My novels are under another name and I've taken down my site after it was hijacked. Grrrr. But one day soon, I'll return to that fun sort of work and get back on track! Your great homepage is an inspiration to me. n.kateus.

I have ordered the Life Journal now :). I was Moongold at Aeclectic. I'm doing some serious journalling at present, both tarot related and otherwise. I'd like to write poetry, just for myself really, althought friends say the aim should be publication. I doubt that I will ever be that good. Nice to "see" you again, and all the best.

Yes, I did---in fact I've made several tatted bookmarks over the years. I used to try to sell them, but as you might know handwork isn't the most appreciated thing except by those who actually do it themselves--and they tend to simply---do it themselves. :) I'm sort of obsessed with lace in my handwork these days, fantasizing about an old architectural design---the window over the side entrance of Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland. It incorporates a solar cross, four hearts and fleur de lis. I'd like to figure out how to knit it into a lace shawl. It's haunting me, and I've done a few drawings. Now I'm flirting with how to interpret it via the knitted stitch. I may be way too ambitious for my own good. I find needlework makes a terrific complement to writing. Both are creative, but so different that each is a mini-vacation from the other and I never feel burned out by either, if I engage in both at least a little each day. My novel <em>Shadows Fall</em> incorporates needlework (mainly knitting) in a limited way as background. My current work will, too, if not in the first book of the series, then the second. I can't help this, since needlework has been as big a part of my life as breathing ever since I was a kid. It's soooo relaxing! Welcome, Polly!

My family has learned to trade our books in to get more from a local bookstore. This allows other people to read it, people who might not be able to afford the book new. My mom, when she was alive, had been known to come home from the used book store with 7 or 8 grocery bags full of books. Once a bookworm, always a book worm. BTW, Barbara, I am one of the owners of Grouchy's Libertopia. I wanted to stop by and thank you for visitings our site. We have added a link to your site on our page. I hope that you and your readers have enjoyed what they see. Reading, one of the best pleasures in life. My family has learned to trade our books in to get more from a local bookstore.

But there are a lot worse things to have too much of, aren't there? :) Thanks so much for your comments. I'm enjoying checking out your weblogs as well.

I live in a big house(too big actually), and there still isn't enough room for my books. Cas I think this book thing is a problem to lots of people.
