Last full week of vacation! I go back to work on Thursday.

Tuesday and Wednesday were writing days, then I sent the draft over to P for his additions. Thursday I did the laundry, drew illustrations, made a paper model of the weird salwar/sarawal pattern I’d found online, and followed up with a wee fabric prototype. There are only two seams and they’re both on the straight or cross grain but the geometry is complicated so I’m not certain I’ll stick with it. Friday I had therapy, scanned in all the drawings, and cleaned them up digitally. Saturday I finished cleanup, then adapted the layout and content based on P’s edits and added in the images. Sunday I made a cover and did print tests, although I might go with professional printing this year since it looks like our printer is again having problems with toner ghosts and skipping pages. Unfortunately it looks like “sixteen-page half-letter booklet” is not something anyone makes easy to specify, especially for black-and-white printing.
