More Crafts

So much of what I make is for people's birthdays, and most of what I make creatively I give away. One of the reasons I started this blog was to share my nerdy joy in making things for people I like with scissors and glue and a room full of fabric scraps and images, and to have images of things I've made. The latest:

Birthday Card for Martha, Front & Interior

Congrats to Martha for heading off towards medical school. It's exciting to see friends learn and grow and figure out what life looks like post outreach / harm reduction work.

Birthday Card for Timmee, Front & Interior

Thanks to Timmee & Billay & Hank for taking us all to Fremont for Indian food and Bollywood. Pure inspiration. Can't wait to see the next one with the tranny boy cricket player!

The challenge now is to create the structure that making a present for someone else provides to pursue other creative goals. I'm excited for my new long distance writing group with my seisi Laurie! We're going to nerd out on academic papers we're trying to write. Fun! Maybe someday you'll see here a paper on overdose prevention history in San Francisco and some lessons learned from six years of naloxone distribution at syringe exchange programs here. Who knows?
