No Camy: Not blogging today. I'm doing work. Have fun talking about me behind my back.

Snickers is cute when she's sleeping. Too bad she's such a butthead when she's awake.

Well, I haven't been blogging for most of the week either. Lost a Word file on Monday (I know I saved it but didn't put it in any particular folder--that'll teach me) but I was pretty well out of my head with pain in my right arm from fingertips to back.

Then I tried to install my new printer which also turned out to be a disaster with me hanging on the phone to the techs for over 3 hours in all and still not being able to use all the functions, especially the one I need most: scanning. So I've mainly been trying to get rid of the pain since then. As soon as I type too much, it flares up badly again. The document was about 15 pages long. I do *not* fancy retyping it all.

Anyone with any ideas on how to track this is welcome to have their say. I've looked up all the *.doc files, and the beginning of the name of the document followed by *. One of my brothers suggested I try *.doc* in case it's doc1 or whatever. I haven't had the heart to do that yet. I hate to face the fact that I just might have to do it all again. At the moment, uncertainty is bliss.

With a few twists, the word verification could be the German word for "onion".

You're right she is very cute. How old is she? Any hope she'll improve on being a "butthead"? But even at that you love her, right?

Hope your writings going very well.

Hope your *writing's* going very well.

I've really been writing a lot of gibberish lately--"noggle" instead of "nodded"? Maybe my mind is finally going completely on me.

Oh, I got Marta's books on Thursday. I'm having trouble getting her site in order to thank her. I'll try again in a minute.
as if we would talk behind your back??? as if!

seeing as you're one of my favorite people, likely the only thing that would be said while you aren't around is how freaking awesome you are.

Love you!
Awww, she's a cutey even when she's awake. LOL! Poor puppy...mommy's picking on you again. Go lick her, Snickers! Show her how cute you are!

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...

Mansfield Park (BBC 1986)

Captain’s Log, Supplemental Blog book giveaway: To enter, go to the blog links below and post a comment there. Valley of Betrayal by Tricia Goyer It Happens Every Spring by Gary Chapman and Catherine Palmer Jane Austen miniseries I love Jane Austen. She’s my favorite classic writer, and I even bought audiobooks of her novels and listen to them again and again. I also love Amazon.com and visit my Gold Box every day (not that I buy that often). One day I had a deal for the entire set of DVDs of miniseries produced by BBC of Jane Austen’s novels. No, I didn’t buy the set—but it made me curious, and so I put the miniseries on my Netflix queue. The miniseries are all rather old. I just finished Mansfield Park . I’m quite divided on it. Costumes: score 4. They were mostly really rather nice, appropriate to the character’s background and income, and not too flamboyant, although there were several places the women’s headgear was just way over the top. Acting: score 4. I l...

How to Start the Lady Wynwood’s Spies Series (with Free Prequels & Bonus Extras)

New to Lady Wynwood’s Spies? Start Here I’m a fan of both Pride and Prejudice and Mission: Impossible , and I loved the idea of noblewomen working as undercover agents, so I wrote this Christian Regency romantic suspense series for readers just like me. Lady Wynwood’s Spies is a multi-volume adventure filled with faith, suspense, and romance. Unlike many historical romances that stand alone, each volume continues a larger story, pulling you further into the same grand conspiracy. Along the way, the series draws you deeper into the characters’ struggles and triumphs, giving you a richer, more immersive experience. If you love stories where you don’t have to say goodbye to the characters after just one book, this series was written for you. Below is your complete reader guide to the books, prequels, bonus content, and behind-the-scenes extras. Whether you’re just curious or ready to dive in, this roadmap will help you find the perfect place to start. ✨ Lady Wynwood’s Spies Reader...

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...
