Today, I officially become a two-blog gal. I used to have a blog on my freelance site, but it went dark a while ago because I just didn't know what to write/how to blog/how to keep up with it. I feel like writing Dragonflight Dreams the last few years has taught me...
1. The puppy is high maintenance for the next two week. She got herself an ear infection, and also apparently dogs get seasonal allergies just like humans do. So we have an ear cream, a special shampoo, prescription pills and Benedryl. And most of those have to be...
Now that the craft show is past, I've been attending to a lot of the other to-do list items for my shop. First up, I'm finally getting photos of the made-to-order shirts on an actual person! Witness: Yeah, that's just me wearing them. I never know what to do with my...

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...
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...
