Now that I’ve finished 3-4 months of off-and-on travel doing promo for our book Tiny Homes, I’m thankfully at home and catching up on working out, chores around the homestead, food obtaining and processing, and fishing. At the same time, I’m well into the design phase of our next book, Wheels and Water: Tiny Homes on the Move. I’ve done layout of 10 pages, and material is pouring in. Several good nomadic homes have come from the current Mother Earth News article on Tiny Homes, and Lew and I continue to dig up material online. More importantly, we have a growing network of builders and home-oriented people contacting us.

   These days I actually look forward to checking my email each morning. There’s lots of feedback from our building books (“I was inspired to build this…”), leads to interesting websites, and daily incoming material for the new book. I love what I’m doing, especially when I get the time (away from publishing biz stuff) to do layout.

I’ve said it before, but Kent Griswold’s Tiny House Blog is just the best thing going for tiny homes on the blogosphere. A feature I really like is his “Tiny House in a Landscape” category, of which this is the latest. “…photographs taken by Linda Lacy from California. Linda says: I took these photos at Malakoff Diggings, a California State Park that has been “cut” from the state budget. This is a wonderful area with lots of tiny houses.…”

To my eye, this is a perfect little building. Everything looks right. Got soul.

“Hi Lloyd,

I read your blog regularly and love the mix of ideas. Don’t know if you’ve seen this but I found a site with simple plans for furniture and household items. Matthias Wandel grew up in Canada where his parents bought an old sawmill, and built and rented out tourist cabins. Matthias is also an artist and woodworker with new articles each week. He’s posted lots of pictures of his father’s woodworking projects, from unique door latches to cabins with all the furnishings. Naturally I thought of you.
