A graphic shows the cover of the book, Five Little Indians. Text reads: 293 pages, Heartbreaking and tragic. I absolutely recommend, genre: literary fiction, read this book in 2 weeks, released in 2020, author: Michelle good.

Graphic shows I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars. The review reads: Five Little Indians Five Little Indians follows the lives of 5 indigenous peoples after they escaped or were released from residential schools in Canada where they experienced horrific abuse as children. They are dropped in the middle of Vancouver with little money or belongings, virtually no knowledge of life outside of the residential school, and no idea how to reunite with their families. With no counseling, they must all deal with their trauma in their own way. This book is absolutely tragic and heartbreaking, but there are some hopeful bright spots throughout. As difficult as it was to read this book, I think it is an important read.

Finally read Five Little Indianas by Michelle Good. 👀 📚 💙

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

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! 🎲

Thank you so much!

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 😅

Blood Over Bright Haven as a physical book, Between Wrath & Mercy as an ebook, and Assassin’s Quest as an audiobook.

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.

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)

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!
👀📚💙

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 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).
💙📚👀

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!

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

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.

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.
👀📚💙🐉📚

Solid reasoning!

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

And there ARE people who make a living selling their crafts! They just have to out in the effort *and* charge what they’re worth!

Screenshot of a Facebook comment where someone named Natalie tells me “but it’s not a human right to be paid for your writing. I would love to make a living from cross stitching but I can’t. Like, welcome to the world. Boycotts are painful, it’s why they can be so powerful. If it were easy then the thing we are boycotting would not necessarily be as powerful as they are e.g. Amazon”

Yikes. If you think authors don’t deserve to be paid for their work, you can go ahead and unfollow me and maybe fuck *all* the way off. 👀📚💙

BABE, WAKE UP!! Sleep Token just dropped a new single!!
