Would You Believe…*
An entire hope chest of quilts? Howabout a double wedding ring quilt? No? Okay, it was just a small baby quilt, but it took time and effort gosh darn it. I had to avoid the computer totally, knowing if I allowed myself to sit down and glance at the blogs, I wouldn’t get the silly thing done.
Before that I was being a bad blogger, but a very good writer, and spending my evening time on the laptap tip-typing away. Which is where I’m going to be in another 45 minutes (hopefully).
Right now I’m waiting for two more silk-screens to dry, dyeing a whole slew of baby clothes bright green, and doing the laundry. Multi-tasking is my life. Tho’ last night I lay down next to the Punkin to get her to sleep at 8:30 pm, and finally woke up and went to my own bed around 4 am and didn’t get up again until 7:30. Sleepy-bye night-night, Nessili.
For those of you who get US News and World Report, what did you think on the article on publishing? Especially the section on PODs. I’ve just scanned it, but the writers of the article certainly seem to like the idea of Print on Demand. They even mention Lulu and CafePress.
I hope to get back to semi-regular blogging this week, but I’m not sure if the weekends are going to throw me off again–I have Irish dance performances on the 11th, 18th, 19th, April 1st, and possible 8th. Busy ol’ me.
Happy Birthday to my dear Hubby the Mighty Bargain Hunter!

POD is not real publishing and Lulu and CafePress are self publishers. this kind of publishing is for someone who just wants their name in print. you get no help at promoting it or getting it into bookstores. They will tell you glorious stories about it, but come check out the net…Google POD’s and Vanety Presses….not good!
You are a real workhorse….I bow to your worthiness!

I know PODs aren’t real publishing–I did my own research a while back (they’re still sending me emails!). But the people who read that article will get the wrong idea about PODs and vanity press, especially since a celebrity (Jack Klugman) supports them. Miss Snark would set them straight real quick, but she and Killer Yap don’t have the time to teach them all the error of their ways.
