Get 'em while they are hot!

The Tweed Chicken had a photoshoot today out in the lovely spring sun.


Why so much attention? Well, I've opened an etsy shop. Thats right, now you can get your very own tweed chicken via etsy and the US Postal Service.





I'm also selling wallets made from recycled tyvek envelopes and vinyl banners from the bart station.





You can even get a button to show your tweed chicken pride.


I havent actually sold anything through etsy yet, but I know there are a lot of people out there who could use a little tweed chicken in their lives and hopefully this will help spread the love.

We finished our move a few weeks ago but are still getting settled. Im working on acquiring some additional furniture so we can finish unpacking and I can get back into all of my projects. I've been scouring craigslist for the perfect finds but it is so time consuming to find anything that falls under a generic description. We have made one late night trip to ikea, but otherwise have relied heavily on donations from my parents and some carpentry. I have gotten one thing from craigslist though, a table to serve as ground zero for crafty adventures. It is your classic 1950's kitchen table complete with two spring loaded pull-out leaves. I think it goes nicely with my 1950's sewing machines.



I do occasionally feel nostalgic about our old place although the nearly constant cold rainy weather of the last two weeks would not have been any more fun with 85% of the walls comprised of unsealed single pane windows. Nonetheless the full southern exposure in the winter was something close to heaven for me on sunny days and I will miss it.


I made a set of photos of the old place, a retrospective if you will, and you can see them on flickr.
