I have seeds to share? Have you looked at my garden or garden photos and wanted some of my plants? I’d down to trade seeds (or maybe something else?) for my seeds. Be warned that I think my yard is a weird micro-climate due to our giant sheltering Himalayan Cedar. Here’s what I have:
Calendula-all the ones in my yard grow yellow.
Borage-These are blue and lighter blue to white depending on...
Ack! hello neglected blog!
I recently put out a new newsletter.You can read it online here. It has info about some of my new button designs, upcoming travel plans, and discount codes for both my Etsy and Small World buttons shops. I believe there is still a day or two to purchase things and have them arrive in time for Giftmas.
Speaking of travel! I found super cheap tickets to LA and snagged a...

Hey tumblrfolks.
A friend and I wrote this article, and we need some critiques/edits/ideas/arguments against/reviews/etc… etc… about it. We figured since most of our friends who read it know where we’re coming from, and are perhaps, limited in that way in terms of their…
This read as all too familiar…
Late one night in 1989, a few weeks before I started jr. high, I stayed up late and watched a movie called Heathers. It was a revelation. I was a non-Mormon girl living in the suburbs of Utah and I had a “weird” name. This movie didn’t make me want to kill people and make it look like a suicide or blow up my school, but it taught me that I didn’t have to try to be like the popular people and that...
September 26-30 New York, NY
Monday Paul and I took a Megabus from Philly to NYC. I too a scary Chinatown bus from NYC to Boston before and this was not scary at all. It was really nice. We got into NYC early and tried to go to the Met to stash our packs and look at cook stuff but it was closed. Totally stupid to close a major museum on Mondays. We ended up sitting in the park and reading books...
October 5-6 Mechanicsburg, Pa—>Gettysburg, PA—>Washington, DC
Leaving Canastota was sad but we had adventures to get to! My friend Angel, who did my acorn and oak leaf tattoo, was working out of a shop in Mechanicsburg and I wanted a new tattoo! Paul and I got into Mechanicsburg early and walked around and found this silly sign that made me laugh.
In my mind there are rats and cats and...

This is a comic by my friend Theresa. She is rad and a good friend. She is wicked smart, has a great sense of humor, and keen eye for injustice.

At least once or twice a month I have a discussion with someone new to the zine community about why I chose not to support Microcosm Publishing. Here is Ciara’s blog post about the cancellation of the Microcosm-related “Bikes and Dinner” event in Lawrence, KS.
In a near perfect world people wouldnt be shitbags and be accountable for their shit behavior. The...

“Why we’re no longer hosting the Dinner & Bikes Tour and Joe Biel” http://minnehahafreespace.org/2011/09/25/dinner-bikes-joe-biel-abuse/
also note the comment by Hel.
here we go again. This is getting ridiculous.
Tonight Paul, my sister Webly, and I are catching a red eye to Philadelphia. This weekend we are going to Riot Fest. It’s kinda silly but sometimes it’s worth going to shows that make you feel 17 again. I’m excited to see Plow United, Weston, and the Dead Milkmen. I can take or leave 7 Seconds, X, Hot Water Music or the Descendents. The Descendents used to be one of Paul’s favorite bands....
These are the two zines I created this year.They were each released already but have been repackaged and reprinted.
Brainscan #27
A tiny zine that reads like a snapshot. 1/12 legal sized (3″x4″) 28 page mini zine, A single story wrapped in photocopier art. This zine takes place in an elevator between a 9th floor divorce lawyer and the ground and a bike ride home. It explores disappointments and...
First, my friend Kurt interviewed me while he was staying in our guest cave a few weeks ago. Go here and hear what I have to say about stuff and things when someone else asks the questions. Kurt is pretty great. We knew each other on the internet for years and I just knew we’d get along well in real life. We had some good conversations. I hope to do it again sometime.
Paul and I spent the weekend...
My sister’s bike was stolen. It was locked up in her backyard in Kenton (North Portland) It is a dark green Terry. The really sad thing is that bikes are really hard to find for short ladies. Gr. Anyway, if you see this bike let me know.
There is a special place in hell for bike thieves, indeed!
At least cats are still cute.
This is what you see out of our kitchen window. The next door...
I joined this Facebook group to challenge myself to write 15 minutes per day in September. It’s been really helpful. I expected to write for the fiction split but the muses had other things in mind. I have been compiling a zine about zine events. It has been going really well. I have been kicking around the idea that there should be a calendar of zine events. Well, in true DIY fashion, I started...
Compiling a list of zine events
ZINE EVENT CALENDAR
taken from my blog here.
I have been thinking there should be an updated list of zine events and then I figured I should just do it myself. I’m really going to try to update this monthly. Feel free to leave comments with links to events that I am missing.
There are three section to this: Current events with dates, events that happen regularly but don’t have dates yet,...
