Howdy! No life updates this week: My leg is still broken, I'm still dealing with a bad breakup, and I'm still The New Guy (tm) at work. Things are easier to bear because I'm now used to bearing them. C'est la vie. applewood and I have been DM'ing back and forth about hosting an Arts & Crafts thread. I keep promising him I'm going to make it, but then I think about all the crafts I haven't been doing and I end up not pulling the trigger. Sorry, applewood! I've been thinking about what an ongoing thread like that would actually look like, though, and I think I've been inspired by all the time spent not reading Ursula Le Guin (but feeling like I really should read some Ursula Le Guin): I like the idea of a less frequent Hubski Crafts Show thread with regularly scheduled update threads, e.g. a weekly thread for talking progress, and a monthly thread for showing finished products. Consider this an interest survey! Would this format encourage you to start new crafts? Would you be interested in participating in such a series of threads? Do you like my proposed format, or would you prefer something else?
