Link Love Friday

Posted on by lwidmer

It’s been quite a week. It started slowly, with little going on, but as the week progressed, the workload intensified, as did the contact with clients. I’m still trying to get to an agreement with one client, but in the meantime another contact from my magazine editor days got in touch. Seems I’ll be working…

More Bang-bang in Your Shoot-em-up

Posted on by lwidmer

Yesterday was a lesson in wheel-spinning. I got one article completed, then set out to get my new website put together. The one I have I really don’t like, so I’m revamping everything. Websites should show personality, not what you think clients want to read. So they’re getting me this time around. The copy is…

Committed

Posted on by lwidmer

Wow, yesterday was a struggle just to sit myself down in front of this computer screen. I remembered I wanted to get a hair appointment, called, and was in her chair instead of this one until lunchtime. In the afternoon I worked on an article, then on more marketing. I tutor my Vietnamese student Tuesdays,…

Diversifying

Posted on by lwidmer

There was an article posted last week about Demand Media’s move to shed itself of writers. What I find interesting wasn’t in the body of the story, but in the comments. There are a lot of angry people out there, but seeing a few of them virtually lynching other writers for offering help is, well,…

    I ran the rest of the packets for the conference, was at the Time Capsule Ceremony in my first official duty, did laundry, and fixed the hot water heater.

    Not my favorite way to spend the weekend! 😉

    I do now have 15,000 sheets of paper (three cases) in my office though. Well, a little less. It took about 3 reams to run the packets.

    Oh dear. Sounds like a busy week ahead of you, Devon! Hopefully they're already collated.

    I finished my Stepping Out Car Coat! Last weekend I was disappointed by the sleeve seams and realized I wanted a wider collar. The best thing? The wider collar hides the not-so-smooth parts of the sleeve seams. Woo-hoo! I wore it around the house yesterday – perfect for this time of year when I'm trying not to turn the heat on until the boiler gets its annual checkup, cleaning and service.

    I also started putting up the window film. My sister's dogs interior are arriving Wednesday for about a week, so I'll wait until they go home to cover their favorite windows.

    Re: Carpet Beetles: A Ravelry group was discussing how to get rid of carpet beetles in yarn stashes. A woman who works at a museum said if you have beetles feeding on yarn, clothing, or objects (as opposed to actual carpet), you can kill them by freezing the items for 7 days, thaw for three days, re-freeze again for at least 3 days (to kill any eggs than hatched after the initial freezing). They said the beetles are attracted to all kinds of animal fibers. Some people claimed cedar chips helped repel them, other said that didn't work.

    If they're in area rugs, you could freeze & thaw them this winter. If they're in wall-to-wall carpeting I hope you have hardwood flooring under the carpets.

    Darn! I meant to insert the word "interior" before "window film" not after "my sister's dogs." It's Monday.

    LOL! No worries, Paula. I figured out what you meant.

    We did freeze a lot of things. He has a ton of Amazonian feather masks and headdresses (ours is an interesting house) and those bugs go right for the feathers. We'd frozen them for months. The trouble is they're still in the house. Until we can rid the house of them, we can't take the masks out of plastic.

    Well, I vacuumed *gasp*, baked apples and kale chips, sorted under the breakfast bar (it's a useless height, so I have shelves and pantry stuff under it), pulled the dead Christmas lights off the banisters and replaced them (easier said than done- and it's so pretty, we leave them up year round, so they die fairly often), made a big batch of stew, and, sadly, not much else. I got a late start on Saturday and had a raging headache Sunday, so I feel as though I accomplished quite a lot.

    I worked on a client project. My niece and nephew came to visit and I spent time with them. Baked muffins. Weeded the garden.
