OK – Testing, because a minute ago I was locked out of my own thread…

Thanks Jonathan, Raine – more food for thought!
Glad you’d read on, though… 😉

Fab night at NIBS last night – some amazing work coming out of the group. Not least because of a prompt that had middle-aged Gwendoline going on the rampage in the works canteen wearing underwear made from Wotsits, and evading security on a hostess trolley…

Thanks, Gipps – and you should see my scrap bag! I’m sure there’s at least another quilt in there trying to get out, plus a couple of sets of squares that I need to do something with…
Next quilting project is one for my son – I’m aiming to get it done by the time he goes to uni. Which gives me a year…eeek!!

Choose ring bound notebooks to scribble ideas in; you’ll never lose your pen if you keep one clipped down the inside of the rings…

Jane – yes, this is the start of number 2…
Will have a think about the success bit… If two peeps think it, you might well have a point. 😉

We used to have a place for Writing Prompts on the cloud…can’t remember where. Is there any mileage in having the same here? And if so, is the Lifeboat the best place for it? Happy to kick one off if folks want it – I’m heading to NIBS tonight and there’s a couple of corkers we’re going to be using…

Oh I see! Sort of a ‘how much longer is she going to keep trying this?’ vibe?

Thanks Kate, Mad.
Actually, I reckon your way would work too, Mad. I suppose it depends what it is you’re trying to emphasise in the opener – for me, it was the fact that Tilda’s been trying to get this bloomin’ illuminorb right for so long, whereas depending on how you worded the next bit, your suggestion might focus attention on Silviu and his…[Read more]

Ta, Jules. I’m working on the theory that this quilt can be reversible, in that the visible spirals on the ‘back’ are just as lovely as the mixed coloured stripes on the ‘front’. A lot still to do though.

Apologies for the formatting! That’ll teach me to cut and paste…

…how does this grab you?
It wasn’t until her twenty-seventh attempt that Tilda finally managed to produce her first illuminorb.
And a good job, too, because by the twenty-sixth attempt, Silviu’s patience was wearing very thin. “Concentrate, Tilda,” the Ambakian powermage snapped.
“I am concentrating.” Tilda rubbed her palm against her…[Read more] -

So far, have written a blog post, messaged a friend who is feeling frazzled about son starting uni, and am about to do a bit on the WIP. Happy Squidge!

Just to make up for the rather morose blog I shared a few days ago about the demise of the cloud, here’s one that is decidedly more upbeat. And has nothing to do with writing except for having a shout-out for the Den!
(Promise I won’t post tons of Scribbles links – I’ll only post the writingy ones from here on in!)

So… I really ought to do some housework before I do any writing today.
What’s that? You think I ought to do the writing first? Oh….go on, then. I will. Wordy Wednesday, here I come 😉
