Welcome. I'm starting this blog partially because it seems like everyone else has one, so why not me too? So then I figured I had better come up with some reasons for having a blog. Mainly I would like a space to write about issues relating to my small business on etsy.com, (www.labudde.etsy.com), where I sell all kinds of things that I make: laptop cases, clothing, accessories, etc.
One of my dreams since about the age of 12 was to be a fashion designer. Ok, granted, 12 year olds have lots of silly dreams that aren't actually worth pursuing, and wanting something when you are 12 isn't necessarily a good business plan. But, I am post-college and find myself always making things of some kind, and additionally, jobless, so I decided now was as good a time as any to make this happen.
I also like writing and thinking, so this is a good space to record some ideas, and to do some reflecting about why I do what I do. And maybe someday other people will read this blog too, whether they be friends, family, or (someday?) fans.
About me:
I have dabbled in all kinds of art and craft; drawing, printmaking, painting, knitting, weaving, crocheting, jewelry making, woodworking, sewing, and bookmaking. I am thrifty. I am also by nature a collector. I collect old books, coffee mugs, pebbles, buttons, secondhand fabric and beads. I love to cook, I am a beer conoisseur, I like rock climbing, and tea is often an integral part of my seduction strategy.
I am from upstate New York originally, I work for Outward Bound in Maine, and I went to college in Colorado. I have one sister, also an artist, and two wonderful parents.
