Getting the guest room ready yesterday for Ben’s arrival. We’re teaching Clarion on Zoom, but we thought we’d do better co-teaching if we could be in the same place, and I have a guest room, so here we are. The bedspread on the bed is done in kantha style, with a simple white running stitch […]

I have nothing scheduled, for the first day in oh, a long time. Trying to take it as a vacation day — no pressure on myself to start summer writing (that can come on Monday). There’s been a lot of family needs / nurturing other people the last few weeks, and I don’t mind that
I have been more scattered than usual lately, and as a result, completely forgot to label my spring Patreon treats before sending them out.
