On a Misty Morning….
So the best thing about being up in the actual morning is coffee. Or at least it is from my perspective. And building my own weird little world requires caffeine. Today I decided to give Gwyneth a bit of a casual look, because she’s working after all, and it’s not always practical to order your… Continue reading

Shaggy Cat Story
With apologies to the monstrous and daunting songwriting talent of Randy Newman, of course. I changed only a few lines in the song, but I think it kinda works! I don’t know what came over me: must be these Crazy and Cute Cat Slippers from Death Row Designs. They’re at The Crossroads. YouTube: Original Randy Newman recording of “You Can… Continue reading

Beginning a Book Forest
I’m building a book forest. Yes, that’s right: a book forest. I got inspired by this gacha at The Guardians, the Storybook Gacha by BananaN. One of the rares is a Book Door! And I was thinking, what would you find if you walked through a Book Door? I’d come across this great set from Una, the Book Road, after I… Continue reading

Rendezvous
You just never know what people are going to throw at you, do you? Owen said, ‘Meet me up on the roof in an hour. I’ve got a proposition for you.’ He waggled his eyebrows, just like old times. I knew it wasn’t that kind of proposition, but Owen’s known I have a crush on him for long enough… Continue reading

Tranquility, Temporary
I don’t think there’s a word that really means “the calm after a storm”. Someone suggested “lull” to me, but that sounds like a quiet bit inside a storm to me, not the calm that comes after it. Anyway, I am enjoying that temporary tranquility today. I just threw on some jeans and a jumper (sweater, Americans!) and headed for… Continue reading

Bringing Back the Light
These Dark Days will segue soon enough into light. So much work to do, before they’re done. And of course it falls to us magical beings to set the wheels of the Cosmos into motion, because we are the Beings who see those wheels. From the lonely strands of Winter, we weave the roots of… Continue reading

Waiting
Patience is a virtue I’ve never had. So shopping at any time of the year with Nathaniel is a bit of a trial. Shopping with him at Christmas is a nightmare. Don’t get me wrong: I love him deeply, but I have seen this man stare at two waistcoats for three quarters of an hour, trying… Continue reading

I’m pretty sure.
I don’t know why, but I’ve been thinking a lot about my childhood lately. Perhaps it was the question one of the unpleasant and omnipresent Seelie Court Ladies asked back at the formal Samhain Feast, which is a lot like Christmas Dinner With Aunt Trudy (c’mon; we all have one) in that it is both boring… Continue reading

Deep red the bracken; its shape is lost; the wild goose has Raised its accustomed cry. Cold has seized the birds wings; season of ice. This is my news.… Continue reading
