I did get the 46 squares sewn together into two strips and attached, one to each end, of the seasonal palette thing and the whole re-pressed and back on the wall. Took much longer than it should have and for that I’m blaming the bug I’ve been kicking around with the past few days. I was cheered to find three great movies on yesterday. Yes three. That’s how long it took me to do that stupid little bit of work although it takes longer to do small amounts of piecing than bigger amounts.
Anyway. I think the additions are not noticeable which makes them successful. Odds are they’ll get lopped off but we’ll see at the end. So it’s time to think about thread colors and pull some yellows for the flowery bits and go from there. I hope to have a block of vacation time soon and that’s my plan for getting the next big push done.
On the writing front, I’m pushing on little by little in part 3. It started as a mushy place to look around and see what the protagonist was learning about his new life. I worried about the romantic possibilities and set that on a slower, long-term path. I mainly worried about this thing that had loomed up as a possible cause of the woes in part two and then vanished as other more readily captured villains were discovered.
Feels a lot like the mushy spot that happened before the plot pushed on last time. Needed some thought and a little pencil and paper work to determine the direction and motivations and then it fell into place. Hopefully that will happen soon. I’m waiting to see how it really ends.
In the meantime it’s got me doing some mighty arcane research about royal households and advisors and other whatnots.
