A little more progress

-
I've made some more progress on In the Garden. I've completed one of the 'magic wisps' that are floating around.

I also completed a few more scarves, including this one. It's really soft. I also have a fuzzy red one.

Why do I come home to find my cat sleeping on my pillows? I'm jealous. Silly kitty.



While fleshing out my story for NaNoWriMo, I've come across a problem. One of my characters, seems to be lacking a motive. He's seems to be a plot device despite the fact that I plan to write some scenes from his POV. I need to somehow figure out a sub plot and a motive of his. Protecting his sister is kind of weak. I have a little over a week to figure this out.

In the meantime I have a competition on Nov. 4 to prepare for. My rhinestones for my rose dress came on Friday. I have 5 different colors in 3 different sizes. I'll work on it a little during the coming week.

    Excellent progress on Garden, and I love that scarf, I haven't attempted anything with that type of yarn as yet. It seems to knit up fast for you. :)

    On the book, would it work to have this character turn nasty? Is his twin sister older by seconds so now he'll lose his fortune to her? Maybe doesn't work since it's medieval times when women didn't count for much. Or if she marries her husband will get the fortune? So this character tries to keep them apart while seeming to help the relationship? something like that?

      Thanks. It's fairly easy to work with once you know how. Although the one I'm working on now somehow has gotten itself twisted through itself which requires me to pull the scarf through a mesh hole to correct it. First one I've come across like that though.

      As for my character, I have him more as an observer who knows more than he lets on. His relationship with his mother has been rocky due to this. Inheritance falls to him if his parents die. I'm pretty sure the sister won't be getting a penny from the family anyway. I recently thought of possibly adding a younger sibling into the mix.

    Interesting idea about the characters, I was also wondering if he could have made a oath to a dying parents, but I like the thought of him as an observer with extra knowledge.

    Thanks for the info about the scarves too. I tried one with Ruffleina (I think) and it came out okay.

A bit of ADD

I seem to be a bit all over the place this week. Let me walk you through it. Sunday, I have declared this day to be for 'insanity'. I shall try and keep this up. So Monday, I picked up a new cross-stitch, Mystical Wizard. More on that later but here are the colors. Wednesday, I decided to work on one of my sewing projects. A 17.5" stuffed Christmas tree. I was going to make the 12" one but I had enough fabric if I ignored the included cutting diagram and got away with 1/8" less. But come Thursday, I was tired of my cross stitch. There's only so much I could take of stitching blue on blue, and mainly two colors of blue. Of course the upper left is the least interesting part color-wise of this piece. So I switched to The Accolade. I'll include the last photo I took of it (with my old phone) because I didn't get that many rows finished. But not bad for only two days.   And as today is Sunday, I worked on Insanity again. And...

DWTS season 19: week 7

Tommy. It was muddy and he seemed to forget some of it. As usual. I notice they didn't mention the break in hold during the dance. Too high. Lea. It felt careful. It could've used more power, controlled power. It felt like she was walking through it. Not worth 9s. Bethany. I liked it and her dress. I think she missed a step during a side by side but got caught up. There were moments she could've filled instead of just pausing. I don't know if it was 10s definitely 9s. Antonio. Not a lot of actual Viennese Waltz. He didn't do much. I agree with the scores. Michael. Just, no. 5s are generous. Janel. A tad slow for a Viennese Waltz. But it was interesting. A little low. Alfonso. She danced around him a lot. I didn't see too much hip action. Technique needs work. I'll give him the scores based on performance. Sadie. The character didn't work with the dance. She was too loose. I'll give them the scores. Team dances Its...
