Decided

Oliver's first smile for me. Okay, probably gas, but still -- a grandmother lives for this stuff.

National Novel Writing Month starts in less than three weeks. I had another go at trying to navigate the newly-revamped web site, but I can't even figure out how to check messages. Every time I click on what I think are my messages it goes to compose. I'm still buried in work, too, so no writing for fun in November for me.

In the unfinished archives I have four partial novels that I never finished writing, and a bunch more I planned to write but never started. I'm not getting any younger, so that's what I'd really like to start doing -- writing those stories. In particular the third steampunk book, and the third YA vampire book, both of which I never got a chance to write for publication, so those series remain unfinished. I won't self-publish, but I could put them out there as freebies.

Gas! hahaha....

I think it would be absolutely awesomely awesome if you would finish your stories :) You could write at your leisure, write them the way you want to and bring an ending to the series that you weren't able to before. So...has my vote! ;)

Thanks, Theo. I really hate leaving those series unfinished, although I'm not crazy about putting the books out there as freebies when so many plagiarists are copying and selling other writers' works on Amazon. Maybe if I do this I'll just send .pdfs of the books to my real friends and keep them offline altogether. :)

I don't know now if you can password protect an area on blogspot. If you can, you could always post them here and just send out the password one time rather than sending every time you had something.

I don't think I can't password pages with Blogger, but I'll look into it. More on this once I have more info. :)

Other Stashes

Along with clearing out the spare bedroom and tidying my office and our guest bedroom, I decided to reorganize some of my stashes. This is all the yarn I have on hand, sorted by color. It looks like a lot, but lately I've been using up a minimum of half a bin every month, so this is approximately a year's supply. All of my solid color cotton perle thread. I go through a lot of this every year, too. I need a container in which I can fit all of it together, but I haven't found the right one yet. I won't show you all of my fabric -- I'm still reorganizing this stash -- but I went through everything and donated two bins of fabric I won't need to the local quilter's guild.

Goodwill Gamble #2 Arrives

My second Goodwill gamble arrived; this is one I paid ten bucks for last month. Just inside the lid was a big roll of plastic mesh that I think is for latchhook work. In the auction listing it looked like fabric to me, so that was unexpected. Someone at the seller's end was nice enough to put a note on this pinned fabric. I'll put on my gloves before I take it out to inspect it. The embroidered green fabric turned out to be 1-1/2 yards of sequinned and three-dimensional designer fabric. I'll guess this cost somewhere between $20.00 to $30.00 a yard, and it's in pristine condition. But here's a shot of everything in the lot, which is mostly crafty odds and ends with a small amount of cotton fabrics, a large amount of synethetic fabrics, and some other surprises. The original owner of these was probably a Catholic school teacher; these beads, crosses and medallions are the kind of rosary kits for kids to make at Sunday school or Bible camp (and s...

Love Means This

Invested in a couple of hand-dyed bundles from one of my favorite fabric artists. This one said "Make me into something for Valentine's Day." So I went for a quilted and embellished tote. I kept thinking about what love means to me as I worked on it. Here's the finished tote. Although I was tempted to embellish with beads and pins, I got sick and only felt well enough to do a little stitching every night. As I worked I thought about how often love seems disappointing to us, especially when it fails to live up to our expectations. But now that I've experienced love in many forms, I can say that it's made me a better person than I might have been without it. Love is a precious thing, and should be appreciated in all its forms. I am very grateful for the love of my guy, my child and my friends who have stuck with me all these years. That's you two, in case you're wondering. :) Also finally found something to do with a ve...
