Opposition

When it comes to romantic stories I've always been a big fan of having opposites attract, probably because that's been my life experience. My guy and I are complete polar opposites in almost everything except upbringing and values. It makes us good problem solvers because we tackle things from different angles -- he's operates on experience and is very methodical and conservative; I'm more intuitive and creative, and I'm willing to take risks.

Every relationship is different, such as the one in NA #2 between the protagonists. I started out with a vague Cinderella-in-toe-shoes idea but then it morphed on me as I put these two characters together on the page to see what happened. Unlike the protags in book one they're two sides of the same personality -- or maybe not. I'm not sure, as it's continuing to change and grow as I write the story. I'm just along for the ride now.

Should be interesting to see what I end up with for the second book. Stay tuned. :)

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

The Mercantile

If you don't mind walking 33K square feet in retail space, The Mercantile may be the vintage/arts store you'd enjoy visiting if you're ever in Orlando. I certainly did. Because it was busy I didn't take any photos in the store, but it's absolutely amazing and chock full of antiques and artisan creations, most of which were pretty reasonably priced. For $21.00 I invested in a picture of sailboats for the guest bathroom I'm redoing, and a fairy mystery jar of cool stuff. The jaw was hand-painted and decorated, and utterly charming. I think I wanted the jar more than the contents. As you can see the contents were both generous and pretty cool, too. I finally have some vintage gloves to use for my art quilter bingo challenge!
