If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know I occasionally talk about an Apiary Puff Quilt (crochet) or a Beehive Quilt (knit) I’m working on. Both use something referred to as hexapuffs, or six-sided yarn created puffs stuffed with acrylic filling to give it a three-D look. It’s become my go-to pattern to use up […]

Second week of sheltering in place. Or as I like to think of it – Second verse, Same as the first, Little bit louder, And a little bit worse. We’re hanging in here okay at home, for the most part. There was one incident. Mom fell. Her leg slipped out from under her and

This week I’ve been spending wrapping my head around various projects and concepts. Nothing much I can report on yet, but there will be an announcement soon. I spent a day talking strategy with Melissa Snark. I had a few self-revelations about my writing process, what I can and cannot expect at this point in

The last few weeks have been rough for me, as you can see from how often I’ve been posting. It started just after FogCon. I got hit hard by a cold, despite making sure I slept and stayed hydrated during the con. It knocked me out for about a week. It was all I could
In mid August, I will be driving to Spokane to attend Worldcon. In addition to attending panels and hanging out with awesome people, I will be participating in the Masquerade. I’ve got a lot I need to get done before I go — make sure the Klingon costume is properly packed, prep music and documents
