Comedic relief

Amidst all of this crafting and market madness, I found myself in need of a break. What better way to forget about stress than to spend some time with the Sedaris family. Normally I would turn to one of my many Sedaris books or podcasts to ease my mind, but not this time! It just so happened that Amy Sedaris came to Portland to promote her new book, Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People. Last night, at the Bagdad Amy did a short crafting demonstration, Q & A and then signed everyone's books! She was a delight, and the evening was exactly what I needed. Check out her book if you need any holiday gift or decorating ideas!
