Randomly decided to listen to Ron Sexsmith's major label debut from 1995, knew basically nothing about him, but I've really enjoyed him. A mellow, introspective folk with little flashes of rock here and there. I would listen to more.

An update to that #Cricut experiment: I decided to stress-test it a little bit and see how it would handle a complicated image trace! I brought a photo of the reverse side of my Centennial mug into #Inkscape and traced the image, then back into Design Studio, cut in the same white vinyl, and applied. To pull back the curtain a bit, I actually cut it at the same time as the front design - but I quickly discovered that I'd need a proper weeding tool to do this justice. My sizing is all over the show here, but I'm not upset about it. I'm slightly more upset that I wasn't paying that much attention while weeding (I was watching The Diplomat with my wife at the time) and weeded out part of the actual design. Whoops! Still looks awesome and if I spent more time (and attention) it would have turned out even better. I'm really enjoying learning this stuff.

Latest #Cricut experiment: a version of my Canadian Centennial mug that I don't feel anxious about using. I love Centennial memorabilia, but 60 years old is a little old for an everyday-use cup. This is very much a project done to learn, not as a polished final product, and boy did I learn. I recreated the graphic in #Inkscape and made a couple of editorial choices, like increasing the line weight. The ring of text pushed the machine's ability to cut small details in some spots, and it underscored the need for good weeding tools and good weeding practices (for example, putting the vinyl on transfer tape first before weeding so the design actually stays in place). The cut needed either more pressure or another pass. And I don't think I trust this "smart vinyl" to cut properly when not on a cutting mat. I definitely had to reconstruct some words! But you know what? This is great for an everyday mug and I learned a ton.

How did Canadian housewives become “housesoldiers”? And can food actually win wars? Read on!

We suggest you start with Jennifer Brady’s review of Ian Mosby’s first book, Food Will Win The War: The Politics, Culture and Science of Food (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v1i2.46). Then, pair it with The Dorothy Perkins Canadian Garden Book.

https://www.ubcpress.ca/food-will-win-the-war
https://archive.org/details/McGillLibrary-109291-36/

More questions ensue: How does one stake up one’s tomatoes? What are the benefits of a cold frame? And is Dorothy Perkins the author’s real name?

Perkins teaches us how to be productionists in our own back garden on the heels of the first world war, while Mosby explores the whys and wherefores of household production in the second world war.
