Discontinuing Newsletter

Posted by frykitty on August 11, 2015

So I noticed…

…that for the past two weeks, the newsletter says it’s being sent, but I haven’t received anything. This is the second time a newsletter program has failed me. It’s disappointing. Even though I only have a few subscribers, I really enjoyed how MailPoet worked, and I think it produced a lovely email.

Unfortunately, this is too much stress for too little payoff, so I am discontinuing the newsletter.

There are two best ways to keep up with me, if you don’t use an RSS reader.

1. On Facebook, Like the Spooky Moon page, and on the Like drop-down, choose Get Notifications. You will get one update per day with the latest post, and occasionally a few extras that are exclusive to Facebook.

2. On Twitter, you have two options:

Follow Spooky Moon, and you will get only new posts. It is automated, and I’m never on that account, so don’t reply to anything.  Oops! That isn’t really updating. Sorry!

Follow me, Cat Winterfox (frykitty). You will get Spooky Moon updates, as well as new post notifications on my other sites, frytopia, The Daily Worm, and fogbound. I don’t use Twitter much, but I do check my notifications.

Sorry to abandon what I felt was a neat feature, but if it’s not going to work, it gets kicked to the curb.

 

Halloween Season Begins

It is exactly three months until The Big Day. I have been in the mood to make spooky stuff for several weeks already, but made my first official project of The Season today.

I have been obsessed with fabric lately, wanting to make art quilts and pillows and things. Problem is, I’m not a great tailor. In fact, I’m a pretty terrible one. I stick with either very simple things, or artsy things where my ineptitude is a feature.

So here is a lovely Halloween pillow. Mistakes were made. I neglected to look up how to prevent lumps before I sewed it shut. And that sewing shut looks a bit like a drunken surgeon performed an appendectomy. Still, I think it’s pretty, and it’s a good size to test shams on. Because shams cannot be lumpen, and need not be sewed shut by hand.

Happy beginning of Halloween, everyone!
