I am a musician and play banjo and sing in a little duo.

I also spend time with my parrots and dogs.

I am great at sewing and make all of my own clothes, and sometimes make things for other people when they ask.

Glad to hear from another person with diverse interests. Making all your own clothes must have some benefits!

It really does! I generally will buy used things from Goodwill and will revamp them, make them into cool and unusual bohemian threads. I definitely have a unique look, thanks to learning how to sew. My grandma taught me, as I lived with her growing up.

Oh! I also make really cool hair sticks and things! I forgot about that! I have very long hair, and make all kinds of hair swords and such to hold up my hair. Here are some hair arrows I made:

Wow! I'm impressed! That's a really cool, unique idea. You could sell things like that on Etsy, if you were so inclined.

You have superhero, crime fighting hair. I love it.

You never know when you're going to meet a bear as you walk down the acequia. Good to be prepared.

Very cool! I bet my fiancee would go wild about the things you make littlebirdie, -she is also very bohemian. Here's a panorama of her clothing store:

Your head would fit right in :)

Where are you and how can I get there?!?!?!?! That store is AMAZING!!!! Please tell your fiance that I adore it and her sense of style. :)

Haha, we're in MI. Anytime anybody has a positive emotional reaction to her store it makes her day, so I'll definitely let her know ;) She was feeling under the weather so I volunteered to mind it for her today. I took that picture when I saw your creations, -I swear they'd fit right in.
