This morning Greg Bailey Topeka Fire Chief visited the library. He read stories to the kids and he asked us all some questions. To the parents, have you ever been in a fire drill at work?… lots of hands went up. To the kids, have you ever been in a fire drill at school?…Lots of hands went up. To all he asked have you ever had a fire drill at home 2 hands went up.

Greg said after all the years he’s been doing this the numbers haven’t changed much.

Have you had a fire drill at home? If not, why not? Here is a link to the National Fire Protection Assoc.  They have steps to help you put together a plan and here is what they say:

Your ability to get out depends on advance warning from smoke alarms and advance planning.   In 2011, there were an estimated 370,000 reported home structure fires and 2,520 associated civilian deaths in the United States.

Fire can spread rapidly through your home, leaving you as little as two minutes to escape safely once the alarm sounds. Pull together everyone in your household and make a plan. Walk through your home and inspect all possible exits and escape routes.  Households with children should consider drawing a floor plan of your home, marking two ways out of each room, including windows and doors. Also, mark the location of each smoke alarm.

Here is a fun worksheet to do together as a family from Sparky the fire dog – Escape Plan Worksheet

Mia is easily distracted and by the times she’s finished trying on clothes, shoes, and playing with her baby sister, she gets so tired that she falls asleep in her rocking chair.

Book signing will follow

Sunday, June 9, 2:30-3:30 – Marvin Auditorium 101AB, Margaret Kramar local author and one of the contributing authors will be here with the editor Melissa Miles McCarter to read from this anthology.

Joy can be interrupted – but not lost. Most people think of motherhood as a joyous experience, but for some it can be an experience of interrupted joy. This anthology delves into the subject of motherhood and loss from different perspectives of authors and artists from all over the world.

The book is uniquely structured around the five stages of grief, mirroring the grief journey many go through. Editor and publisher Melissa Miles McCarter conceived of the anthology six years after her daughter died of SIDS and then struggling with secondary infertility after an ectopic pregnancy. The anthology focuses on mothers and their children who face loss in all forms, losses which can “interrupt the narratives of our lives.”

Some of these universal themes addressed include: coping with the death of a child; relationships between mother and child (including adoption and estrangement): caring for disabled children: and having to mother one’s own mother because of an illness.

This anthology includes Short Stories, Poetry, Art Work, Essays, Fiction, Creative Non-Fiction and more. Contributors explore such topics as Adoption, Death, Infertility, Disabilities, Illness, and Estrangement. Various themes addressed include Coming of Age, Identity, Recovery, Connections, and Forgiveness.

The internationally acclaimed contributors are: Merrill Edlund , Aliki Economides, Monika Pant, Grace Benedict, Chris Reid, Paul Salvette, Terri Elders , Liz Dolan , Mark Moore, Emily Polk, Lottie Corley, Sandra Kolankiewicz, Megan Moore, Valerie Murrenus Pilmaier, Anna Steen, Nina Bennett, Kim Hensley Owens , Joanne L.

You’ve heard the expression one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. My new version of that saying is one woman’s junk is another woman’s fashion accessory. I do not collect rare buttons and I do not make fine art jewelry. But I do like to make fun funky artsy jewelry from things I find in my “junk” box. I often invade my mom’s and my sister’s stashes also. Some of the great antique shops will often have a drawer or grab bag of treasures that end up on my jewelry also.

I’ve enjoyed sorting and deciding on just the right piece to create a unique brooch or pendant. I’m also a gourd artist and discovered several years ago that gourd shards (the pieces left over when I cut up a gourd) can make great bases to a piece of jewelry. Adding an interesting button as the main focus of the piece creates a very beautiful artisan fashion accessory.

Here are a few examples of what I’ve created.

 

 

 

 

 

If you are a true collector of buttons and find it appalling to cut off the shanks and glue them to things like I do then the library has a wonderful collection of books for you. Do you collect buttons?

Here is one example and you will find several in the new area called the Collectibles Neighborhood. Look for the colorful headers above the books and follow the easy to follow signs. If you are a Dewey decimal buff look for the 641.19s.

 

 

 

 

 

If you just have a stash of fun junk type buttons like me then you will want to visit the Arts and Crafts Neighborhood. My favorite Dewey – 745! There you will find many books on all kinds of crafts and many on making jewelry like the one below. Have you ever made jewelry from buttons? Send me some pictures if you have and I’ll post them.

 

 

 

 

 

Next spring March 19 and April 16 find me again when I give a couple programs called Junk Drawer Jewelry. They won’t be about button jewelry but something just as fun so check them out to see what we’ll be making and come create with us.

Join award winning author Linda Rodriguez for a talk about her new book.

“Fans of Nevada Barr and Sara Paretsky will relish Linda Rodriguez’s stellar debut. Her sleuth, Skeet Bannion, is a keeper. Every Last Secret is a triple crown winner; superb writing, hell for leather plotting and terrific characters.” – Julia Spencer-Fleming, New York Times bestselling author of One Was a Soldier

 “Rodriguez writes clearly and forcefully. … Fans of tough female detectives like V.I. Warshawski and Kinsey Millhone will be pleased.” – Publishers Weekly

  “Every Last Secret offers that rare and startling thing in the universe of thrillers: a truly fresh voice. Rodriguez’s tale spares nothing. Skeet is an all-too-human heroine, and we just want more, more, more.”–Jacquelyn Mitchard, #1 national bestselling author of The Deep End of the Ocean and Second Nature: A Love Story

 “Linda Rodriguez has created a captivating female detective with a mind for justice and a heart for those who’ve been unfairly treated.  Skeet navigates university politics and a nest of deadly secrets to find the truth, even when it means investigating people she cares about.”–Carolyn Haines, author of Bones of a Feather

 “There’s a new cop in town and she has smarts, courage, and a good heart. Mystery readers will find a new favorite in Chief Skeet Bannion.”  –Nancy Pickard, author of The Scent of Rain and Lightning

 “Murder on a college campus, plenty of bad people, and all kinds of puzzles to solve.  Linda Rodriguez has written a highly enjoyable procedural introducing a rough and tender heroine, Skeet Bannion.”–Kathleen George, author of The Odds and Hideout

 “Rodriguez’s debut is an action-packed ride featuring an intriguing heroine you won’t quickly forget.”—Sally Goldenbaum, bestselling author of The Wedding Shawl

 Selected Reviews for Every Last Secret

“Linda Rodriguez delivers a lively look at a woman rebuilding her life in ‘Every Last Secret.’…Rodriguez’s energetic storytelling and attention to character prove she is an author who should have a bright future. Skeet is in touch with her Cherokee heritage. Her determination to make a fresh start will resonate with anyone who has started a new job or moved to a new town.”—Oline H. Cogdill, South Florida Sun-Sentinel

“Rodriguez writes clearly and forcefully….Fans of tough female detectives like V.I. Warshawski and Kinsey Millhone will be pleased.”–Publishers Weekly

“Skeet’s debut introduces a strong, intelligent woman detective with both a knack for solving crimes and a difficult personal life. The next episode can’t come too soon.”–Kirkus Reviews

“With a strong heroine struggling to find balance in her work and personal life, this intriguing debut shows great promise….Good read-alikes might be Lori Armstrong and Sara Paretsky for formidable heroines with baggage.”–Library Journal

Every Last Secret would appear to follow any one of several tried and true conventions—a village mystery, a police procedural, a cozy replete with Skeet’s knitting and pets, or an ethnic mystery playing off its determined heroine’s half-Cherokee ancestry—but with solid writing and honest insights into human complexity, Rodriguez manages to employ all these familiar tropes with considerable élan.”–Mystery Scene Magazine
