    You so deserve BOTY Debut author Award! You are good writer who should long be on the published books list.

    I remember well the very first time I met you at an ACFW conference and you told me your "pitch". I said to myself,"That's one I'd buy!"

    Congrats.

    I was yelling my head off. Of course, more than half the crowd was so you probably didn't hear me. Or couldn't over the wedding music. ;-)

    Then I came home to Single Sashimi!!

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

In my newsletter this month, I link to my blog post about the noble titles in my Lady Wynwood’s Spies series, including Lady Wynwood’s title and that of Lady Aymer and Mr. Ackett’s father, Lord Ammler. I also posted a link to my “Ghetto Gongfu” blog post, which is for beginners who might want to try gongfu tea brewing but don’t want to spend a lot of money on equipment.
