Zoom

A few years ago I pitched a series project idea at work that ended up on the back burner while we did other things. I wasn't upset; this kind of thing happens to every working writer. I never forgot about that idea, though, as I liked it a lot and thought it would be fun to write.

When I got a chance to submit it again this year I revised it, of course, but the basic concept was the same. I then got some great feedback on my first pass review, which I incorporated before I submitted it a second time. Sometimes this process can take several attempts before I get approval. Sometimes even with revisions it still doesn't work and the idea gets bounced or back-burnered. For these reasons I try not to get too attached to any project, but I was cautiously hopeful.

Turned out that the third time was a charm, as the project idea got approved this week. I have to do a bit of research this weekend, and then on Monday I'll get started on the new series.

I'm so happy. I love my job. :)

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.

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.

In the Kitchen Garden

Our strawberries are taking over the kitchen garden, but I don't mind. This week I want to make some strawberry banana nice cream (a vegan version of ice cream) and maybe a chocolate cake with berries and cream for the topping. There's thyme in the garden now, too, which I'll dry and jar for cooking along with the chives and the oregano. Next we'll plant cucumbers, as I use a ton of those in our salads and for snacks.
