"Self Portrait" Feb. 22nd brought some of the coldest temperatures of the winter to the Twin Cities- and it was the one year anniversary of me moving into my house. It seemed like a great day to avoid leaving the house at all costs, and with that, a great day for my self-portrait. I moved to Minnesota from Oregon in 2011, and moved to Powderhorn when I purchased my home last year. With two great roommates, two sweet cats, and plenty of art, our little bungalow is pretty full. I make most of my own clothes and keep a sewing studio in the basement. I spent Sunday night working on a long languished wool coat project, which with any luck will finally be completed soon.
