Freezing Fingers and Good Tidings, Etc.

Today Indifferent Ignorance had a visitor from Guatemala, which is very cool. Speaking of cool, the weather today is awful. Should we still call rain ‘rain’ if it feels like a damp flannel is dripping down your neck.

To counteract the cold, I have a Christmas gift for you guys!

XMAS WISHEZ 2014

I first got the idea for customisable Christmas/Hanukkah/holiday cards in September or October, but publishing them took a while because the first set had terrible colours and I toyed with using a Photoshop border made of holly. I’m glad I stopped myself from including the holly… Ruby pointed out the colours were reminiscent of basic ye olde Interwebz.

Anyway, you can download the postcards yourself here. Actual postcards will be up within a few days! I’m running a discount between now and 31st January; 20% off if you plonk in SNOWFLAKE14 at the checkout.

Happy December y’all!

I’m getting quite in the mood for a celebration or two. Has anyone experienced any seasonal indifferent ignorance? I’m waiting to overhear something about ‘presents that are only for girls’ or ‘this is a Christian country and I want all the atheists to stop buying presents’. Hey, you never know.

Funny Story…

On Tuesday I woke up at eleven, which I never do, cooked breakfast, which I never do, and decided to chill out all day, which I never do. “I’ll write a leisurely blog and maybe go to the library,” I thought, “then catch up on some TV.” I did catch up on some TV, but I also got the worst headache I’ve ever had, so most of the day was spent trying to block out all external stimuli.

Anyway, I’ve gradually regained the ability to look at flickering screens and converse with other humans, so I thought I’d better do a blog and go through everything I meant to post last week, plus some other stuff.

  1. The blog is snowing as of today!!! Wooo it means it’s time to fix my one-eyed cat Christmas jumper and dig out a URL for Every Snowflake’s Different!
  2. I finished my Heroes of Olympus poster set, which I’m incredibly proud of. I made Annabeth’s two entire years ago after reading Mark of Athena, then got inspired by House of Hades to make a set for the Seven plus Nico, Thalia and Reyna. I’m glad I waited for the end of the series to make a lot of them, but I did feel like Sisyphus every time I tried to align a new set of text on Photoshop and come up with a snappy slogan for my favourite fictional snowflakes.
  3. I updated Etsy a lot! The Heroes set is now on there in its full glory as downloads and postcards; there’s a sale of some products whose listings end soon plus The Little Book of Indifferent Ignorance and I’ve ordered samples of new materials to test shinier products.

It’s was a nice week apart from the fact I didn’t go near a cup of coffee for nearly a week in case my skull shattered. Happy December!
