Another crafting idea: wooden buttons. Also, I would like to carve my own crochet hooks. (A bit simpler than spoons!)Labels: crafting

My very first mittens:
Now, granted, they do have some issues. one is slightly smaller than the other--the second one, of course. This can be remedied, because the difference is slight. And I'm not really happy with the colors, but these were for practice anyway.
 All in all, they turned out well, I think. My next project will be socks!!Labels: crocheting, mittens

Considering:
How hard would it be to crochet boots? Like these, only not pink. I think the most difficult part would be finding soles for them, and that might not be so hard, really. Hmmm.

I decided to try my hand at a pair of wristwarmers today and this is what I came up with:
I'm over halfway done with the other hand, and also running out of yarn, so I hope I have enough to finish it. I did end up ordering more anyway, because I really like the way this yarn is working up. It's very pretty and warm!
Edit @ 8:41pm: I'm done! I had about 30 inches of yarn left over. Wow.Labels: crocheting

Deadfall is now, officially, a novel. 40,253 words at the moment, and I won't be writing any more until this evening. I'm happy with saying that I've written 40,253 words in 15 days, but I'm more than ready to write at a steady pace from now on. I am on Part 24, after all, and that means I'm way ahead of the daily posting (Part 16 went up this morning) so if I get stuck, I have a bit of a cushion.
So, my goal for today is what I didn't get done on Friday. Onward!Labels: alesander, deadfall, novel

Well, the St. George Craft Show was today, and it dawned sunny and about 15 degrees colder than the last two weekends! And in all honesty, I had an above average day, so YAY! I am happy. This vindicates my weather theory.
No more craft shows until December 5th, and then that's it until next year*.
In other news, I am almost out of toothpaste and almost out of wellness tea, so it's time for a stock-up Amazon order, because well, toothpaste is more reasonably priced in bulk (at least the kind I buy is) and I can't live without my wellness tea, especially this winter!
I did not get much written at all at the craft show, which I rather expected anyway, so that didn't matter. I made up for it yesterday. I'll still write a bit tonight, more than likely.
*thank goodness!

The St. George craft show in Georgetown, OH is today from 9am-4pm. I will be there all day! If you are local, stop by and say hello! I still have plenty of chocolate. :)
I am bringing my computer, because I woke up with dialogue in my head this morning for the next scene. And Part 15 is up! If you haven't read any of Deadfall yet, you can get to the whole thing here. (Just scroll down until you reach Part 1.)

37,042 for the night.
Oh my.
Yes, I think I'll reach 40k by Sunday night.Labels: alesander, deadfall, storydreams

My goal was to sit here until noon, but I was so close to 33k that I had to stay for a little while. Ending for the morning (it's still morning until I get up!) at 33,048 words.
If I make it to 35k today, I'll be really pleased. That might yet happen; I still have this evening to write after I set up my table for the craft show. Right now, though, I'm going to go start the bread baking, laundry, and pack up the ebay package I have to take to the PO. Among other things.

Okay, I am off work today because of the craft show tomorrow. Here's what I have to do:
--mail ebay package
--write Deadfall (and I'm up to 34,196 at the moment, yikes!)
--laundry!
--bake bread for craft show bake sale (probably only four loaves)
--do dishes, clean up in kitchen
--plant ornamental grass in front of the big garden
--pack car
--set up table
I'm sitting here and writing until noon, and then I'm going to start the bread, head to the PO, start the laundry, etc. Setting up will be this evening, and then more writing, I'm sure, because I do really want to get to 40k by Sunday evening.Labels: things to do

And yes, of course I reached 30k.
30,388--to be exact. Will I reach 40k by Sunday night? Well, I'd say I have a good chance, especially if what happens does end up happening here soon.Labels: deadfall

I have a lot to write about, but not here, evidently. I've been completely consumed by Deadfall, which is up to Part 12 and 28,034 words as of last night. I'm aiming for 30k today, and then--perhaps, if I'm lucky--farther this evening and a lot more tomorrow, because I would really like to have 40k by Sunday evening.
Yes, 20k per week is a bit much. But this story is (so far) going strong!Labels: alesander, deadfall

Part 2 of "How Lyenel met Jeril" and Part 10 of Deadfall are up! I'd best get cracking; I'm writing Part 12 at the moment. Yikes!Labels: alesander, deadfall, storydreams
