writing my Nanowrimo novel thingy. And also an article that I'm feeling a little half hearted about, but that needs to be done if it is going to get done, and soon. Maybe both of these at the same time not such a good idea. But all of the writing ...

Get yer novel on

nobody@vox.com(Jenn F.) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 06:25:57 -0500

It is that time of year again! That's right, Nanowrimo time! I've signed up again, and again I have way too much on my plate so I'm not sure that I'll be able to finish... but hope springs eternal, and I said the same thing last year, the year be...

This morning while trying to get ready for me to go to my Letterpress class (yes, I'm taking a six week course in learning how to do Old Skool printing. With little type blocks. And an electric press from the thirties. I'm making Christmas gifts f...

Space baby

Last week I finished up a baby quilt for a friend who just had her first child... I included some fabric with space aliens on it :) And finished it just in time to find out that yet another friend has a bun in the oven. Seems like the product...

My love, Mr. P, has a new solo show opening at Irvine Contemporary in Washington, DC on October 30th. The work is fabulous (I should know, since I live with it!), so if you'll be in the area between Oct. 30th and December 12th, come see it! He'l...

good weekend. And then packing.

nobody@vox.com(Jenn F.) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 16:37:22 -0400

on the road again....

nobody@vox.com(Jenn F.) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 07:14:23 -0400

nobody@vox.com(Jenn F.) — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 07:36:49 -0400

The last few weeks have been crazy busy-- lots of stuff going on, including my hitting the road for work once again. Just got back last night from my first multi-day out-- the first of many to come. In the midst of all of that we had to say au rev...

Is it true?

nobody@vox.com(Jenn F.) — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 23:01:33 -0400

Is the Amazon conduit actually working again? I dunno-- the most recent update says October 15th... And yet, there they are.... books I've been reading that I actually managed to download and put into my library. Whoo! I even put in some v...
