Today is my own personal Independence Day. Today I celebrate the fact that I am still alive despite an abusive ex’s hands, and despite my mother’s willful and deliberate blindness. Today I celebrate the rebirth I took from that abuse; the way it propelled me into motion. Today I celebrate how it gave me an [...]

on temporary abdication (or: is it possible to fire a month? also, OH GOD, I’m freaking out in public)
This month is a rough one. First, someone broke into our back hut, but we didn’t think much of it. There wasn’t anything to steal. Well, some Wollmeise, a screenprinting machine, some beautiful silk roving, that sort of thing- but the thieves didn’t know well enough, so they left it all alone. We popped the [...]

on priorities (and pie)
Ever wonder what you’d take with you if your house caught on fire? As it so happens, we just got the opportunity to find out. Yesterday afternoon we came home to discover that an unused oven in our utility room somehow began a fire. Luckily no one was hurt, but it’s been upsetting. Everything we [...]

in which the raffle is performed, with many (mostly ridiculous) photographs
Garrett’s project, Beyond The Light, received 102% funding on Kickstarter! The project closed on his birthday- and I think this was one of the nicest presents he could have received. Thank you so, so much to everyone who helped to make this happen- to everyone who donated, to everyone who tweeted, or passed the message [...]

beyond the light
{ETA: If you donate and you’d like to be added to the raffle, please send me an email at onmytiptoes@gmail.com!} My talented brother- in- law- to- be, Garrett Sendlewski, works as an animator & is working on a short film called Beyond The Light. He’s asking for pledges for funding in exchange for production credits, [...]

in which there is an ending, a beginning, and a new adventure
The news is true: The Sanguine Gryphon is disbanding. In January 2012, Cephalopod Yarns is beginning. I’m spending tonight caught between two places, in limbo between 2.5 years of hard work and a future of new adventures. I don’t know what to say tonight. This is hard, because it is both an end and a [...]

in which I am shrinking
I want to talk about body issues, but I need to work my way there. Stick with me, okay? My neurologist put me on a new drug. He told me there were good results with Topamax and Neurontin together as a migraine prophylaxis. I’ve been on the mega- dose of Neurontin for over a year [...]

in which there is disclosure
To be honest: I’ve been avoiding you. It’s been a long and challenging few months; challenging in a mostly positive way, but stress is still stress, and I haven’t had the words to really articulate what I’ve been experiencing. That isn’t 100% honest, either: I have the words, I’m just lacking the readiness. So much [...]
