What do you create?
Reusable bags from recycled clothing. I also make other items like watch bands, collar necklaces, ipod cases and whatever I think all from recycled clothing.

I started out of concern for the environment and to find something constructive to do while I'm on a (hopefully) temporary medical disability.

Where can we find you on the net? (myspace, blog, etc.)
Is crafting your full time job?
Crafting is my full time job for right now.
What inspires you?
I get inspired by the articles of clothing I find. Sometimes I think of an item I want to create and I create it as I go. I'm sure that sometimes I find the absolute most difficult means to an end and pursue an even more difficult method.
Any crafts you would like to learn or are currently learning?
I'd like to improve my sewing. Needle felting seems interesting too. I'd like to do so many different things but if I knew too much it would only make my distractability worse.

About 30,000. We're a college town so the population varies.
Read anything good lately?
I'm currently reading a book about depression and anxiety that is teaching me a lot.

moms/dads?
I have a 20 year old daughter and an almost 18 year old son.
They're both unimaginably wonderful. I'm a very lucky person.
