The News

Whew, its been a busy couple months!

To begin with, I've spent the last +/- month and a half planning a trip to Peru! I'll be spending most of November there, starting out with a textile conference and workshops in Natural dyes and Backstrap loom weaving, and then traveling. We'll begin our post-conference travels with Machu Picchu, then explore Cuzco, move on to Puno, where we'll spend a night on the Island of Amantani with a local family before returning to Puno and going next to Colca Canyon. After the canyon, we'll see Arequipa, then on to the coast to see the Nazca lines, the Islas Ballestas, and a side trip to Ayacucho before ending our trip in Lima. Sound like a lot? It is! But I'm excited to see everything. I only wish I had another month, so I could see the northern half of the country as well...

The other big news is that Ryan and I are moving across the country! Ryan accepted a post-doc position at MIT, where he'll be helping plan a conference and working on spacesuit design. So come end of October, we'll be heading to Cambridge, where we finally found a place to live. The rest of this month will be a whirlwind of packing for both things and getting rid of as much as I can... so in that vein, for October, blog readers get 50% off anything in my etsy store!
