You get money from a book you published on a date you can't predict. it will be a sum you can't predict. you will never know if the ranch is saved or not. Everyone makes interest off your royalties before you do, and you're probably not making *any* interest at all

My latest YT video has gone live & it's not a tutorial!
I explain how I developed my technique & why, & how it's different to other methods of creating colourwork with short rows. It's something I discuss in my book/classes/lectures, it was tricky trying to keep it short 🧶

Seeing fewer fireflies this year? Here's why, and how you can help.
Fireflies are vulnerable to climate change and habitat loss. A few landscaping tricks and turning off porch lights can make a big difference.
