clouds, not advocating militarism, just clouds that can hide in the wilderness)



I'm going to take my camera OUT of my room TOMORROW to get some good snaps of the red leaves around here, and halloween costumes.

Late for the Mail Room

I was late for the mail room today which means that I missed getting my blanket which means that I'll sleep through another chilly-ish night. It's getting chilly-ish, the days are getting shorter. The few trees around that aren't evergreens are turning yellow and orange.

Tonight I made a fire on the beach with some friends - It was also yellow and orange. We weren't out there for too long, because we meant to go out to see the full moon but .. the coastline faces the wrong direction. We figured out mathematically: We'd have to wait until 1am to see the full moon over the Eld Inlet. Can't do that. Gotta wake up early tomorrow (and pack a lunch!) to go to Squaxin Island with my class. I'm very excited and interested and I have a list of questions to ask.

Here are some new bags. Piers and I have a lot of interested customers, non of whom are interested in paying.... Might set up a stand in Red Square when we've got more product.

Another messenger bag - much cleaner:





And a fanny pack !! Made out of a wild 90s winter jacket found at Goodwill





Also! The girls I've been playing music with (girl band formally called "4Skin") are invited to play a show on campus in November with a few other local bands! Practice all day Thursday (Rock'N'Roll Thursdays, Rock'N'Roll for breakfast, lunch, and dinner).

Just wanted to give a quick update. I'm going to try to carry my camera around more often so that I can post pictures of this world out here.

Serious Business

Piers and I are making waterproof messenger bags !! We have a lot of ideas of different designs, and we're taking requests! These are our first monsters, pretty simple just to get the hang of it.









Watch out R.E. Load !

Dreams, Realities

Dreams:

Last night I dreamt that I was in an animal museum with my bathroommate Paula. We were looking at a giant white lizard in a white marble case. I was talking about how I love the way that lizards move, and I started mimicking it, and the lizard got insulted and began to climb out of the cage. We didn't believe that it was climbing out till pretty late, and we started to run away. We tried to climb over a barrier to escape its chase, but I didn't get over and it bit me in the neck. Didn't hurt too bad.

Realities:

My roommate Maddy and I pasted this reminder on the mirror.
