Idea Vote

It's my favorite day of the year! Ha. Today I'd like to know which of the twelve ideas of Christmas you'd like me to write first in 2020. I plan to get to all of these ideas eventually, btw, so however the vote turns out your pick will likely make it to the page.

To review the choices one more time, here they are (and click on them if you want to read the original idea post for each one):

1. Falling, featuring Kyan and Melanie from Twilight Fall.

2. Chrysalis, the love story between Éliane Selvais and Richard Tremayne from the original Darkyn series.

3. The Inheritance, a haunted house story.

4. Castling, an epic fantasy novel based on chess.

5. The Moonrise paranormal romance trilogy featuring Ethan and Nathan Jemmet, Valori Trovatella and the residents of Frenchman's Pass from Frostfire.

6. Her Majesty's Deathmage, the third novel in the Disenchanted & Company steampunk AH series.

7. Executive Pleasures a non-traditional steamy menage/office romance.

8. Haunted House Style, the sequel to Ghost Writer.

9. Possession, a paranormal story about a reluctant exorcist.

10. Taken by Night, a near-future SF novel about shape-shifters.

11. The third Youngbloods YA vampire novel.

12. Black and White, a dystopian story.

Let me know your choice in comments. In the event there is no clear majority (after all, only five people know about this blog) I'll put all the suggestions in a hat and let my guy pick one.

Can I vote for two? The Inheritance or Haunted House Style. Sorry, I know I'm being wishy washy but I can't help it!

I'll have an email for you later today :) Right now, I'm taking care of the post apocalyptic Christmas meltdown mess.

I hope this goes through. Still no internet so I'm bumming off public WiFi.

It was a hard choice. I love the voice in Black and White, but I've a weakness for the metaphysical, so Posession is an equal contender.

Don't go by me though. I'm only going by what grabbed me the most.

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...
