Madame Askew and The Grand Arbiter

The Grand Arbiter and I are back with another week of tea and tomfoolery! This is the last week of Pride so we certainly plan to be as thoroughly unhinged as possible, despite the blistering weather here in the Sonoran Desert.

Tonight, I hope to get into a little hand stitching and hat decorating escapades during the weekly Twitch and Stitch at 5 PM Pacific (Seattle) — 8 PM Eastern , live on (Montreal) on YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook. Last week I experienced a most vexing technical difficulty. I hope that we will have a better experience this week. Fingers crossed! And my thank you to everyone who helps me with my trouble shooting adventures.

Friday, of course, the Grand Arbiter and I are bringing you a little teatime cheekiness to wrap our Pride month. There will be a super secret topic so do watch for that Patrons’ Corner Poll! Live at our regular time 6:30 PM Pacific — 9:30 PM Eastern in our usual spots.

Saturday, I’m hosting our final piping hot Crafternoon in the Steampunk CommuniTea discord at 2 PM Pacific — 5 PM Eastern. We chit chat and craft away in Madame’s Tea Lounge voice chat. Bring your projects, your brain storming, you crafting questions, or simply your desire for a little afternoon companionship.

Sunday morning, I’m hosting our monthly Patreon Sewing Social at 11 AM Pacific — 2 PM Eastern on Zoom. Yes, I’ll be stitching away but I also want to chit chat with you all about the autumn workshop and sundry treats for Patreon. (Watch for a longer post with the zoom link)

Sundays tend to get busy in our corner of Steampunklandia and that’s no different this week! In the afternoon, I join my dear friend and co-host Bill Bodden for our monthly Steampunk Book Chat at 4:30 PM Pacific — 7:30 PM Eastern. This month we’re discussing the excellent continuation of the Karen Memory Series, Angel Maker by Elizabeth Bear. Elizabeth is joining us so do bring your questions for our author guest!

Cheers!
