Madame Askew and The Grand Arbiter

Originally posted to our Patreon

Starting tomorrow with our Friday Virtual Tea Party, we have 5 days of cosy events! I promise I didn’t consider any of this in advance or even look at my calendar once. I simply followed the impulses of the muses and discovered that we needed to pack the middle of January full of whimsical nonsense.

Begin the weekend with cheeky conversation, a lively CommuniTea, and scads of tea-nanigans during our Friday Tea at 6:30 PM Pacific/9:30 PM Eastern live on YouTube and Twitch (and Facebook for the nonce)

Cheeky Strumpets and beyond, please be certain to vote in this week’s “super secret” Patrons’ Corner poll and then join us Friday night to discover just what the Grand Arbiter and I are nattering on about!

Continue the chatty adventures with my Saturday morning Sip the Tea interview featuring special guest and dear friend, Catherine Lundoff from Queen of Swords Press. Saturday Morning tea starts at 10 AM Pacific/1PM Eastern on YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook. Be sure to bring questions for Catherine and a good cuppa for yourself!

Follow up from interviews and book discussions in the afternoon on Discord! Saturdays, when possible, I am gathering together with dear chums in Madame Askew’s Tea Lounge on our Steampunk CommuniTea Discord for a crafting and co-work hang out. I’ll be there around 2 PM Pacific/5PM Eastern



More bookish adventures with our Temporal Textual Talks virtual book club on Sunday at 4:30 PM Pacific/7:30 PM Eastern. I highly encourage you to join us in our virtual tea parlour on zoom for the best experience but follow along with us on YouTube if you aren’t able to join us in zoom. Book club meetings are now only available as live streams to YouTube where they are archived for later viewing.

Monday, I am hosting a little Blanket Fort Party in the afternoon as a reprieve from the news and current events. These are our irregularly occurring, cosy hangouts for moments when we need a little extra community connection and comfort. Join us in our virtual tea parlour on Zoom at 2 PM Pacific/5 PM Eastern for a few hours of distraction. Bring crafts, cats, and chocolate or whatever comfort items you prefer. Caftans heavily encouraged! (The zoom link will be posted here and on Discord)

I’ve been experimenting with a new Tuesday night virtual sewing adventure on Twitch for the last few weeks, and I am pleased to introduce the newly minted Tuesday Night Twitch and Stitch. Currently these have no agenda except that I am sewing like a fiend and very happy to answer any and all sewing questions. I’ll also absolutely discuss my current project and various techniques that I’m using. These are more informal than Teatorial Tuesdays as there are no set projects, but embrace that very lively conversation that we used to share during Teatorials.

Naturally, not all weekends are as packed full of treats nor do we regularly flow into the first half of the following week on a regular basis, but this weekend just happens to be especially marvelous!

Cheers!
