So last time we tried out Sock Stop. And the verdict was 'does indeed make things grippy...but also you can feel it under foot.' So now we're trying another product, this time Plasti Dip. It's pretty much what it sounds like (rubberized coating in a tin) and is meant, as [...]

Look, I am easily amused. I freely admit it. And I don't even think it's a bad thing. I do, in fact, think it's quite delightful. Because it means I can be absolutely tickled pink by no end of ridiculous things...like putting grommets in my perfect little stitched notebook paper. [...]

The punched cards came Monday morning, which means I spent Monday afternoon stuffing envelopes and Tuesday afternoon printing labels and carting things off to the post office! Everything went in the mail Tuesday afternoon, which means nearby folks (I'm in Maine) will likely start finding treats in the mail as [...]

Two things!  One: The spiffy new tier on patreon (the one where you get to make your own amazing embroidered notebook paper) is closing tonight! So if you want in, this is last call. Head to this post for more details. Two: We've got a handful of Community Supported Patreon Memberships [...]

I just sent something special off to all my paid members on Patreon. Everyone just got a free copy of Duly Noted (the pattern for the unspeakably adorable embroidered notebook paper). Anyone with any level of paid membership gets the pattern, and Notable Nonsense folks get an actual package in [...]

Wanna see how the Sock Stop* samples came out? You can watch me wiggle them around over here (for, despite my best attempts, I cannot actually convey in words all the things I can show in a video). The verdict seems to be that it does, indeed, make for a [...]
