Lace Doily – Crete
October Prompt ~ Lace Doily ~ Have I ever made anything as intricate and beautiful as a lace doily? That would be a ‘No’.
On the other hand, my life often enough takes on the complexity of such work and October is looking to be no less so than several other months this year and last. The value of the prompt is in reminding me of the possibility of arriving at such a beautiful conclusion.
So, what issues are hanging on my Bobbins?
Firstly, I need to get on with a lot of writing admin. The tax return for last year, record keeping and train tickets to the RNA winter party (going without responsibility for the first time in a long time. Thanks, Sue).
Writing – Who thought it would be a nice idea to enter the Mslexia Novella competition, being unpublished in that length? Okay, that was me and the fee and entry uploaded without incident. Isn’t it great that technology has at last arrived at an understanding of the actual needs of some users? Never say never, so it needs to be finished while the idea is still hot.
The project I’m engaged on with DC Thomson. Nearly there, just waiting for a few clearances.
A workshop for the Scottish Association of Writers. To be delivered in March, but advertised before then.
Real Life – Church stuff, Christmas stuff, Strictly has started, people stuff……………………. So lucky to have them all around.
What’s on your Bobbins?
