What's The Time Mrs Woolf - Tumblr Posts
Remember you can ask Poppet anything at all, she loves to give out information as well as advice.
Hello followers! Pictured here is Poppet the House Hob. Poppet uses her fairy knowledge to answer questions in What’s the Time, Mrs Woolf? But this time Nobody has sent Poppet a question yet, and the deadline for the next issue is only 2 days away! (1st May)
Poppet will be very sad if nobody gives her a question to answer. If you have a question, a problem, or you need advice, please send your queries to Poppet at this address:
She’s learned how to use email specially so you can ask her things!
What's the Time, Mrs Woolf? is looking for submissions for the Autumn issue!
Hello hello Woolves!
It’s that time again! We’re now collecting submissions for the Autumn issue of What’s the Time, Mrs Woolf.
There’s no official theme, but if you’d like a starting point we have some that might help. As we’re now into the two darker seasons, it’s a good time to submit...
Yusss! It's time again to make a new zine! If you feel like submitting something to our Winter issue, please do!
Call for Submissions - Winter issue
Hello hello Woolves! The Autumn 2013 issue has launched at our Autumn events and is now available online, so it’s time to get cracking on our first Winter issue!
There’s a short deadline on this one as we’re hoping to go to another event in December, so it needs to be ready in time. Please get your submissions in as quickly as possible!
As usual we’re looking for articles, comics, illustrations, recipes, poetry and creative writing, puzzles, how-tos, questions for Poppet, anything you’d like to see when you pick up a zine! As this is the Winter issue, it’s a good time to submit anything wintery, festive, or otherwise in keeping with the season. At this time of year we especially encourage warming Winter recipes!
The format is A5, black and white, 300dpi jpeg files. Please remember this zine is lady-types only, so we will only be accepting submissions from women, girls or other lady-types.
Please send your submissions to whatsthetimemrswoolf (at) gmail (dot) com by the 28th of November.
We’re looking forward to seeing them!
Aw yeah Winter zine! If you want a Winter zine before Christmas, please do order it soon! I'll be going home for Christmas on the 19th, so I need to post everything before that date.
Haha my advent calendar sneaking in there.
Hello Woolves! Our chilly Winter issue is all stapled up and available in our online shop! Our cut-off for orders before Christmas is the 18th of December, so please order quickly if you’d like one before January. (For UK buyers, anything ordered before or on the 18th should also arrive before Christmas.)
Highlights this issue include new contributors, a four-page Lesbian Heroes special, warming Winter recipes and an article by Nel McDonald, whose writing was recently featured on xojane!
Full contents of this chilly issue include:
An exciting cover by Scotland-based artist, Kirsten Bradley Henderson! With overlay by our own Lilywoolf.
Another lovely door picture by regular artist Gem Sheldrake.
Lesbian Heroes has a four-page special for honourable mention Constance Spry, the controversial mother of modern floristry.
Felix the Cat and Friends, a new comic from Meg Guindon.
Sewing Sans Pattern shows you how to make a hedgehog pincushion. A little cliché, but fun and easy to make.
Another festive illustration by regular contributor Clem Tarrant.
Linsensuppe mit Einlage, or lentil soup with frankfurters. A warming Winter soup recipe courtesy of Sarahwoolf’s dad.
Man Logic, a cute and funny comic by new contributor April Nash!
Shunning Sweet-Tooth Shame, a short article by Nel McDonald on the infuriating trend of calling all cakes and sweets ‘naughty’, ‘indulgent’ and ‘sinful’.
The return of Things Sarah Sees, this time on the pavement.
Sammy Borras provides another fantastic Stale Symphony comic!
Poppet the House Hob receives a question about baking for dietary restrictions, and responds with a recipe for gluten-free, vegan flapjacks. Maximum sharing potential!
Last but never least, another festive door picture from Deborah Clerkin.

Many thanks to all our lovely contributors, we hope you’ll enjoy all their hard work!
Hey hey, that zine that I make with my pals is looking for submissions again! You have the month of February in which to make something!

Call for Submissions - Spring 2014
It’s that time again, Woolves! We’re getting ready to put out our first zine of 2014, we hope lots of you will contribute! The deadline for the Spring issue is 28th February.
As usual we’re looking for articles, reviews, comics, illustrations, recipes, poetry and creative writing, puzzles, how-tos, questions for Poppet, anything you’d like to see when you pick up a zine!

Please send your submissions to whatsthetimemrswoolf (at) gmail (dot) com by the 28th of February.

Special thanks to our own Lilywoolf, for doing the cover, intro, contents, credits and other extra admin stuff for this issue, allowing myself a much-needed break for some freelance jobs. Keep an eye on the woolfblog, for in thanks I will be recording myself reading her excellent pirate-voiced intro aloud and posting it here on the blog.

We will consider ghostly articles, comics, short stories, poetry, illustrations, recipes, instructions and how-tos, fact sheets, puzzles and anything else. If you’d like to read it when you pick up a zine, we’d like to see it! (Even if it’s not strictly ghost-themed.)

As usual our resident fairy, Poppet the House Hob, is also ready to answer questions and give advice and information to hapless humans. Questions for Poppet are always welcome!

Please note: due to life events Lilywoolf and I have decided there will be no Winter zine this year. If you are thinking of submitting we encourage you to submit to this Autumn issue! While we do accept submissions at any time, the next zine after this one won’t be printed until Spring next year.
Photos from London MCM! I am hiding behind a comic by Tom Siddell.
This year’s event had some changes that caused a lot of arguments online, so I’m still dithering about whether I should say anything about how I thought it went. Does anyone have a backbone I can borrow?
A big thank you to everyone who bought stuff at London MCM Comic Con! Sarah and I had fun behind the table chatting to people who came by and inventing our own gang name and secret hand shake.
We are hoping to exhibit at the event again in October - but no promises since there’s a lot of competition for table space!
My next event without Sarah will be Manchester MCM Comic Con, you’ll be able to find me in the Comic Village - for a detailed and up to date list of events see the sidebar of my portfolio blog.
If you can’t get to these events we also have Etsy shops:

Thanks again!
