fyi

i'm backpacking through northern germany, denmark, and sweden, so there won't be any making or doing for at least another week.

machen und tun

my friends steffi's birthday was last week, so i borrowed a friend's sewing machine in berlin and put together a quick... thing? you be the judge. side note: my german is not yet good enough to understand the sewing machine manual.

mini making

here are a few small making projects i've done over the last couple of weeks:

i taught my mom how to knit. how many times does a son teach his mother how to knit? the next lesson will have to be welding. this is a picture with her and her squirrel towel.

while my mom was busy making clothes for rodents i was making another wrist band.

my snowboard bag before i fixed it...

...and then 30 seconds later.

my belt broke during the road trip from vancouver to colorado, so i cannibalized the buckle and with some cotton webbing and a new grommet i made a new one. ta-da.

the last minute sleeve for my new netbook.
