— okay, a lot frenetic. I typically try to keep my committed work weeks down to about 30 hours / week right now — that’s the time that I have to put in for teaching, prep, grading, school board work, SLF work. It doesn’t count writing or crafting time; that flexes as I have energy …
Editing to note, I was wrong, they don’t require UPC codes. Whew! They generate an internal SKU for us. *** Business question — I need to use UPC codes for the inventory tracking system at the new Berwyn Sprout shop. It looks like I have to buy them, the same way I have to buy …
Finished apron! And look how insanely adorable it is with the coordinating pinch potholders. I die. Pattern linked below. It’ll be in the Serendib @ Sprout store next week, fingers crossed!

Haven’t finalized everything that’s going to be in there, but I’m hoping for wolfberry scones and …
Took an hour to make resin bookmarks while listening to Nicola Griffith‘s _Spear_ on audiobook. This is my second recent attempt at listening to an audiobook (something I’d like to try to get in the habit of, since I listen to so many podcasts, and it’d be nice to use some of that time for …
I’ve been a little discombobulated lately — too much going on in too short a time. But I had a story due to a magazine, so I came out to the shed this morning to do a final read-through (I always read my stories aloud as a final step in finishing them, yes, the novels …
That’s a wrap on Anand’s 14th — they decided to go back to Cards Against Humanity (with a steadily growing ‘quarantine!’ pile for any card they determined too embarrassing or icky), and much laughter ensued. Eventually they came back in for some video gaming to close out the day, plus pizza. First guests arrived at …
Took a little break to remove ferns from the flower press, gather geranium leaves, and press them. Pretty pretty.
