Genevieve is a fake spiritualist – a trade she learned from her mother. Unfortunately, she’s caught at her game, and because of some other history we’ll eventually be acquainted with, she’s sure to be headed to gallows. But then there’s a miraculous reprieve – the lawyer for a rich estate that has recently suffered a […]

This is the time of year where it doesn’t seem like much is going on – you can definitely tell where the winter shady bits of the yard are, by the lingering snowpack. But I actually do have a few things going on – I did my first round of planting last week. (In the
Sticking with my use up yarn theme, I’ve started on some mini Newfoundland mittens, specifically to use up the Lana Plantae Rambouillet Fingering Cochineal & Madder yarn. I have a fair amount of it, and it seems a shame to use it just on hexipuffs. I may have to come back and make this post

In case it’s not obvious from previous posts, I’m very much in a “it’s a new year and I need to finish up everything outstanding and use up all the yarn” mood. The above is everything from February I did that used up yarn, but didn’t make a completed project. Long term blanket projects for

Isaac and Bellatine Yaga haven’t seen each other in years, after Isaac left the family to go off on his own. They’re called together when they receive an inheritance – one they have to go pick up at a warehouse. It’s a house with chicken legs, and if you’ve noticed the last name, you know
