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

One Thousand Gifts-24

Captain’s Log, Stardate 12.11.2006

I’m participating in the “One Thousand Gifts” list from Christian Women Online. Click on the picture to find out more about it.

601. Heather moves tomorrow!
602. I remembered to replace the battery in my guitar pickup.
603. We got some shopping done today for the Christmas truffles we’re going to make.
604. My parents told me what to get for my relatives for Christmas, so now I don’t have to rack my brains trying to come up with something.
605. The baptism yesterday was really nice even though I didn’t know when I was supposed to walk up and read Emily’s testimony, because I expected the pastor to SAY SOMETHING like “This is Emily,” or “Camy’s going to read Emily’s testimony.”
606. Had a great lunch of ¾ of a Trader Joe’s mini portabella mushroom and roasted garlic pizza. Yummy! Plus it was low fat, and I only ate part of it.
607. Got some cool wines at Trader Joe’s that were only $2 each! I love living in northern California. All the local wines are so inexpensive but rather decent.
608. I had so much fun writing the K-dramas into my manuscript. My mom’s friends in Hawaii who are all hooked onto the K-dramas will be so tickled, although that’s assuming they even read my book.
609. Mom laughed at the name of my fictional assisted living facility, Katsu Towers. Katsu is Japanese for breaded fried chop, usually pork (tonkatsu) or chicken (chicken katsu).
610. My scarf is getting longer and longer.
611. I exercised yesterday!
612. I discovered I don’t need to put in my contacts just to exercise. I’ve done Denise Austin so much by now that I can just take off my glasses and do it half-blind, then put my glasses back on afterwards.
613. I used up the old Portuguese sausage in the freezer by making fried rice. More room in the icebox!
614. The fried rice turned out really good! My dad would be proud. His fried rice was always good.
615. I ate lots of veggies yesterday, and I used a 1:1 mix of white rice and brown rice for the fried rice, so it was a little healthier
616. I worked on my scarf while watching CSI Miami
617. The CAN You’ve Got Books! excerpt e-mail loop is featuring Monday Morning Faith by Lori Copeland this week. I’m excited because I’ve been wanting to read this book.
618. Deadlock by James Scott Bell is the excerpt of the week for the Zondervan Book Club. It looks like an exciting legal thriller.
619. As a member of the Zondervan Book Club (and it’s totally free, people), I got a chance to vote on Lori Copeland’s upcoming book cover! How neat is that!
620. I got a DVD about the making of The Bible Experience, a new audio recording of the New Testament from Zondervan. Hey, how cool if Z gave a copy of that for one of my website contests? Hmm...
621. I’ve been writing down what I eat. I stopped for a while, but now I’m doing it again and it’s been very enlightening about the amount of calories I actually consume in a day. My calorie count has gone up. Gotta cut back.
622. Robin gave me recipes yesterday for a corn casserole and a cornbread dressing that are both artery cloggers but probably taste like heaven.
623. One great thing about standing at my desk is that I can do little exercises while I’m thinking.
624. I’m on day 25 of my Bible in 90 Days. I know why Chronicles had to open with the genealogies of the tribes, but man is it kind of boring. I guess it was not boring for them—it might have even been kind of exciting to hear the genealogy of your family all the way back to the clan founder.
625. My mom gave us a silk-filled comforter from China that’s supposed to be really warm. We’ll try it tonight.

Grace Livingston Hill romances free on Google Books

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

Romans 15:13

Romans 15:13 Dear Lord, Thank you that you are the God of hope. Thank you that I can trust in you and hope for something better because you are in control of everything around me. Help me to be filled with your joy as I focus on you to sustain me in the midst of trials. Let your power flow into me to make me strong in my faith and in my hope in you. Amen ローマ15:13 親愛なる主よ、 あなたが希望の神であることを感謝します。あなたは私の周りのすべてを支配しておられるので、私はあなたを信頼し、より良いものを望むことができることを感謝します。試練の中にある私を支えてくださるあなたに集中し、あなたの喜びで満たされるように助けてください。あなたの力が私の中に流れ込み、私の信仰とあなたへの希望を強くしてください。 アーメン

What are you reading?

What I’m reading: If the Villainess and Villain Met and Fell in Love (Light Novel), Vol. 1 by Harunadon SOMETIMES FIRE AND ICE ARE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER. Brigitte Meidell belongs to a noble family, which means high expectations were placed upon her spirit contract. However, her bonded spirit turned out to be a weak no-name, and ever since, she has been a source of shame to her family. She thought her engagement to the prince would turn her life around, but when he publicly breaks off their relationship, she finds herself alone again. After her haughty, villainous behavior as the prince’s bride-to-be, no one shows her much sympathy―except for the duke’s son Yuri, who attends the same magic academy. Yuri is feared for his incredible abilities and icy personality, but with him on her side, her fortunes might have changed... I read this book last month but forgot to post about it. I absolutely love this series! The heroine has such a deep backstory and a plausible reason for her previ

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

What are you making today?

Look! Look! This is the blank journal that I’ll be offering in my upcoming Kickstarter ! It’s a fabric and knitted lace journal cover slipped onto a Levengers Stanley Journal refill. I had a lady at my church make the fabric cover. I knit the lace panel and sewed it on the fabric so you can see the color underneath. The lace pattern is the same as the lace shawl worn by my character Lena in my upcoming book, Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7: Spinster . It’s based on an antique pattern that isn’t quite from the Regency era—maybe 10 or 15 years later—but I felt it was close enough, plus it’s so pretty! I loved knitting this! What are you crafting today? Comment below!

Happy Boys' Day!

I realize for most of the world it’s Cinco de Mayo, but in my house it’s Boys’ Day! Fly carp flags and eat mochi!
