A problem and a plan
So I have a sweater, a problem, and a plan. The sweater is this lovely yellow, cotton, store-bought number. The problem is that there's not quite enough room in the armscye, so it ends up being weirdly tight in the armpit (do I feel weird saying this? yes! am I [...]
August Notable Nonsense Closing Soon
There are a lot of packages to go out this month, so I dragooned some dear friends into an afternoon of envelope stuffing, built a tower of laundry hampers (no really, this whole business runs out of a dozen laundry hampers, it's by far the easiest way to store/sort/lug/corral everything) [...]
Indigo update
Quick update on the ongoing delight that has been this summer's indigo vat. I fully intended to play with this once and be done with it, but instead I have found myself keeping it going for several weeks and just sort of idly playing with dipping (and redipping and reredipping) [...]
And they’re off!
I handed goodie bags over to the postman this morning, and they should start hitting mailboxes later this week! In theory, you should get emails with tracking numbers once the packages are scanned, in practice my experience has been that they often aaaactually go out a day or two after [...]
Super secret shenanigans
There miiiiiiiight be a super secret thing happening, in very small numbers, tomorrow over on Patreon. The details of which might just happen to all be right over here. You know, just in case you missed out on either the phenomenally cool zip up pouches or the unspeakably awesome mail [...]
I might have solved it!
I may (and I emphasize may) have found the solution to slippery slippers! Or if not the solution then perhaps at least a solution (most real world problems having more than one solution if you sit with them long enough). If you're just joining us, the slippery slipper saga has several previous parts [...]
Monthly Remider
Two quick things: A Texas cop used a nationwide network of more than 83,000 license plate reader cameras to hunt down a woman he suspected had taken abortion pills.* Missouri Senator Josh Hawley asked acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to investigate and prosecute Plan C for providing information about where [...]
Unsolicited advice
Unsolicited advice is received as criticism. I read that a couple of years ago and it changed the way I behave and clarified why posting things like this bench on the internet is so hard. Because every time I do (ig posts over here and here), I get comments saying [...]
Further adventures in indigo
So I had people over, we put things in buckets, they came out blue, and a good time was had by all. But then, then a few days later as I was dragging the conglomeration of seating options I'd hauled out for the festivities back to their usual locations, I [...]
Help me decide!
Help me decide! Should we do a regular mail club shipment next week, or a double mail club shipment next month? These started out with the organza laces (shout out to the eight year old ballerina still dwelling deep in my heart), and the original plan had been to send [...]
