My broken apartment
It’s been hot in Minneapolis. Very hot. 90s/30s. Not as humid as being on the coast but still hot. I avoided using the A/C because I was afraid if I tried turning it on, I would discover it was broken. But last night I just couldn’t take it anymore…I was even getting mad at Glee. [...]

Herbal supplements and the FDA
Not a new topic, but the NYTimes has an article about how some study of various herbal supplements found contaminants, like lead, in most of them. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/26/health/policy/26herbal.html It had me first thinking, ya I have a right to roll my eyes and those dumb herbal supplements! Which is sometimes true (given how some people have [...]

So this is the very first draft of my radio drama. It’s still missing a few pieces and music, and now I need to figure out how to edit it to make it sound better…cooler. I’m not as happy with it as I thought I would be. Any thoughts are welcome!!! Third coast draft 1

Shibori quilt!
ok it’s not a quilt now…it’s just squares laid down the way I want to make a quilt. I’m amazing at how fun/easy this was to do!! The only thing is that all the black turned out slightly differently since I dyed them all at different times, and none of the black is as “vibrant” [...]

First shibori results almost
I bought some clamps and added to what I’ve got And after I died…here’s what I got! They’re still wet so I can’t iron them. I am shocked at how much the dye doesn’t go through…the one with the little squares are the clothespins which says a lot about those! The one that is barely [...]
