Three Things Serial: 19 – Comfortable Home, Happy Disposition, Vex

September 29, 2013

While I was browsing around the New York Times, I stumbled upon “The Janeiac Quiz.”  Since I’ve always enjoyed Jane Austen‘s books, I took the quiz — and failed miserably.  I’m sharing it because many of you enjoy those classics.  Emma is probably my favorite of Austen’s works and it is also the source of today’s Three Things.  I’ll take them … More Three Things Serial: 19 – Comfortable Home, Happy Disposition, Vex

Three Things Serial: 18 – Punctilious, Train, Diary

September 27, 2013

Provincial Lady sent three words that were very picturesque to me.  So I’ve gotten on many a tangent looking at images to go with this episode.  But that’s part of the fun. As always you can do catch-up reading on the Three Things Serial page.  I hope to get lots of fun “things” from you … More Three Things Serial: 18 – Punctilious, Train, Diary

Three Things Serial: 17 – Associate, Challenge, Reality

September 23, 2013

Mary is not just a writer — she’s a brave woman to throw me a word like “Reality.”  There’s no telling where I might go with that!  These three things took me in directions I didn’t expect, but that’s the point of this serial — to let the words all of you supply drive the plot … More Three Things Serial: 17 – Associate, Challenge, Reality

Bubbles of What-If

September 21, 2013

It’s past time I was getting organized for this year’s National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)… and I’ve not done a bit of planning.  I’ve been working so hard at trying to make life in general better, that right now I just can’t imagine expending the huge effort NaNoWriMo took last year.  I am not feeling at … More Bubbles of What-If

Three Things Serial: 16 – Microscope, Sewing Machine, Dog

September 20, 2013

I’m pleased to tell you that today’s three things are from a “science nerd turned quilter who lives near Bristol UK” – known to bloggers as Spockssister.  For the sake of this blog’s header (which is not at all cooperative with me) the things are sort of abbreviated.  However, in the serial I’m using them … More Three Things Serial: 16 – Microscope, Sewing Machine, Dog

Three Things Serial: 15 – Tattered Quilt, Memory Squares, Quilting Bee

Finally I’m posting another episode of our 1920’s serial.  These three things come from the most “crafty” lady I know — Joye in Albuquerque. Since I didn’t do a mid-week post, you might need to refresh your memory of the serial.  You can read all the episodes at the Three Things Serial page. Pip finds … More Three Things Serial: 15 – Tattered Quilt, Memory Squares, Quilting Bee

Three Things Serial: 14 – Finger Waves, Shoe Horn, Cummerbund

Today’s “things” are from an innovative thinker in Albuquerque.  I think they help bring life to the story and our characters — a glimpse of their day-to-day life. Remember, if you need to catch up, the full story lives at the Three Things Serial page. Finger Waves, Shoe Horn, Cummerbund The old fire engine roared … More Three Things Serial: 14 – Finger Waves, Shoe Horn, Cummerbund

Three Things Serial: 12 – Italy, Family, Thunderstorm

September 1, 2013

This time the story is driven by three things from Michigan.  Then next time the “things” will be from the greater DC area.  I’m delighted to have gotten two sets of three during the past week.  So I’ll use the new words in the order received.  And now, episode twelve of our little 1920’s story. 12.  Italy, Family, Thunderstorm … More Three Things Serial: 12 – Italy, Family, Thunderstorm
