Since I’ve gained a number of new followers, I should introduce myself again. I write Regency Romance, with 🫑 spice. I love research rabbit holes, usually for history or films/television. Casablanca is my comfort film, and I always have some knitting project on my needles. And I read. A lot.

Note from my notebook (2018). Still relevant.
THE TEN STAGES OF BOOK WRITING: 1. Faffing. 2. Terror. 3. More faffing. 4. ‘SHIT I AM SO BEHIND.’ 5.  Zombie who can’t think about anything but book and dreams about book every night. 6. ‘This is awful.’ 7.  ‘This might be OK, and that faffing might have been of benefit after all.’ 8. ‘Oh my god I hope I don’t die before I’m done.’ 9. ‘DONE! Never doing that again.’ 10. Write another book.

A wood table with tools for watercolors spread across it. In the middle are two finished pictures, both depicting watermelon slices. One says in black script, "Hello, August," while the other reads, "Sweet Watermelon."

Small pink flowers laying on a rough wood table, some in the background in an old watering can. Small white eggs with speckles share the table with the blossoms.

A strip of beach on a slightly overcast day. Sitting on the sand is two rows of turquoise blue beach chairs. Between every other chair is a large orange beach umbrella to help keep the sun off.

You're looking at a 200 year-old wisteria vine at Byakugou-ji Temple in Tamba, Hyogo, Japan.

The delicate pink/purple blossoms create an otherworldly place where magic can happen.

But here's an interesting fact: wisteria are in the legume family (Fabaceae). This is a magic beanstalk.
Taken from a Reddit post, a framework supports purple-pink blossoms that blot out the top of the photo, shading the light a magical color, with a dark vine stem in the distance.

Photo taken from water level of an inflatable flamingo pool toying bobbing happily on bright sea green water. There are hills in the background, suggesting the flamingo is on a lake.

Friends gathered on a bridge to celebrate, sparklers in their hands. Our view is close on the sparkler nearest the camera, burning bright above the fingers which hold it as, in the background, day slips into night.

A mesh hammock with a grey, white, and teal pillow stands empty, inviting one to lie down. A small pool is in the back ground, complete with a fountain dribbling water, and a raised concrete border. Everything is overlaid with a pink filter.

Shopping for a new washing machine was not on the to-do list for the day when I woke up. It is now.

Cut glass tumblers on a table, small limes littered about them and large slices of watermelon in the background. The glasses are filled with ice, a clear liquid, sliced limes, and chunks of watermelon, the glasses garnished with mint.

I do sometimes actually finish projects. My Dark Academia, which I finished in early 2025, but didn't get to wear until this year. My first seriously large color work project, which is now baggy on me due to weight loss during my cancer treatment last year.

View from my window this morning. Summer is definitely on its way.
Looking out through a window onto a suburban street with a flowering hedge, green trees, and a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. The foreground is dark, shot from inside, with cups full of pens lined up against an old, early 60s style window frame.

Felt the need to take a break from color work, so gave in to the temptation to cast on a Three Season Pullover from @woolandpine.bsky.social The yarn is Malabrigo Rios in Glitter. The suggestion is for a cotton/linen worsted, but when I saw the Rios, my mind immediately went "That."

What type of Monday is it?

I'm trying to find a Regency equivalent for the phrase, "Who pissed in his Cheerios?"

(Ah, revisions.)

The bushes around the house are blooming beautifully this year, complete with new growth where there had previously been bare wood. This is due to the new gardener, who has a delicate touch with his tools. I've watch him shave just the barest sliver off, shaping them and encouraging new growth.
Closeup of a flowering bush filled with predominantly orange and red flowers, though there are a few purple ones poking their heads up.

The yarn that was tempting me? Saw a few reviews which were less than positive. One said it was so scratchy it was "like wearing steel wool."

Makes me glad I resisted.

The Pantages Theatre in Hollywood is a great place for small details. The lobby and house are filled with amazing Art Deco style, which was lovingly restored in 2000, including these tiles from one of the Ladies' Rooms, carrying through the striking theme of the building.
A closeup of black tile with the top row featuring an art deco pattern of pink and rose curved lines on a dark and pale green background. In the center of each tile is a dramatic black "V." The tiles below are solid black and the wall above is cream-colored.
