Melancholy Baby

I was in the shower the other night and a thought popped into my head: it's been so good lately that it's probably time for some bad things to happen. Even though I know that bad times alternate with good times, I hoped that the feeling was wrong.

Nope. The bad things that have happened have, fortunately, been nothing terrible - the car needed to be repaired to the tune of $500 and I had a run-in with a particularly horrible patron this afternoon (didn't want to pay fines because it wasn't their fault - it totally was). The events of the day sort of color the view of the future, too. Now I'm worried about tomorrow. Every Thursday I go to the main branch downtown to work - this is how I get my full 40 hours/week. The problem is, downtown is having trouble with their a/c and when you get a library full of hot hobos, things get icky. It was icky last week and I had to call 911 on a patron for the second time in a month. I just don't want to face another 911 kind of day tomorrow. Bleh.

Oh well.


But I did finish another book. Yay!

I'm getting that Sally Fields-like kind of feeling and want to say: You like me? You really like me?

Who knew being a librarian was so wrought with strife?

all the hobos in my library are scared on my assistant because she knows their families, so I never get any 911 action. Hobo wrangling was always my favorite, sorry I'm not there to help out anymore. Make M. do it. That is called delegation of duties.

Love your new book design, Heather. I recommend not overthinking things too much, that's when we get into trouble. Not sure if you had a chance to see my blog post about your art, since it was at the height of your move, but you received some lovely feedback. That should cheer you up. :-)

How to Make Folded Books - by Heather Hajek Eddy

Hello friends - years ago I created a tutorial on how to make your own folded books and sold it in my (now defunct) Etsy shop. It was a blessing in my family's and my life for several years as it kept us afloat financially during some pretty lean years. At the end of 2016, I stopped selling on Etsy for several reasons, but mostly because selling things gave me HUGE anxiety. So, I closed up that part of my life & thought everyone was finding other cool ways to fold books online & wouldn't care about my little booklet. I have been pleasantly surprised to find many people are still interested and emails pop up in my box every so often asking if I'll ever sell it again. (Apparently, once you're on Etsy, you are FOREVER on Etsy and people can find you forever, too.) In the spirit of paying it forward to the world, I'm making the tutorial FREELY available here on my blog . Scroll below to see the tutorial in its entirety, all for free. Eventually I'l

This is one of my most popular tutorials because it has a huge payoff for such a little bit of work (well...). I think it's quite a showstopper! This was a free pattern I put on the blog a million years ago, but it's nice to have it here with the other pattern/tutorial.
