I love short weeks. When Friday comes it feels like a nice surprise. Below are some links to help you ease into another weekend. As for me, I’m off to D.C. and if you are local you should check out the Capitol Celebration at the National Mall, Regina Spektor is just one of the great acts that are part of the celebration.
A harsh critique of J.K. Rowling from an author who has his own series about a little boy with extraordinary powers.
The coolest bookstore in Beijing.
The best cartoon for geeks like me. (A long day in front of the computer and I end up like this.)
Can you teach writing? Kureishi says no.
Twelve years of reading magazines.
The biggest drawing in the world!
The NYTimes embraces the internet.
What was your camp experience like? I was never as miserable as this author.
How to unleash your creativity.
Just how many calories are in that bite?
Wow this is installation art I really want to see.

You can see one of the messenger bags in the corner of this pictureThe craft sale at the Tranzac went pretty well. I had Bradley to keep me company and a few friends dropped by. So nice to see you!
I'm wondering about going back this weekend. I don't have a table reserved but the organizer said I could come by and there would either be a cancellation or she could find me a small table/corner. So if you missed me last week you could come this weekend.
My table was a bit dark so these aren't great pictures, but here are some of the bags:
These are my new needle books. There are just three left. The covers are brown cordoruy or linen, with wool applique flowers and cream-coloured wool pages.
I found this glass tray recently and used it to display my jewellery:
I like the Tranzac Club. I used to live on Brunswick Avenue in a rented studio apartment on the third floor of one of the old Victorian houses. Now that I think of it, the bathroom floors on the second floor had nice old hexagonal floor tiles. And I used to go to the Tranzac a lot. They have lots of different events there, including my friend John Southworth who played last Saturday evening - a show I was sorry to miss. And they've had lots of crafts shows over the years, back when I was wondering if I would try it myself one day. So it feels quite cosy...and sort of nostalgic.
Glad you had a good show. Your bags look great :)
I always adore your needlebooks. They are my favorite of your items.
I also use a mirror tray just like that to display my vintage button bobbies at the store I have my wares at in Hoboken.
Glad you had a good craft show
I really like your needle books. They look great!
Everything looks so beautiful! I particularly love your needlebooks and bags. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
