The Time Shepherdess

/random subject title based on a Ray Stevens song

AT ANY RATE yes I'm alive, yes I am busy, yes I ...still knit.

For those of you who knit, or are just starting, or are just thinking about starting, this is for you:

A new pattern is available on Lulu (epub file) by Cal Treves.

New hashtag word: #Hedgehoggieness ❤️ A bit of spine, indeed.

I'm a shoe designer, now. Apparently.

Share if you wish, especially if you think there's someone you know who might be interested. (I think they're kickin'.)

I know, I'm posting a bunch of cards at random.

I have my reasons.

Sheep! :D



I actually submitted the drawing (b/w photocopy, actually) to the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival in 2005 for the image contest re: 2006 book, etc.

Why a b/w photocopy? This smooth paper is BEAUTIFUL and SLEEK and... tears too easily. I would never dare send it by post.

I can now say that I have finally gotten one of my best works on a card. <3 There are a few others up, and more to come, cards and more - should time allow. There's even one up for Christmas! :D

Rude awakening this afternoon upon overhearing a phone call.

I always forget. I don't pay attention. I can't calculate time.

I say that I feel like I'm stuck in 2004 far too often. My mind stays in 2005-06: June? I feel just fine other than a few storms passing. The rest of the year and the beginning of the next, too.

February comes, and things start to get off-kilter. March, my mind wanders. April, I'm in a state of 'blah' and my work slacks off.

May is coming.

I forgot that May is coming, and I should have known better. May puts me into a mental whirlwind of emotions that I can't shake. Then June comes and I start the loop again, feeling better and forgetting I just leapt through hell.

If you don't understand the backstory I've not stated, don't worry about it. I'll just be an emotional basket case for a small amount of time.

Hopefully not long - world issues are pulling at me, I'm constantly stressed, and I creep into Subeta and my knitting for comfort. I don't want to pull anyone down with me. This is always my burden - more sleep, more inattentive behavior, more crawling up and trying to figure out where to place my next chess piece.

I know. "What does that title even *mean*?! "

I forget that I have accounts on LJ, DW, Twitter, dA, and so on. Between lack of time and lack of attention? I post on Facebook because it is just easier - I hide in Subeta because I need downtime. Everything else blurs.

I can say this: I have almost finished transferring a bit of fanfic from paper to digital. Once the last chapter is up, I'll even put an author's directory to references throughout (as there are a good handful, especially since no one knows who Jean-Marc Dumas is or where he came from or why he's with her).

Life is hard - fan fiction is harder when you're putting too much thought into it. Especially when you don't include any of the usual fan fiction main characters into the mix....


Monday, Monday

I love Subeta. I can't help it!

The roll call is in.  Do not hit me.  Asterisk denotes the fact that I was alive, just not living outside the womb 😝

EDIT:  I can't believe I forgot about Zootopia.
