Up and Running
In between preparing for classes, trying to weave or at least do something productive in the studio each day, running back and forth trying to get the new cpu on line…it’s been a week. However, here she is! Thank you to those folk who helped by contributing my my ko-fi account. I bought my first…

Next!
Today the last of the padded envelopes will be taken to the post office. Tomorrow the multiple copy orders will be mailed. They don’t qualify for the small packet rate and require different customs forms, so it is just easier to deal with those last. Once the ‘dust’ of dealing with the books is over,…
