Supper Club Scrapbook: March 2026

Welcome to this month’s Supper Club Scrapbook! In the Supper Club Discord, we share what we’re working on, what we’re excited about, and how we’re showing up for our neighbors. Every month, I’ll be sharing a little cross-section of what our community is up to. 

My March was pretty hectic. I was travelling for work the entire time. I got the flu; I found out what chilblains are (evil); I tested my mettle at high altitudes; I battled my way through deep snow. I hung out with magpies and ravens. I cooked feasts and delivered lectures. I met lots and lots and lots of you.

And, through these circumstances and a couple others I won’t go into, I was surrounded by and supported by friends. I often reflect, here and elsewhere, on how lucky I am. I had so much cause to do that this month. My friends carried me through the hardest of hard times; were patient with me when I was frazzled or grumpy; held me when I cried; made fun of me when I got too pathetic. They checked in on me and sent me jokes and listened to my feverish rambles. I don’t know what I’d do without them.

And now, the scrapbook!

I finished my boletus drawing in my arts and crafts group (after John Wilkes).

More traveling this month. Grabbed this shot of Rainer on the way to the airport. In Seattle we say, “The mountain is out” and it always makes me happy to know we have queer volcanos in the PNW.

Early March - I am laid up with the flu right now, trying to recover in time for a conference. But at least I am stuck someplace beautiful.

Also get a load of these weird giant mini quiches. Like what if an egg could be a sponge... but also a brain. Altitude does NOT play.

Week-long solo writing retreat:

✅  Elf-themed tiny cottage (!!!)
✅  18 inches of snowfall
✅  Not seeing or speaking to a single soul for five days
✅  Untold thousands of words revised
✅  Three books read
🚫  No wifi = no distractions
✅  Finding the PERFECT solution to a major-issue plot problem that I was explaining away as 'lol just because' I am GIDDY
✅  Fresh raspberries for breakfast every day because life is short so buy the expensive out-of-season fruit

My cup OVERFLOWETH with gratitude

It's at Charmed Resorts in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta, Canada! I go each year and pick a different fairytale-themed cottage, basically cut myself off from the outside world and go full hermit mode, if hermits wrote YA horror. I'm already planning next year ✨

I just got home from my first just-for-me vacation since, I think, 2009. I stayed in a caboose with a hot tub, climbed 224 stairs to the top of a waterfall, wandered around the Garden of the Gods park, had high tea in a castle museum, took a cog rail to the summit of Pike’s Peak, and drank mineral spring water out of the town’s fountains.

This is belated from feb, but I'm still quite proud of it—my first attempt at an ambigram! I have more nail experiments over on IG.

So far, January = three years, February = one week, and March has been some sort of BOGO special on months. I completely forgot I posted travel pics at the beginning of this month, and here I am ending it with another. (This time a return flight home.)
