cocoajava: Sassy (pic#128381)
(for those tuning in late, we moved in late February, and have been doing a lot of landscaping and home decor work ever since. For the first time in my life, I have a room of my very own that is not a bedroom. It's exciting!)

The GirlCave is coming along. Yesterday my chaise arrived! Of course, I have to share it with Chives.




I still have a lot of blank wall space, and a stack of plastic bins that need to be elsewhere but just haven't been 'elsed' yet, so you don't get full-room pics as it's just not shareworthy yet. But here's a few teasers. There were three plain wood shelves on the wall, attached with utilitarian metal supports and brackets. Looked awful, so I attacked them with LACE.


And the most important spot in the room, where the writing happens, is quite pleasant, especially on days like today when I can have one or both windows open.

Hey look, I remembered I had a journal! Do I get a cookie?

It's a busy day, much to do! But it's overcast, warm and softly drizzling, which is very relaxing. And there will be fun scattered throughout the day. In Second Life, my book club is discussing Nine Princes In Amber and directly after that there's a salon on the topic of "Royal Ascot: the races, the fashions, the betting and the more nefarious, hidden side". Later on tonight at 7pm, I'll be sniffling as Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus performs one last time and then vanishes into the midsts of history. 

In other news, Voice Actor Lisa Hicks has produced an absolutely charming audio version of one of my short stories - actually, my favorite of my steampunk kids stories, The Steamkettle Kids Save The Day. I just pushed the "Approve" button and now It's being reviewed by ACX/Audible, and should be available to the public in a week or two. I'm excited about this - Lisa has *such* a charming voice for children's books.

If you are willing to post a review at Amazon (or anywhere else you frequent) and are interested in receiving a free review copy, just leave a comment here or drop me an email. When the freebie codes are available in a few weeks, I will send you one.

Now off I go to moosh henna into my hair and give Chives a treat. He's being a good boy.
