Lady Wynwood #7 early release Kickstarter

I worked on my first Kickstarter and it got approved! It’s for the Special Edition Hardcover of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 1: Archer and the release of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7: Spinster. I contacted my graphic designer about the Special Edition Hardcover of vol. 1: Archer—it’s going to be SO beautiful! The Kickstarter focuses on the Special Edition Hardcover, but it’ll also include vol. 7: Spinster so that it’ll sort of be like a launch day for vol. 7, too. A third special thing that’ll be in the Kickstarter is Special Edition Paperbacks of all the books in the series. They won’t be available in stores, just in the Kickstarter (and later, from my website, and also in my Patreon book box tiers if I decide to do them). The Kickstarter is not live yet, but you can follow it to be alerted when it has launched. (You may need to create a free Kickstarter account.) Follow Camy’s Kickstarter

Sunday Prayer

Captain’s Log, Stardate 02.12.2006

Leave any prayer requests in the comments and I’ll be praying this week. You don’t have to be Christian to leave a prayer request. If you’d rather not advertise to everyone on the blogosphere, just leave an unspoken prayer request or email me.

If you don’t see yourself and you want to, email me or leave a comment. Not to be mean or anything, but if you don't email me or comment to update your prayer request, I'm only going to pray 3 Sundays.

Father God, you are holy and mighty and we are silent and still before you now.

Lord please comfort Runningfawn right now in her grief. I pray you will comfort her and provide for her and her family.

Father, I lift up Christina to you and thank you for all you're doing in her and through her while she's serving you in Japan. Please keep her, Joy, and the Uchimura's in good health. Help her to draw closer to you and feel your presence in her devotionals. Reveal to her more of who you are. Give her strength and courage as she passes out tracts and reaches out to people, and help her with Open Class. Please help that and her final reports to go smoothly. I pray you will provide Sagamihara with another English teacher. Please help her to do her best for you these last few weeks.

Thank you for Heather's new computer. Please help her to pay it off quickly. Please send her more business. Help her to write diligently for you, and give her strength to fight the spiritual warfare she's experiencing.

Lord, I lift Pammer into your hands. Cover her with your grace and help her to find your peace in the midst of everything. Give her strength to conquer her fear and to fight the spiritual warfare attacking her. Please also heal Greg from his rash, and I pray that Julie's lumps are benign.

Please be with Squirl's doctors and give them wisdom. I pray they can schedule a surgery date quickly for her. Please heal her hip and free her from pain.

Be with Dineen now as she finishes her manuscript. Help her to write for you, and trust in you to be with her.

Please open doors for Robin and guide her where you want her to go. Be with each of her proposals and manuscripts and take her to the right publishing house, where her writing can glorify you.

Father, please be with Ronie in the midst of this change. Help her to trust you and Lord, please be faithful to her and show her your glorious love and blessing and joy.

Give Ron your peace and everything he needs in the midst of his work, family, and writing.

Heal Mir from her body pains and aching. Ease her pain, Lord, and give her energy to get things done, including her writing. Thank you that her nephew is fine. And Lord, I pray for both Mir and myself, please help us to have self-control in our eating and exercise!

Cover Sharon H. with your grace and surround her with your presence as she writes and does edits.

Give Charise direction and guidance in her job search.

Help Lori's knee to heal quickly and smoothly. Give wisdom to her doctors and therapists.

Please continue to heal Amber. Lord, we lift her into your hands and praise you for your power.

Thank you for directing Gina to the agent you want for her. Please lead and guide her in her writing projects.

Please heal Darlene's rash completely. Please also be with her friend Val and Val's daughter. I pray for healing for her daughter's illness and ease from her suffering. Please also help her daughter to regain her self-esteem in you, somehow, Lord.

Lord, please be with Donna during these next seven weeks as she writes her manuscript. Please help her to get it done, and to glorify you with it.

Please continue to help Gail heal quickly and smoothly. Be with her daughter Brenda during her chemotherapy, and please ease her discomfort.

Help Heather G. to find her identity and self-worth in you alone.

Please heal Malia's knee quickly and smoothly without surgery. Also please work out her insurance problems so that everything will be paid for.

Please be with Rachel H. as she does rewrites. Give her ideas and creativity. Most of all, keep your hand over her so that her novel will glorify you.

Lord, I lift up Gina's mother in law (Rob's mum). Thank you that her attitude is so joyful and upbeat. Father, please heal her. She's in your hands.

Be with Mok in her job and writing. I pray everything goes well for the March 1st crossover.

Father, please be with Mariah, keep your hand over her. Lead her to a better place, and open her heart to you. Help her to see her salvation and rest is in you, Lord. Continue to draw her to Ruthy's church.

Please be with Dream as she prepares tax returns, and give her your peace in the midst of chaos. Bless her writing time, too, Lord.

Lord, please give peace to my friends married to non-believers this week.

Watch over your persecuted church. Give them strength, and help them to continue to trust in you. Rescue them and use them for your glory.

Thank you for helping me to recover from my surgery so smoothly. Please continue to heal me. Please give me the self-control and discipline I need to take care of my body and lose weight. I pray I'll hear back from that publishing house soon, Lord, and I bow to whatever your will is for me. I trust you, Father.

Holy is the Lord God Almighty. Amen.

Falafels: There's a Greek restaurant near church that sells the best falafels and gyros I've ever had. My husband and I go there for lunch often after service.

For one, I think it's a family owned place and the guys there are Greek. I hear them talking to each other in some foreign language that doesn't sound Arab/Middle Eastern and it's not Spanish, French or German.

For two, the pita bread is freshly made--soft and fresh-grilled.

For three, the falafel sandwich is stuffed with little falafel balls (ground garbanzo beans with spices, and deep-fried). Not one or two or even three. Usually four of five of those suckers crammed onto the pita.

For four, they use this yogurt sauce that's to die for. Slightly tangy, not overwhelming, it perfectly compliments the falafel balls and these little pickles they put in the sandwich. They top it off with lettuce and tomatoes.

All the different flavors and textures makes this sandwich pure heaven for me. Can you guess what I had for lunch today?

Bible in 90 Days: Day 35. Haven't done it yet today, but I'll get it read tonight.

Writing: Got some writing done last night and critting done today.

Diet: Falafel for lunch (700?) and 30 minutes on the exercise bike. Dinner is cheese fondue--and before you cry foul, I've already calculated the calories and it won't be more than 800 at worst, because we're using vegetables.

Comments

Hey girl, thank you soooooooo much for your prayers. They mean so much to me.

You'll have to tell me where this place is. I haven't had a decent Falafel since we moved back from Europe. LOL!

Thanks for the prayers. I'm due tomorrow so I should be announcing the new arrival of a wee bundle of joy soon. :)

Now that I'm starving thanks to your yummy description, I'm off to snarf something probably no where near as yummy.

Tabi socks, part deux

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.25.2008 (If you're on Ravelry, friend me! I'm camytang.) I made tabi socks again! (At the bottom of the pattern is the calculation for the toe split if you're not using the same weight yarn that I did for this pattern (fingering). I also give an example from when I used worsted weight yarn with this pattern.) I used Opal yarn, Petticoat colorway. It’s a finer yarn than my last pair of tabi socks, so I altered the pattern a bit. Okay, so here’s my first foray into giving a knitting pattern. Camy’s top-down Tabi Socks I’m assuming you already know the basics of knitting socks. If you’re a beginner, here are some great tutorials: Socks 101 How to Knit Socks The Sock Knitter’s Companion A video of turning the heel Sock Knitting Tips Yarn: I have used both fingering weight and worsted weight yarn with this pattern. You just change the number of cast on stitches according to your gauge and the circumference of your ankle. Th

Grace Livingston Hill romances free to read online

I wanted to update my old post on Grace Livingston Hill romances because now there are tons more options for you to be able to read her books for free online! I’m a huge Grace Livingston Hill fan. Granted, not all her books resonate with me, but there are a few that I absolutely love, like The Enchanted Barn and Crimson Roses . And the best part is that she wrote over 100 books and I haven’t yet read them all! When I have time, I like to dive into a new GLH novel. I like the fact that most of them are romances, and I especially appreciate that they all have strong Christian themes. Occasionally the Christian content is a little heavy-handed for my taste, but it’s so interesting to see what the Christian faith was like in the early part of the 20th century. These books are often Cinderella-type stories or A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett) type stories, which I love. And the best part is that they’re all set in the early 1900s, so the time period is absolutely fasci

No Cold Bums toilet seat cover

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.22.2008 I actually wrote out my pattern! I was getting a lot of hits on my infamous toilet seat cover , and I wanted to make a new one with “improvements,” so I paid attention and wrote things down as I made the new one. This was originally based off the Potty Mouth toilet cover , but I altered it to fit over the seat instead of the lid. Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, about 120 yards (this is a really tight number, I used exactly 118 yards. My suggestion is to make sure you have about 130 yards.) I suggest using acrylic yarn because you’re going to be washing this often. Needle: I used US 8, but you can use whatever needle size is recommended by the yarn you’re using. Gauge: Not that important. Mine was 4 sts/1 inch in garter stitch. 6 buttons (I used some leftover shell buttons I had in my stash) tapestry needle Crochet hook (optional) Cover: Using a provisional cast on, cast on 12 stitches. Work in garter st until liner measures

Toilet seat cover

Captain’s Log, Supplemental Update August 2008: I wrote up the pattern for this with "improvements"! Here's the link to my No Cold Bums toilet seat cover ! Okay, remember a few days ago I was complaining about the cold toilet seat in my bathroom? Well, I decided to knit a seat cover. Not a lid cover, but a seat cover. I went online and couldn’t find anything for the seat, just one pattern for the lid by Feminitz.com . However, I took her pattern for the inside edge of the lid cover and modified it to make a seat cover. Here it is! It’s really ugly stitch-wise because originally I made it too small and had to extend it a couple inches on each side. I figured I’d be the one staring at it, so who cared if the extension wasn’t perfectly invisible? I used acrylic yarn since, well, that’s what I had, and also because it’s easy to wash. I’ll probably have to wash this cover every week or so, but it’s easy to take off—I made ties which you can see near the back of the seat. And

Captivating, chapter 3

Captain’s Log, Stardate 06.30.2006 Blog book giveaway: My Monday book giveaway is CONSIDER LILY by Anne Dayton and May Vanderbilt. My Thursday book giveaway is LOVE ONLINE by Kristin Billerbeck and Nancy Toback . You can still enter both giveaways. Just post a comment on each of those blog posts. On Thursday, I'll draw the winner for CONSIDER LILY and post the title for another book I'm giving away. Stay tuned. Haunted by a Question: Sorry, this is really long again. As before, some things I liked and some questions. Eve—What Happened? The authors say: “[Eve] brought strength to the world, but not a striving, sharp-edged strength. She was inviting, alluring, captivating.” I don’t know if I buy that. I don’t know if I really see how being inviting, alluring, or captivating is a strength. I understand how restfulness (restful inner beauty?) can be a strength, or solidity like a rock. To me, that’s strength. But being alluring? Captivating? Then they talk about “Why do so few wom

Keriah's Narrow Crescent Scarf

In my series Lady Wynwood’s Spies, my character Keriah is more emotional than her friend Phoebe, and so when writing about her in Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 6: Martyr , naturally I described her scarf as having more lively colors than the greens and blues that Phoebe favors. I didn’t really have a particular yarn colorway in mind when I wrote the scene, but when looking through my stash to knit her scarf, I found the Carnival colorway in Knit Picks Chroma Twist Fingering, and it was absolutely perfect for her. Chroma Twist Fingering is discontinued, but you could knit this in Chroma Fingering or any other color-transitional yarn. In the Regency era, a tri-color 3-ply yarn like Chroma Twist Fingering would probably not have been sold in shops, but it also may not have been completely unheard of. It is made by simply dying the wool rather than the finished yarn, and then the dyed wool would be split into 3 parts and each part spun into a single ply, before all three plies

Knitted Bible cover

Captain’s Log, Stardate 04.24.2007 Yup, I’m at it again. My new Bible needs a cover, and one of my youth group kids suggested I knit one. This was a great idea because I wanted a cover that was pink and fuzzy. Isn’t it awesome? I used 7 types of eyelash yarn for the stripes. I knitted the cover with one strand of eyelash yarn held together with one strand of worsted weight acrylic yarn, and I did a simple garter stitch. I made a mistake and the cover ended up too long, so I had to fold the edges over. I also made the inside sections with two strands of worsted weight yarn, but I should have used just one strand because it’s a bit bulky. However, on a whole, I’m pretty pleased with it. What do you guys think?
