Sunday ramblings

One of my biggest pet peeves is feeling like crap on days when it's so sunny and warm out. You just feel so lousy and don't feel like doing anything. Then you feel depressed because you can't go out and enjoy, what feels like, the only day of sunshine. I can't stand that.
So, I've been working on my perzine, and have contacted different photographers to see if I can use their photos, that I've seen on flickr and google searches. They've all said yes & I will try to send them a copy of the zine when it's finished. I think I will go with the title "Creepy Doll" because that's what I'm all about... well, one of my favorite things anyways!

I finished my scrappy quilt top. It is huge! When I laid it out, however, each side is a different measurement... it's not square, or rectangle, at all... We need to make some sort of a frame (with straping and clamps?) so that it can be stretched in the right places and pieces added in the right places. It's such a colorful quilt, full of my fabric scraps!

9th Annual Zine Fair in Halifax

I was curious if there were other zinesters in Nova Scotia, so I searched zines & Halifax. To my delight, I found a site advertising a Zine Fair in halihax, Ocober 20-24th, 2009!CHECK IT OUT HERE
Depending on the weather, I will try my hardest to be there!!! Anyone else?
Anyone been to one of these things & could offer some tips to a first-timer?
So I started to write some notes tonight for my first perzine. I ended up with 5, dairy sized pages full! I was wondering anyone's thoughts on whether they prefer perzines to be neatly handwritten (maybe making it more personnel?) or typed...
