He put this nativity set together for the neighbor (who likes the solar Christmas lights still up on my mailbox from last year.) It came with a timer and I was watching when sundown triggered the lights. I thought she was barbecuing Baby Jesus & Co. It's ablaze with lights and has made her so happy.
I have been spending more time with my main characters. Building them into scenes that have to fit like a good jigsaw puzzle.
And let us not forget the spectral influencers, Sam and Hope.
And the other book, the Monkeytown Murders, is growing a plot like moss on a log.
There will be a lot more writing.
I have just about used up all the cottons - dyed and commercial prints- on a two-sided quilt. I'm guessing it's 60x56.
Now to find a place with a floor big enough to lay it out, batt & baste it. Hardwood or vinyl.
When we lived in New York I built a king-sized quilt on the floor of the gym after school hours. Thinking about that makes me tired.
Sometimes the backside is more interesting than the front. That tells me I should try painting again.
This is all machine pieced, of course. And I plan to free-motion quilt it with a special selection of text... in cursive. I might get it done by Christmas.
