The semester is over, so now I have three jobs for the summer: – catch up on all the backlogged e-mail (sigh) – write books – try to relax Relaxing is going to be the hardest of those; I’ve gotten really bad at it. But grilling is making for more low-key cooking (really loving the […]

One last set of pics from Saturday’s little maker faire at the house, including the earrings I bought myself for Mother’s Day. I’ve done a little resin & pressed flower jewelry work, but Ana Constantinescu‘s designs are leagues beyond what I’ve managed so far. Great inspiration!

And oh, I have some University of All Worlds tea towels; I should sew a couple of those up. For the science-fiction-loving-mom for Mother’s Day?

One of the main things I’m trying to work on right now is being a little more intentional about all my crafting, trying to make sure that they all tie to a book I’ve written. So instead of just having a big spinny rack full of shelves, tomorrow I’m going to try grouping the scarves,
