I am going to try to get these chapters out so I can write more and not feel guilty about leaving you guys hanging.
There is news though.
The site is going to have a renovation to it. Ms. Robin and I talked today. And I paid for the new site layout, so once she has time, she will be moving the site to the new theme. We will try to coordinate things since I do work now and part of being Assistant Manager was that I worked every other Saturday.
I am trying to get time to myself, but with that title comes responsibilities. Like last week, I needed to finish a quick quilt top for us to display. Once I get it quilted I will take a pic of it and show it to you guys. It was gorgeous! I have to still get some things down, but I will pic one week to work and so on. I have finally gotten it into people’s minds that I have a life besides making quilts. It is my hobby but writing is my passion.
So without much more to say, here is the chapter.
Enjoy!!!

PS, 4PAdfoot wanted me to remind you guys there is a donation button. IT is for year long, and it goes ONLY to the site maintenance. I will be donating to it myself next week. I never realized that she has been paying close to $60 a month for this site!
We had a slight mishap in the chapter for this week. I will say this much, it is for Tired Wings.
Yep! It is one of the stories I have been hoping to get done. I am going line by line trying to save my beta some work since we found out the same error in chapter 9. It is an editing issue and will make no change to the story itself, but we are working on fixing it cause it will bug me otherwise.
I also have some RL issues going on at the same time, with Monday tiring me out. It might happen (I’m hoping so!) again tomorrow or later this week. If so, things will be a little delayed. Sorry, but it can’t be helped. But it is good things for the house so…
But I wanted to let you guys know we are working on stuff. It isn’t as fun as editing (which is not as fun as you might think) and I am needing to go line by line for 9 pages of edits to make sure everything is done. Hopefully, I am able to get one chapter at least sent to the betas, as I work on writing some more on Revelations to get that one done. I am almost done with that book, and the final story of that trilogy is already planned in my head. I wanted to get it on paper this week as well. We will see.
I am also rereading the In Death books by J.D. Robb aka Nora Roberts. I have found later that Hatter/Peter in Tea Shoppe was partly influenced by Roarke in the In Death books. Not that I knew it until later when I was describing him to someone and it flashed across my head the similarities. At least at the beginning.
So, I am working on returning to writing, as I mentioned before. And I wanted to let you know that there is a slight problem we are working through to get the chapter to you this week and that it is on a story that most of you have been waiting on. Be patient!! NO story is going to be unfinished. As evidenced by the fact I am going back to the beginning to finish those stories.
So here is what is going on. I am planning to go for one week working on stories (last week) and one week working on quilting (this week). I’m trying to merge the two things I enjoy doing to see if I can get back in the rhythm of working on stories as well as doing all the quilting I have to do.
Also, I have mentioned this before, I am working on finishing the older stuff first. So that means Alice (aka Revelations) which will be wrapping up soon but will go to the last of the sequel I had planned for the trilogy. I will also be working on Tea Shoppe (both the Twilight and the Alice version). Then onto Tin Man, Once Upon a Time. Lastly, will be What If.
During this time, I will be also editing the stories I have already written. Which are Tea Shoppe (which goes hand in hand to the above since it will allow me to get back in the swing of things), My two Marvel Stories that I have written out, and Sacred.
I will be sending one of those chapters to a beta a week as I can. No promises if a muse gets inspired, but I am going to try. As well, I will be posting a chapter a week. Since I will be working only every other week on writing, we will see how this does. I have some chapters banked, and I will be dipping into those as I send chapters out hoping to get them back in time to post. This is to helpfully get you guys back to the site, as well as not overwhelming me. I already have quite a few quilts I need to finish here before Christmas so I am trying not to stress myself on that end as well.
It’s sad when you have to explain to your nephews that I will make them another quilt next year, not this year, but they were so excited that they already picked out what they want. ::Shaking her head at her nephews::
So without further ado, here is the chapter for this week:
So for the month of July, I spent it as busy as hell, or sick. With the two juxtapositioning over each other sadly way too often.
In the middle of June, I was looking at the last week of the month, excited but at the same time worried. My parents, who lived with me at the time, were moving out the last week, with the last day planned for Saturday, with me having guests (in-laws) that following Monday. I also had a quilt due, as well as after they left after a week, I was going to have a couple of days down, then will be living at my brothers for a week and a half watching my three nephews.
I thought it would be tight, but hey, I can do this!
That last week, they closed on Monday, and we proceeded to show how much a Traverse could hold and move. They wanted to sleep in their new place after I showed them how much we moved in one day? Sure!! Mr. M (aka Mr. Kittyinaz) packed my mattress in the traverse (a queen, and holy cow!!) Then I spent that Thursday while everyone worked, packing the rest of my parent’s bedroom. (Yes, they were not done packing… ) Then we spent that evening, moving what we could there. And found more things that could fit in the Traverse that I never thought could. However, my hubby borrowed my brother’s truck and moved a lot also. The rest to be moved on Saturday. Which left Friday as me desperately cleaning, moving around my house. (At one point I had a couch in the kitchen stuck and had all the cats watching me clean around it, and move a dining room table from one end of the house to another by myself.
Remember, I had guests coming, and the house had been configured for two families only sharing the kitchen basically. And my mom and I sharing an office. So I was spreading the belongings of my side of the house to the rest of the house, as well as cleaning and washing so much stuff cause I was about to lose the washer and dryer. M came home to start laughing at me and the way I had chairs stuck in places as well as the before mentioned couch of my parents. (yeah not mine. That was staying in the front room now designated the living room only). He soon was working, and getting into the idea I had of trying to get everything gone and what could be cleaned as soon as possible, had us moving things outside to store in the garage at midnight only stopping at 3 am.
We then moved them the rest of the way with the help of my brother, his truck, and a trailer. And oh yeah. The aforementioned Traverse. We were done moving them out and then went home to work some more on the house.
There was a laundry list of things to be fixed, and we did them. Then I went to lie down with a headache, and then woke up to no sink in the main bathroom. I had asked him to fix the leak, and the pedestal sink (that I absolutely hated) cracked all the way. So we ended up having to replace the whole thing and went for one that was a vanity. There were other things that went wrong, and as M said, if it wasn’t for his bad luck, he wouldn’t have had any.
We get everything done in time and spent the following week showing them Houston. Only resting on Wednesday (7/4) cause of a storm. Somewhere, (maybe exhaustion?) I started to get sick on Friday, but pushed it off, as nothing big. I spent the following week cleaning and resting. Then went off to watch the boys. It was fun, and my family was reminded of how I made up games for everyone all the time. The boys loved it. And though I was sick and very exhausted, I loved it as well. They helped me with the cutting out of the hundreds of pieces I needed for the quilt and would work with me.
But I was seriously sick and was so bad I was on the BRAT diet. I came home sleeping and trying to better on Wednesday, and ended up with an infected tooth. I had a quilt class that Mom and I signed up for, and went to it, with my pain tolerance kicking in finally. I went to that each week and finally got to the dentist, only to have him tell me I am insane. Apparently, it was a very bad infection. He was worried cause I have VERY bad ringing in my ears, and wanted to make sure he didn’t make it worse cause he had been told that it can add to the pain I would be feeling. Somehow, my allergy to penicillin was missed. Luckily my Pharmacy caught it and it was fixed. I spent a weekend in bed sleeping with taking pills as needed.
Last week I finally got the root canal and would sleep irregularly, with my insomnia kicking up and finally kicking in completely Friday night. Which I had a class that morning, then I family party that I had to show up for a little bit to show I was alive. Especially since it was my cousin who figured out I was really sick and checked up on me the entire time. (The antibiotics had kicked whatever it was that had me so sick as well).
Which leads to now. The second day since that long ago day in June as feeling better mostly rested and pain-free. While I am LOVING having my own place with my pets and my hubby only, it had been a huge ride to get here. I am also working on the class stuff then I still have that quilt to finish as soon as I do the stuff I needed to this week for the class.
I REALLY want to write, and even have a plan ready. I am going to finish those fics that I started out on, to get them finished, then go back to the other stuff that I am still strongly inspired for. I am also going to try to edit things, and so on. However, I do plan to make quilts and sell them, as well as take orders. Something to help supplement the one income we are having in, while not working on my end.
And just for a last whatever, if anyone is interested in seeing what I am doing, I am posting the finished blocks, I am learning to make on the Kittyinaz’s Group. Now, I am going back to finish up the Ohio Star and the four after that one to finish my homework for this week.
The sad news: Stormy is still listed among the missing. I hope she found someone new and is living in the lap of luxury.
Now all good news.

Ok, now good news. I have two new kittens. And I will say two is the way to go in the future. Loving is all done as normal, but they play with each other ALOT.
Connor has seemed to have attracted Smokey, who is the tortoise shelled kitten. She was born around my birthday this year. She ADORES him and he is lost and always looking for M and me to rescue him. He has started to calm down and is allowing her to sleep with him the few times she has wanted to.
Bobbie, who is the orange tabby with unusual markings, has decided that he is my cat. He wakes me up each morning wanting me to love on him (apparently sleeping is just too long of a time without love!). Since he is sneaky and does this before my brain connects with NOT doing it, he gets lots of love. He follows me from room to room. Often with Smokey following him like a train of ducks. He was born 3 months later than Smokey, but is now to the point that he doesn’t look like he is younger than her.
They have made it where my depression is not governing my life as strongly. I am up and about and cleaning my house each day, or close enough. Hard to quilt while they try to climb up on me while I am working. But the pure laughter that they cause as they do Kitten things.
I was not able to work on writing, until Thursday night. That night I got to work on All I want’s sequel. The scene jumped in my head and has truly inspired me. Now to make it where I finish these quilts, work on Boat seats and write all at once!
Hopefully, in a few months will start the reno on the house. THAT will be quite interesting.
For now, I wanted to let you know I haven’t forgotten anyone. My desktop had decided to stop working, telling me there is no Harddrive. I was like… okkkkkkk. But this weekend was dedicated to cleaning out the office to allow my mom to pack up her belongings so I can move into the room more. All that will be left is her computer and the stuff needed with it NOW. We have been doing this to each and every room, which is making it interesting for me to start arranging things the way I want it. It won’t be done all the way until at least they move out. They have done much for us, including selling us this house. It may need work, but it is livable and will be awesome when we are done with it.
That is it for the heads up on what is going on. I have to make a baby quilt and keep trucking as I finish them. I will be posting pics as I go. And we have a page somewhere for where I am showing the ones I have finished so far. Just need to find where we put it! Thanks for your patience as I move on to something to help bring in money for the renovations and so on. Once life settles again, I hope to be able to set a better schedule for things. But since I just got a schedule started for cleaning and so on this week and not having to drag my butt outta bed to make myself do it, I may need some time.
It truly is amazing the stuff you can find on the internet. I searched Alexander Skarsgard leprechaun and the picture above is what popped up. I think it is fitting for today. Sorry I missed posting last week, but Daylight Savings in the USA screwed me up. Losing one hour completely wrecked my week. I…
Can someone please explain to me why I am seeing more snow in March than I did in the entire months of December and January???? I should be getting ready for spring, not worrying about shoveling 8 inches of snow. The only way snow in March is acceptable is if it this is part of…
Hello lovelies. I cannot guarantee I will be back to publishing weekly, but I will try. My dear beta, kleannhouse, is in high demand trying to juggle the stories of three writers. She is amazing and she makes me laugh with all of her comments on my stories. This one especially. I started this story…
