Still not resting on the 7th day

[wiseheart]

I've finished the inside of the front cover for the new baby book.










It is basically a 3-piece card that turned out well enough. Save for the little rectangular box that isn't rectangular at all, but I decided to keep it anyway, for the sake of the pretty paper. I hope the recipients won't mind.

Then I cooked for two days in advance - I had some grated zucchini and some chicken breast in the freezer, so I made a drastically simplified version of Mary Berry's Panang fried chicken... without celery or tomatoes, but Mum liked it nonetheless.

After that, we packed for tomorrow's cleaning frenzy, and I took down my Easter wall decoration. I originally planned to keep it up until the regularly scheduled cleaning, but my festive feelings have gone out of the window when I learned that the slave labour will have to take place a week earlier.

I also realized that I never actually posted Chapters 15 and 16 of "The Book of Mazarbul" to SoA (although I did post them to AO3 and FF.Net), so I rectified the oversight by putting up Chapter 15. I'll add Chapter 16 later, in the hope that there are people who still remember that story. *rueful grin*

Looks nice.

Thank you! :)

The card looks so pretty. I'm sure the recipient will love filling it in and keeping it.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Let's hope so. Actually, it looks somewhat better in life, but still lopsided.

That is gorgeous!

Thank you so much! :)

I think I will have to start reading your fanfic!

Oh, you are most welcome! I hope the outrageous grammar and the sometimes purple prose won't offend you. ;))

Which box isn't rectangular?
It's nice. :-)

The "little bundle of joy" one is so lopsided my eyes bleed when I look at it. :(

I hurried to look on A03 to see if I had read those or not, but I've read through chapter 19. I do love that story, but am willing to be patient ;0) Love the baby book card!

The sad truth is, I've had Chapter 20 half-written (9 entire pages!) for years... I just couldn't move on with it.

[mirasaui.livejournal.com]

Oh, I am confused. I looked on A03 at "The Book of Mazarbul" and it shows 19 chapters posted, although the last (A03 chapter 19) is Titled Chapter 15 - The Wanderers. Does that mean you have NOT posted chapter 16 to both SoA and A03? I mean, is there a chapter I've yet to read? Hope so, lol.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

No, "The Wanderers" is actually the last finished chapter. The numbers are different because I've posted Chapter 3 — The Road Goes Ever On in 3 parts, as it got so very long. AO3 doesn't do chapters 3a, 3b and so on... and I've forgotten that the numbers won't match. So, correction:Chapter 17 will be coming on... eventually.
