Bright bright bright
I do, generally, try not to soothe my feelings with capitalism. But I needed more of that neon embroidery thread (because oh the notepapers made with it are my favorite). And it seemed silly not to order enough to make shipping from overseas worth it, right? And oh, oh but [...]
Paper Prep
Now that you've gathered all of your supplies, you can set to work prepping the paper for stitching! That basically means cutting it to the right proportions (if you're so inclined, you are of course allowed to skip this or any other step if it sounds too fiddly to you [...]
Shitty first drafts
Stayed up past my bedtime playing with my toys. These things are bound to happen, I'm sure you understand. P.S. these are first drafts of the idea I had twenty minutes before I made them, the next draft will be much better, and the version after that will actually start [...]

Tactile Object
I can think of very few objects as deeply satisfying to hold and interact with as these little pieces of embroidered notebook paper. All available evidence seems to indicate that y'all are enamored with them too, so clearly we need to make it easy for as many of us to [...]
And they’re off!
This morning found me at the post office bright and early to hand over three bins stuffed to the brim with happy mail! Packages should start arriving as early as tomorrow for local folks (Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire), and later in the week for folks a little farther away. That [...]
