The $700 Website

On 3 July, 2012 By Liz
Different people will read the line above in one of two ways. Web developers will wonder how the cost is so low … what is getting left out? They know designing a website takes hours of thought and work, and even the smallest sites cost $1,000 or more. No $700 website can be anything more [...]

Books on Social Skills

On 26 June, 2012 By Liz
I get so many ideas from my e-mail friends. This one’s too valuable to wait on. [This is a very stressful week for me, so I haven’t been thinking about blogging. Except for this.] One person asked for ideas on learning social skills. Another person replied with this list of books. I’m not familiar with [...]

Knitting eBook Project

On 19 June, 2012 By Liz
My Introducing Chain Mail eBook has been relatively successful, so I’m branching out, to begin a series of eBooks for knitters. My mother was an avid needleworker — not just knitting, but crochet, needlepoint, embroidery, tatting … if it used yarn/thread and she could do it sitting on the couch watching TV, she did it. [...]

“I’m Not Aspie, I Just Love Trains”

On 5 June, 2012 By Liz
Preteens, teens and young adults are interesting people. I have two in my household, an 11 1/2 year old who is just beginning to enter “the Snarky Years”, and his 16 1/2 year old sister, who is emerging from her teen defiance. Both appear quite NT. Part of becoming an adult is breaking away from [...]

On 26 May, 2012 By Liz
Because of the needs of a new web design client, I’m spending much of my spare time learning a lot about WordPress. For those of you who don’t know, WordPress is a code framework most commonly used for blogs. Though it’s easy to use WordPress to set up a simple blog, there’s a lot of [...]

On 25 May, 2012 By Liz
If you were an adult or near adult in the early 1980s, chances are you heard of the Dress for Success books by John T. Molloy.

I’m for Sale at Amazon.com

On 16 May, 2012 By Liz
Well, my book is. Several years ago, I learned the craft of making chain mail and started teaching at a local science fiction con. The classes were, and still are a huge success. This ebook is an expansion of the pamphlet and instruction sheets I created for the classes. The illustrations are quite good (I’m [...]

My daughter, Ket Waters (stage name) is a musician, playing Celtic fiddle. I have heard from others she is very talented (I’ve always thought so, but then, I’m her mom).
