snow

Six of us spent two nights at Sierra Woods Lodge. It's just up the road from where I grew up, but the change in altitude makes it a completely different place. We managed to arrived just as a massive storm blew in and watching the snow fall from our cozy room with a glass of wine in-hand was pretty much this girl's idea of heaven. The next day was blue skies, then huge snow fall then more blue skies. I loved tromping along the pathway that a tractor had made through the woods, and our nighttime walk was glorious. Bazillions of stars! I'm not sure if it was the snow, or just being away from home, but I was totally inspired to take tons of photographs. Put on your mittens, it's going to get cold.

a working vacation

Even though we were in Austin for 4 nights, we saw very little of the city. The fair was all day Saturday and Sunday and our big day for looking around was inhibited by lightning and rain. I managed to take a few pictures and when loading them onto my camera I noticed they were almost all alcoholic beverages. I swear we did more than drink, but it'd be hard to prove it.

will travel

We're using Renegade's first trip to Austin as an excuse to go see the city. Traveling with all of our gear is going to be a new experience, so we have to start planning it like yesterday. I'm hoping to have a large stack of aprons to sell. And The Heated has a few new designs in the works, which can be previewed here.
