I talk about all the finished project pictures that got posted, end of school year happenings, and give a short book review on a YA series.

City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau

A surprise Sunday episode! I talk about my trip, meeting Jaye, and thoughts on my future in podcasting and how I want to adapt.

Jaye and I posed for some selfies:

It's the Daisycast! Daisy of Very Lazy Daisy joins me to chat about sewing, Thanksgiving, pie, and Walking Dead spoilers. Also, there's a bit of vomit reference up front so if you don't want to hear it skip forward to the 6 minute mark or so (Fred had an accident overnight- bleh).

Skype got a little temperamental so there's a couple drops/rejoins in there where we re-start the conversation. I did my best to even out the levels so hopefully it's not too jarring.

Enjoy this extra-long #BFSI cast!

It's the Distractedcast! Jett pops in for some heavy breathing into the mic, and I give an impromptu book review on something I saw on a blog and then immediately went and bought, which is rare for me.

Check out Scraps, Inc from Tauton Press.  During the blog tour you can get the book 30% off the original price Enter discount code SCRAPS30 (click on discount code for link), the code is good through Dec. 1st.

Note: in the course of the episode I sound pretty dumb when asked about Featherweights because I forgot Featherweights = Singer 221. Ooops.  I am not sure, however, what the difference is between a 221 and a 222, but perhaps Tina does?

A lot of chatter this week around various projects, distractions, and of course, cats.

You'll have to imagine the celebratory trumpets as you listen.  Woohoo! Four years of podcasting today.

Special retreat episode! I talk about feedback and chat with my friend Crystal at retreat briefly. Now back to sewing!  Here's what I've finished so far at retreat.

This week, I talk about preparing for retreat, my class with Kimberly Einmo, delightfulness, and the hazards of 80's hairstyles (there's a spot of language in that section, but I give a warning before it so you can turn it down if you have kids listening with you).
