Misc Monday ~ in which it’s still Monday some places

It's still Monday. Barely. I wanted to write this post earlier, but I REALY wanted to have the giveaway photo for you, so I kept putting it off. Now, with an hour and a half left to go in Monday, I finally have the photo: This is what you're entering a giveaway for. A Spiraldex…

Friday Reads ~ in which nothing much happened

My motivation seems to have fled. Has anyone seen it? Reading-wise, I haven't gotten much done. That's partly because I've been working on my magazine pile, and have been going through those and (of the magazines I kept because they look interesting) determining which ones are interesting enough that I'll actually read them. So not much book…

WIP Weds ~ in which there is good news and bad news

Let's start with the good news: I finished the second Circle of Love lace cowl! This is the beaded one, and I knit until I ran out of beads. Fortunately, I had just enough beads to (almost) finish a round. I was missing a bead for the very last double-decrease, which was much better than…

Misc Monday ~ in which I have a giveaway

Happy Monday, and Happy April! I feel like doing a giveaway today... sound okay to you? So, I've only made a little reference to it, but I've been using the Bullet Journal method for organizing for a little over the past year. I've been really enjoying it. I've also been using the Spiraldex time tracking system for a…

Before we get to the regularly scheduled 10 on Tuesday blog, I want to take a moment to congratulate the winners of my birthday/wedding/blog milestone contest! I used Random.Org to select the winners: The winner of the yarny prize is L-Squared! The winner of the booky prize is Kathy B! Both winners have been emailed.…

Contest Time!

Today is Wednesday, and Wednesday is normally for knitting WIPs on this blog. However, today we’re going to do something different. Today I want to celebrate my birthday hobbit-style. Or I suppose I could celebrate my wedding hobbit-style, since I have two prizes to give away. (No, I did not get married on my birthday.…

The Zombie Billionaire’s Virgin Witch

The Zombie Billionaire's Virgin Witch is not just a fun story. It is a fun story and so much more. Part "Ratatouille," part "Top Chef," and all magic, this is a story of love, loss, and a father's hope for his daughter's happiness. I could describe this -- completely accurately -- as a romance novel.…

Contest! Contest! Contest! ~ The Zombie Billionaire’s Virgin Witch

I recently finished reading Joely Sue Burkhart's fun book The Zombie Billionaire's Virgin Witch. It's a self-published eBook that I received as a review copy. However, I love Joely's work enough - and was intrigued by the premise - that I would have bought it anyway. So, instead of buying the copy that *I* read,…
