ATCs from Christine, Julia (with a WOYWW badge!) Tracy, a 3D steampunk one from Angela (Felix the Crafty Cat), Helen and Mary Anne.
Mary Anne’s was an amazing multi-folded card:
And Tracy’s came with a lovely, inspiring card. Even the back of her envelope had a pretty label.
I found a better yarn for my Chevrons blanket.
It’s actually two, King Cole Harvest and King Cole Bramble. I’m using magic knots so I won’t have ends to deal with afterwards.
Im enjoying mixing the colours.
My novel is being typeset and we’re starting the cover design.
Here’s the back cover copy, which I spent hours over. A Sense for Silver is an intriguing mystery, setting the radiance of Paris in relief against its darker side, exploring Paris’s magic, its flavours and its diversity.
Ellyn Boswell, a young silversmith with an uncanny gift of discerning precious metals by touch, escapes to Paris after her father is reported killed in a cliff fall. Her signature Byzantine bracelets help her find work with an old jeweller in the city’s best food street, where her love of sharing food helps her make friends. She hates liars and thieves, but she has something they want. Is she being followed for her sense for silver or because of some backlash from her father’s shady dealings?

And finally.,,
We had Jehovah’s Witnesses at the door this week and should have sent Bella! I dislike other people’s religion being pushed at me.
Take care and happy WOYWW

Ooh that blurb sounds enticing Lynne. Can't wait for the book to be published. Meow to the kitties. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
ReplyDeleteMorning! It’s really lovely seeing all these beautiful ATCs arriving, Mary Anne’s was amazing in its construction. Love the new colours of the chevrons, reminds me of stones and shells at the beach. Oooh your book blurb sounds good, hope all is going well with the printing/process.

The book blurb has me hooked in Lynne. I agree re other people's religion. I'm afraid when JW's called here a couple of weeks ago I was aware they were about and ignored the doorbell. Have a great week. Anne x 15
ReplyDeleteHope you kept flipping my ATC till you arrived at the final one. Hint: BEGIN with the 14 years side... Loving the yarn combo, really lovely, and I adored your ATC as well. What to do with my elephant...? Still considering!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW, on the way to 15!

Love that your book is set in Paris! my favourite city, which I shall never visit again but have photos. I must admit it is very tempting to buy but I cannot read books . . . the old brain dontcha know . . . Shame cos I have a full set of Angelique books which I have read and reread over the years.
ReplyDeleteI have a small handbook 'questions you should ask JWs' and it gets them every time . . .. had some really stupid answers which were very much 'go away and think about it!' lol
Lovely shades in your scarf, so pleased you managed to find some suitable wool, now you will really enjoy making it up and wearing it.
Have a good week

The book sounds a must read ! How exciting. Its been such Happy mail recently. Thanks for the visit. Helen #1
ReplyDeleteI love the colours you've found, such beautiful soft shades that also coordinate with Bella perfectly! Your book sounds intriguing and the back cover is definitely drawing me in.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week,

Hi Lynne, great collection of ATCs and many thanks for your one too. I love that little elephant. It's lovely when you hear them pop through the letter box and see the lovely ideas that have been produced. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x13x
ReplyDeleteYou got a lot of nice ATCs. This is the first I've seen of MA's unfolded. Thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteYour new yarn is lovely and will make a lovely chevron blanket. I'm loving the sound of that book. I am a big mystery lover. I look forward to more details as they develop.
I loved all the funnies, but I have to agree with you on religion. That's my feeling, too. Happy WOYWW from #4.
Thanks so much for your beautiful ATC it is a little treasure . Still not much free time here but It keeps me on the go and I'm certainly fitter from all the walking to hospital to visit! Every cloud. . . x x Jo

ReplyDeleteCan we too borrow Bella - I dislike those canvassers as well.
