…her granddaughter gigs with Fire ’n
Ice, a skinhead punk-grunge group that performs in sheer
black nighties and clown wigs—she plays mean electric hygrometer

Hey, this is the very first item to appear in my shop! Quite nervous about this whole selling online thing…there’s so much to learn and read up on, I’m feeling overwhelmed. How the hell do others do it?

Go! Make something beautiful…it is later than you think.
Ohhhh, just found your blog via Twitter and a link, it’s amazing. I think we have a few things in common! I am going to have a rummage around your old posts and it looks like I’m in for a bit of gorgeousness…
