Desert Bus 2019 ran for a record 162 hours – from 8am PST on Friday November 8th, to 2am PST on Friday November 15th. And it was freaking awesome! It was a week of chaos, music, dancing, hilarity, tiredness, emotions, crafted gorgeousness, comedy, nerdiness, and just general madness. I tried to watch as much of … Continue reading “Another Desert Bus Success”

In approximately 4 hours, an internet-based fundraiser called Desert Bus for Hope begins its 10th year. I’ll let them explain it to you in detail, but the upshot is that for several days (the more money they raise, the longer they play) a bunch of volunteers play the world’s most boring computer game whilst simultaneously … Continue reading “Desert Bus”
I promised you all a haul post of my Christmas presents, and I think we’re overdue for a picture heavy post. So here we go. First off, it’s not technically an art or craft supply, but it’s adorable and very useful. Tom got me a unicorn lap desk. I show you the cushiony bit because … Continue reading “Christmas Haul”
Desert Bus For Hope 2018 ran for 160 hours and raised more than $730,000 for Child’s Play Charity. It was an epic run this year, with a lot of really enjoyable moments.
