Quick reminder that today is the last day to order from me for Valentine’s shipping. I’ll keep taking orders until supplies run out, but can’t guarantee shipped sweets will arrive in time after today’s orders. Link here. Plan for today: • 10 a.m. meet with student • finish sending out assignments for my students for […]

I think we’ve settled on Maram Magazine as the name for the ‘making’ magazine I’m hoping to start. It will be a joint venture of Serendib Press and the Speculative Literature Foundation, which has recently redefined its mission somewhat, to a literature AND arts focus. (That gives us more leeway to do all kinds of
I attended a meeting and for a full 50 minutes paid attention only to SLF stuff and didn’t think about the inauguration or Trump at all, which I consider a pretty heroic effort on my part; I deserve scones, and I shall have them.

Jed bought me a beautiful Melissa Binde Motley Woods pen for our anniversary. I picked the “Ice Dragon” pattern, and it is SO BEAUTIFUL. I’m putting it with the travel stuff, in the little kit of supplies I take to conventions and events, so I’ll have it on hand for signing books. I’ve never brought
Adventures in small businessing: I FINALLY figured out yesterday that if I actually tear the label sheets in half at the perforation, and then feed them through my printer, they don’t jam. So I don’t need to buy a dedicated label printer. Huzzah.
Morning, peeps. My plan for the day is: HOME: – post about the mask fabrics I have for autumn / Halloween (woot!) – sew more mask orders (going to try to whip through backlog in the next few days) – maybe try a new mask pattern? KITCHEN: – make a fresh batch of curry powder
This morning, I was listening to The Sporkful while weeding and planting autumn crocus bulbs. I really like the combo that I’ve discovered this year, of podcast + garden. It gets me exercising lightly, it makes otherwise tedious weeding tasks fly by, often I learn something. It’s funny, though — in this episode, I’m listening
