I have a kids book project in development about hair art and Leila's collection was one of my inspirations. I am glad to hear ghe collection items will be preserved.

I'm going all out with this year's costume.

Hi! My latest blog looks at everyday uses of prototyping.

And enter by Oct. 31 for a copy of “This is a Prototype: The Curious Craft of Exploring New Ideas.”

Good for tackling your own life hacks or if you have a budding inventor kid in your life!

How does time pressure affect you feeling your creative best? This is something I’m trying to be very mindful about and influence when I can. Here’s a graphic I created and link to my latest blog post exploring the realities and offering suggestions.

To take my mind off all disturbing domestic and international events, I’m binging America’s Ugliest House episodes. It just somehow helps.

Sharing my latest post, including a short video, on my Substack! jjpseattle.substack.com/p/getting-cr...

Overheard postal staff repeatedly chastising a man for not using certified mail to send a social services application now lost in the mail.
1. Many people relying on basic public benefits struggle to spare even a few dollars.
2. Not his fault regular postage doesn’t = reliable service.

Sheesh.

Got a new blog post up, all about ways to get creative in tackling everyday sticky life problems. Perhaps I’m the ONLY one dealing with this regularly . . . but I doubt it! jenniferphillipsauthor.com/ways-to-get-...

Just bought Debbie some virtual tea. Thanks for all that you’re doing for us! Consider chipping in if you can.

Just got my copy in the mail! Thanks to @halligomez-author.bsky.social (also a contributor) for the heads up.

Best thing I heard this week happened while visiting our small neighborhood bookstore: a man came in and shared that it had been a tough week and he needed a new book now! Yes….

I read a picture book featuring a grumpy, vocal porcupine character last night in a @thewritingbarn.bsky.social event with agents and editors. Always a bit nerve-racking but great for getting feedback. I'm celebrating with a Teddy Bear the Porcupine fix. Enjoy! m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4wO...

Just getting started on Bluesky. Looking forward to making connections as I get settled in!
