My Swedish ivy is loving being back outside. I need to get some small pots to start a squad of offspring for gift giving.
On sale at the grocery store. I'll be having a smallish house guest from time to time. We are going to cook something. These will bring some fun.
My mood this morning. Keeping the blank slate at the ready, coffee light and sweet while I get drunk on the scent of the gardenias.
I have to work this weekend including the holiday. Not a suffering as I had no plans.

my dark materials
There's still a small clutch of dirty threads available. If you want to get crazy and split up the foursomes in some way that suits you, email me and we'll work something out.
I'm at least ten days away from the next round, despite perfect dyeing weather. At that time, I'm going to be taking some requests!

what spring?
Nothing like a summer cold in Georgia. You just think that being outside in the air and sun would be a good thing until you try it.
Charlie's school had a little year-end celebration yesterday and this morning, it was clarified that today, not tomorrow, is the last day of school. All of these days together have made life so sweet.

Hectic week
Not that the week itself was so hectic for me. Just different. Colin sent this today. Wonderful start to the morning. The rest of the day ate itself in chunks of errands and nonsense.
By the time I had to sit down to the day job, this was happening out under the hot sun. I'll be going downstairs to rinse them out in a little while. See if my experiment ran the way I intended.
Yesterday was given over to socializing - yes, actual face to face conversation with an adult peer. Remember that? We brought stitching but not much got done for the yakking. It's nearly finished anyway. The Ace of Cups.
But the crown of my week was this: Charlie busting out of Pre-K!

something different
Never fool with technology when you are bored and not paying full attention. Still, this is not a bad layout and it's supposed to be mobile friendly.
Started the day early with a little stitch and music while I mused on the nature of Evil. I know, weird, but this is what writers do.
Then I went downstairs to take care of the kitchen and was seized by the spirits of the next book. Got a big chunk of that out of the way.
Then we got to renew the thrill of hearing vinyl on a turntable. The Flaming Lips have a 45 of Bowie's "Space Oddity". Great stuff!

TGIF - updated
Nothing terribly significant going on, just my over-reaction to the ordinary.
I think I may have found a solution to sending threads internationally. Time will tell.
This is just part of the process.
TODAY, 5/11 at 8pm est is the last chance to bid on Revisions. Right now at a mere 310$ (last time I checked)
Pounce on it here

Revisions getting ready to fly
Revisions 44x29 2019 |
If you are interested in owning this piece, please go to the Writer Unboxed website and bid on it.
I finished it just about the same time that I finished (ha!) writing Prophets Tango so I decided I wanted to do something to give back to the organization that has been so instrumental in my progress as a writer.
You don't have to be a member to bid. Your money will go towards one of this year's scholarship packages.
If you get lucky and bold, you'll be able to say that you own a piece of art done by a famous novelist back when she was still stitching her life together with pieces of thread and cloth.
Remember this? I'll never forget the feeling.
If you have any questions about the work or the bidding please email me.

leaps and bounds
You really don't forget how to ride a bicycle or hand code HTML. For the first time since 2012, I think, I've renovated my
main website.
It was a lot less painful than I thought it would be.
The reason for this dive off a cyber cliff is exciting, but I'll keep it under my hat for another 12 hours.
The site is necessarily spare for the moment and will be fluxing like crazy in the coming weeks and months.
Some eye candy for today. It was nice to sit outside in the sun for a few hours but I have to rethink that plastic Adirondack chairs. Not great for stitching.

a napping house
I could digitally remove all the crud from the carpet, but as I'm too lazy to vacuum.....
This is a section of cotton bed ruffle that I've (insanely) decided to pick all the seams out of. Really good, French seams. I do a few inches and have to set it aside.
Sweetie thinks it's all for her entertainment.
The weather has swung between noisy thunderstorms and steamy sun blazing about four times today. Napping seems the best way to deal with it.
Midday, there was mayhem right outside the front door. Colin captured this. The hawk was undeterred and returned to his good hunting place within the hour. I sincerely hope that is one of the rats that has been plaguing my kitchen and I'm very glad I did not resort to poison.
