An Intro from Mom

On May 12, 2007 closed in the privacy of my bathroom I found out I was pregnant. The weight of knowledge that my life (and most likely my body) would never be the same was overwhelming. I was excited and scared all rolled into one (and still am!)

Thacker will do his best to share with you his adventures. Enjoy!

The Mice Needles Have Been Clacking

My tailors are mice, 
Their needles are clacking. 
They sew really nice
While I'm out backpacking.
We have a good time
And we run a tight gig.
We sew lots of stuff
Even though we're not big.
This fleece is quite warm
I assure you my friend,
Now if you will excuse me 
I have mice to tend. 

Ryan Williamson, The Mouse Works 

Mom and I like to support local shopping spots. Mom found Mouse Works a few years back and we've been rocking our Mouse Works hats ever since. Ryan has partnered with a fleece manufacturer to get their scraps. He uses these scraps to make his wonderfully colorful and FUN creations. He is very resourceful and committed to the environment. His waste each year fits into ONE grocery bag. This year we gave a few hats for gifts.
