In an effort to get my knitting mojo back, I went through what I have for leftover yarn, and plotted some easy patterns to get rid of it. I also ordered yarn to go for a complicated project of the kind I enjoy making, but don’t often have an excuse to do, but that’ll be […]
Panel seven is done. Fairly well flying along now, since these last panels are skinnier than the others.
We got a bit of rain on Christmas – mostly overnight. We’d gotten about twenty inches of snow the week before, and while that had compacted a bit, it was definitely still around. Woke up Christmas morning, took a look out the window, and it was almost entirely gone, save for the worst of the

Lydia Crow is a member of one of the four magical families that rule London, except she has no real power, so has grown up outside of the family. She’s managed to get a pretty good life going up in Aberdeen as an investigator, but a small snafu on the job makes it necessary to

Their families often don’t understand them, so Eleanor West, herself a child that went through a door, has created a safe space for them. Their

They have compounds called Courtyards within each human city where they can interact with humans, but they are fully in charge of those interactions. Meg is a blood prophet, which means she’s been kept in isolation

Next panel is done. Since I seem to have lost my knitting mojo, this seems to be comparatively flying along.
This book was advertised as a couple of sell swords go into a haunted labyrinth with a lord, and adventure ensues. Which is technically true, but that’s really the very tip of the iceberg with this story. It’s a way more wide ranging adventure than I initially expected. I can’t say it’s treading any new

This is the maple tree in our front yard. I have a lovely view of it from my office window. The leaves on the ground have been mocking me since we moved in. They fell too late for the former owners to take care of, but until today, it’s either been wet or dark when
