Last Thursday I hopped on the train heading to Portland to take a shoe making class (Laughingcrowe)!
I love my shoes so much and the class was fabulous! So much so that I brought home tools with me so I can do it again. I also have some other leather projects in mind. And well...thinking by the end of the week I'll use my pattern again to make wool slippers.
Making shoes was the last piece of a goal I set for myself, to make every item of clothing that I am wearing. More on this later.
I didn't take many pictures of Portland, too busy looking, soaking in some sunshine and worrying about finding the train station.

A really cool fence on the way to class:
One of the very best parts of the trip was staying with a friend I've known since we were 10. Thank you Renee and Kevin for your hospitality and more good memories.
I did take quite a few pictures on the train...The trip was beautiful.
Almost to Portland.
