About Me

I just moved from ol' Tejas to the western slopes of lovely Colorado. I have a big fluffy cat who meows like teeensy baby and befriends houseflies. I ride my bike places and I like to make things the old-fashioned way. I am currently obsessing over locally grown food. I'm the craftiest person you're likely to meet. Also, I like to bake a lot.
I made this cake for my supercute friends, Amy and David.

also, i am a very lucky girl cause i get to go to bed with these guys every night:

My Interests

Trying new things. Going new places, or old places again. Making music. Learning to play well with others. Eating spicy food.

I'd like to meet:

People with human characteristics. People who like to do things. People who listen closely.

Music:

here is some music that i made.

Movies:

I enjoy them from time to time. I'm big on documentaries.

Television:

It's probably your worst enemy.

Books:

I like them.

Egon, My Little Fleece Factory

The last time I got Egon shaved I asked the vet clinic to save his hair for me. I think they were kind of creeped out. I told them I was planning on spinning it into yarn, which I think...
