Taking a page from Pip's book and using this list to do a life snapshot. These pictures are all things I see from my desk. Making : more stencils to continue playing with this new-to-me screen printing method. Cooking : waffles, sometime this weekend, to take our new...
Mark your calendar, folks, because the Indie A List plus members (myself included) are having a flash sale this Saturday! It's the annual summer flash sale, and it means that a whole bunch of shops are offering sizable discounts - but only for 24 hours! It's this...
Hidden (Dragonlands #1) by Megg Jensen. I received a free copy of this book for review from NetGalley. Oh, where to start with this one... How about the cover? You'll notice there's a dragon on it, and that the series is called Dragonlands, so it should be no surprise...

I took a screen printing workshop this weekend. It was a stenciling method I hadn't tried before, and was a lot of fun. It wouldn't work for all of my designs, but for some it will be a much quicker way of making a screen. And I learned some tips about...
Longbourn by Jo Baker. If Pride & Prejudice was turned into Upstairs/Downstairs or Downton Abbey, this would be the Downstairs portion. It's the story of the servants that we just get mere glimpses of in Austen's original, given their own histories and lives and...
