Another Day Undone


Plans. Bah! I planned on working on my characters and their drawings but the electricity went down. That meant I had to go to non-webs. Plenty of piano when the light from the window was good. No diamond painting as light pads and other overhead lighting was out.

While the light was good I got sucked into the yoga socks. Rather than move to another pair of circulars as I hit the heel hole, I pulled out the double pointed needles.

That took over the rest of my day.

It takes about four rows to get over the wibbly-wobblies.

Yoga Socks Sunday


No handsome face could ever take the place of Milo…

I won!
Milo and my yoga socks. I’d like a longer cuff, but these are comfy.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “joke.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!

I had a great idea for today’s blog. But first thing today, my husband decided to run utilities and updates for me. I hate doing that, so I’m always grateful when he wants to do that boring task. But that means I lost all my tabs.

Two projects have me challenged. Figuring out how to make the heel hole in my yoga socks. Especially, two at a time socks. No YouTubes seem to address my particular issues. But I had saved a couple that would have helped a bit. So issue one was finding the sites.

Problem number two:  I have created three characters. I actually dreamed about them and wanted to draw and write stories to get better acquainted. But the socks got in the way.

I finally separated the socks and find it is working. Yay! But somewhere my muses are giggling about how best laid plans fall down the rabbit holes! The joke is on me!


Finished the bottom of the DP and now in the basket area.
The sock above is farther along. I think they’re pretty but the work is difficult. Too pretty for yoga socks.

I’ve sight read to the ‘O’s. I wasn’t at all impressed with Ode to Billy Joe. Some songs call for guitar not piano.

It is full fall now. It seemed the leaves turned and are falling within a couple of days. We’re back to dripping faucets and heaters. I’m still rebelling with bare feet. My brother and son still wear shorts with heavy jackets to take out the dog.

Thursday


I’m feeling this right now.

One-Liner Wednesday


It takes strength of character to develop characteristics for new characters.

Sunday Funny


This reminds me of our Sammie. Or is it the other way around? That scrappy feral kitten is looking more and more like Garfield. I’m constantly telling the other guy to show down on the treats. He’ll do it for affection.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “eek/eke.” Use one, use both (for bonus points), use ’em however you see fit. Enjoy!

Eek! My stream is rather a tiny creek, this week. But let’s keep eking it out. Or am I just a geek speaking tongue-in-cheek? Ewe, that reek is not fenugreek!

See you midweek!


Well, I reported the finished projects last week, so today I’ll share new projects and progress of others.

My new flower balloon is grounded. The dark drill eyestrain is done.
The yoga socks on the Hiya-Hiya Flyers are coming along. The more I work with these skinny, sharp needles, the more I like them. I just need my stronger glasses to ensure nice stitches.
My experimental yoga socks will teach me, soon, how to leave out a heel. But will I have enough yarn for the ankle? Playing yarn chicken.
The watermelon socks have progressed to the arch.
The slipper socks are coming along.
I’m sight-reading through this book. I’m about halfway through, song titles starting with “I” as in “I’ll Be There”. This is fun. Some songs surprise me. Eleanor Rigby was fun to sing and play. As I play I’m finding the ones that challenge me while being doable. Then I will systematically print them. Then I can learn them well enough to sing.

Having not found a website to track my November novel, I’ve started to prepare anyway. My friend and I got together today to start finding characters. We’ve done it often this way. In person when we could, but now on Zoom.

We take each characteristic, randomly select a trait, and move on to the next.

It’s always a surprise how quickly the new character becomes nearly flesh and blood. As my first character came through, Ervin Norbert Dorris (the name randomly generated in WriteItNow 6.03c) seems a dirty troll under his homemade bridge with an attitude like Dexter. Well, the antagonist showed up first. That’s different.

My friend found a rather strong pretty punk character I think will be quite fun.

How do you start a book? For us the characters seem to people a world. Hopefully, all that prep gives us a start.

Happy prepping, all my NaNoWriMo friends!

One-Liner Wednesday


What are you all doing for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) now that we don’t have a website to keep track of our progress?

My question is the One-Liner of One-Liner Wednesday.
