OMG! We busted out Munchkin last night. I haven’t played it in years. Guess what I found in the box?? One of my missing Chessex Confetti Borealis (the d10)!! Now I’m only missing the d8 and d12! 🎲

Clear dice with rainbow sparkles. Pictured is the d4, d6, d10, d20, and the percentile die.

I did it!! I just finished my VERY LAST book sleeve in preparation for the craft fair! It brings me to a total of 109 across 3 different styles and 2-3 different sizes of each style.

It’s amazing how somebody can be an energy vampire through text/voice messages. I love being shit on when I was trying to be nice.

Aww thank you so much! For a while, I thought I’d never make it to the end 😂

Thank you! I think I am down to my last 12 to be sewn!!

Heck yeah! I sewed 7 book sleeves today! Almost TWICE what I normally sew! I think that brings me to a total of 96 sleeves sewn. I’m going to try to get a handful of bookmarks sewn up, too, before I call it a night.
Please tell me you’re proud of me 😅

78 book/kindle sleeves in various sizes… and it still doesn’t feel like enough to fill a table at a craft fair. (I still have about 30 to go)

Fabric dust jackets, book sleeves, and kindle sleeves in various sizes and fabric patterns stacked up on a table. The patterns include donuts, florals, waffles, abstract, paw prints, firefly characters, and precious moments.

On June 5, 1865, Black Union soldiers of the 25th Army Corps arrived in Galveston, spreading the news of freedom to the enslaved. On June 19, Gen. Granger issued Gen. Order 3, enforcing emancipation in Texas. 62 days until Slavery Remembrance Day. #HappyJuneteenth #CountdowntoSRD

Don’t Let the Forest in was beautiful and terrible and it ripped my heart out and I loved it so much! You should go read it!

I started Don’t Let the Forest In and I’m really enjoying it. The prose is lovely and I’m really liking the storyline. It all reminds me of a drawing my son made (ironically, his name is Thomas, too).

Nothing sewn today, but I did prep 14 more sleeves. Hopefully I can hit my self-imposed quota of 4 tomorrow. It’s a busy day, but I’m hopeful I can do it!

Ooh I’m a little jealous! I’d have to drive an hour+ into Chicago to visit somewhere like that.

Yes, this exactly! Currently, my only options for buying local fabric are Walmart and Hobby Lobby and I really don’t want to be shopping at either one!

I have a little tabletop one and I wish I had a full size one. It takes up so much of my workspace but it’s fine for little projects. It does make ironing out yards of fabric tricky. (Note: I only use it for crafting/sewing. Never for ironing store bought clothes before I wear them.)

I’ve been chugging along, prepping for the craft fair. I have 70 book sleeves/dust jackets made. Only 38 more to go! I’ve been aiming for 4 per day. I need to leave myself time to build or find displays for everything!

I 3D printed some bookmarks today. The top set was my first attempt. They weren’t quite purple enough, so I fixed that on the bottom set.

3D printed bookmarks featuring skulls and leaves in shades of grey and purple.

Y’all. My daughter sang at an elementary concert last night. I had to sit through 23 songs before she sang - 3 of them were “bucket drums” and FOURTEEN were kids playing recorders. It was my own personal hell.

Okay, you’ve convinced me! Fantasy wins! I’ll be starting Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales.
The other options were Yellow Wife and Chain-Gang All-Stars.

A hand holds a hardcover copy of Wmily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales by Heather Fawcett. The cover is pink with various plants, mushrooms, stacks of books, and a snail on it.

Solid reasoning!

HippieKender @hippiekender.bsky.social · Mar 18

And it would complete a series!

Haha so true! (If I don’t laugh, I might cry)

Why do I always have such a hard time picking which book to read next? Will you pick for me?

• Historical Fiction
• Fantasy
• Dystopian
