#sewing (nerdy stuff, not clothing aside from the occasional costume/garb)
#books (SF&F mostly)
#bookbinding

@czmilosz Gave that one up when I moved away. Well, okay, awhile after I moved away, but still.
@gamehawk I worked with Carl at SouthWind. Please give him greetings from Matt Pankratz
@czmilosz I remember. You can greet him yourself... he's @CarlCravens.
@gamehawk yay bookbinding! do you hobby or do you do it as a business?
@pixelpaperyarn Definitely just a hobby. Don't have a book press even (yet; we're dangerously near Talas now so...)
Comes of living close to a Tandy Leather and visiting too many craft shows and renaissance faires and seeing the prices on limp-binding longstitch books and thinking "I could make one of those." (Result: spending more on hides than I would have on books.)
@gamehawk oh nice! i do all paper stuff when i actually have time to do it. did a couple coptic stitch journals which was amazing to finish.
convinced my newly retired dad that making bookbinding presses and sewing frames would be a great project, so i'm waiting for him to finish those up. :)
@pixelpaperyarn I have only made a couple of coptic stitch journals, but they're my favorite.
My bookbinding stuff is all packed up since the move, including the big lovely piece of high-quality plywood and hardware that is destined to become a press soon as we're back in a place where my husband's wood shop is not in storage. (We moved here knowing the company was going to relocate, so we're living the apartment life for now. Two-story 3br townhouse, but still smallish.)
