Summer Stuff

I'm presently two months ahead on writing posts for the blog, so I'm wondering if I should schedule two posts per day during summer rather than end up three months ahead of myself. Probably maybe might. :)

After experimenting for six months I have figured out how to make a large NY style pepperoni pizza (including the sauce) at home using common ingredients that cost about $5.00. My guy absolutely loves it and wants me to make it all the time. Given that most large pizzas are three times what my homemade one costs I might share my recipe on the blog next time I make one. I've never published a from-scratch recipe online so I'm a bit nervous.

I'm seeing a lot of outdated info and maps on the different places we've been visiting, and I love these towns, so I'm considering writing a free e-book on places to visit and walk through, and some of the loveliest features.

Along with my planned art quilt, my 2025 mini-quilt project and everything else I have on my plate, I think that's enough to keep me busy this summer. :)

Wishing

I submitted book one of my NA series for professional review and consideration, and in return I was praised for the work and provided with excellent feedback. Now I have some changes to contemplate, and decisions to make about the future. I have a couple of different directions to take, which makes the deciding part a challenge. At times like these I wish I had a crystal ball so I could see the outcome of every choice. Wouldn't life be easier if we could do that? Image by Matthias Böckel from Pixabay

Downtown Discovery

My guy and I are taking time each week to walk around the downtown areas of places we've never had time before to visit, which is how I came across a lovely fiber art supplies shop wth amazing handspun art yarns and hand-dyed embroidery threads from local artists. Fine silk embroidery thread is literally impossible to find in my part of the country, but not anymore. I also loved the amazing selection of hand-dyed flosses. I even found some tiny seed beads for my current project, and a gift for a quilter friend. While I try to thrift as much as I can for my art quilting and embroidery these days, I love the chance to support our my local weavers and dexters.

Of Kork

On the second day of March I overslept. I spent ten hours sleeping, which is very unusual for me. This is because I've suffered from insomnia most of my life, but since making significant changes (like acquiring my current day job, which allowed me to escape all the toxic people I had to deal with in my old job) I sleep much better. These days I usual manage six or seven hours sleep, and if I'm very lucky eight. But ten? I sleep that much only a couple times a year, and generally only when I'm sick. Dreams might be to blame. I remember the night was filled with them, all lovely. I traveled across Europe, I walked the streets of old cities and met lots of interesting people. In one city I stopped by an engagement party where a very attractive couple were exchanging signed contracts. The groom showed me his, and I read these words: "Course shall become Kork." I understood then that they meant to be together forever, and that it was a reincarnation co...
