i'm abi and like to create things with my hands.
Things i like: sewing, baking, taking photographs, running, yoga, nutrition, natural living, thrifting, tea, and mid-century decor... to name a few.
I live in the Pacific northwest.
I married Joshua S Porter, a musician and author, on November 11 2007. He is the funniest and most talented person I know, plus he's tiny and we can share jeans.
He tours the country with his band for several months every year, which has allowed me to see 46 states numerous times. I now stay home from tour to live a more normal life but it will always have a special place in my heart.
This is my kitty, Tofu. But everyone calls him mosey. We love him like a child...
I hope you enjoy reading my blog and getting a peak into the quirks of my life, the things I eat, the stuff I make and things i'm currently loving.
if you have a question or just want to say hello, please email me. I'd love to hear from you!

Aww thanks for sharing! Your husband is hot; I mean that in the most respectable way possible.
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures. Especially the one in Paris where your red tights match your lipstick. But I'm just so curious, why do you have a MAC tattoo? It looks like the same font as the cosmetics company and I was wondering if that's really what it was for.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
