  3. I have committed gardening again, and this time ended up with a sunburn. 12:43 PM May 25th via TweetDeck
  4. Yesterday, despite the hordes of ants, I gardened. I did not inherit my mother's green thumb, though, so it may all come to nothing. 6:55 AM May 25th via TweetDeck
  5. One more, then I have to process more photos: Glasgow Roses card tinyurl.com/c6g7qd6 7:37 AM May 22nd via TweetDeck
  6. And now the spring peepers card: tinyurl.com/c5553j5 (I will try not to overwhelm you all with Etsy stuff.) 7:21 AM May 22nd via TweetDeck
  7. In my attempt to get my Etsy shop up to date, I have added the coelacanth card: tinyurl.com/boelnru Only one of these on hand. 7:06 AM May 22nd via TweetDeck
  8. I have finally added a new thing to one of my Etsy shops: Egyptian Scarab letterpress card tinyurl.com/6osrotc More to come. 2:41 PM May 21st via TweetDeck
  9. Lots of driving today, which meant lots of time in the sun, but now I'm so sleepy I can hardly keep my eyes open. zzzzzz 2:10 PM May 21st via TweetDeck
  10. Blog post with lots of pictures: The Vanishing Bestiary 1: Dodo tinyurl.com/722tuks Warning: Contains Dodos. 5:03 PM May 20th via TweetDeck
  11. So as soon as my worktable is no longer in direct sunlight, I will proof this lino properly (with non-water-based ink). 12:43 PM May 20th via TweetDeck
  12. Water-based printing ink is cheap, readily accessible, and easy to clean up. I *every* other way possible, it sucks. 12:41 PM May 20th via TweetDeck
  13. Ah, yes. Now I remember why I never use water-based block printing ink. 12:39 PM May 20th via TweetDeck

  17. Good: tonight I drew some dodos. Bad: drawing dodos distracted me from starting the next chapter in my novel. 8:18 PM May 18th via TweetDeck
  18. Turns out it was a good thing I only just now went to get the mail. My @Wacom iPad stylus was there, and I'd never have got anything done. 3:03 PM May 18th via TweetDeck
  19. Also I did actual work. Probably I should try to space the blogging out better. I might actually update more if I did. 2:05 PM May 18th via TweetDeck
