So, it is party time again, folks!

[wiseheart]

Each year this time, we launch my virtual birthday party, which starts on October 1 and ends on October 9 at midnight, sharp. The goals of the party are to post as many comments and collapse as many threads as possible, on as many new pages as we can. It is always great fun, as you can see if you check out the similar entries of the last few years.

This year, I'll also throw the real party at mid-time - and post the recipes of all the food that will be there for you, so that you can all participate if you want to. Virtual food has no calories.

Fandom-related discussions are as welcome as the ones about coffee or chocolate (just to name a few favourites from previous years), and, of course, pictures and recipes of birthday cakes. ;)

So, drop by, tell your story, post your pics or silly poems, ask questions you always wanted to ask and have a good time!

Soledad, in excited expectation




Oh, and by the way, to provide birthday gifts hobbit-style, I've got a revived story and a Kansas 2 update for you.

Enjoy!

That sounds very impressive! A jacket sounds ike a very large and complicated project. Good luck! :)
I never got the hang of crocheting or knitting.

My Granny was amazing at crocheting: she made doilies of the size of bedlinens out of thin thread one could barely see, before her eyesight failed her. It was her never-ending sorrow that I could never get the hang of it, but I'm simply not made for crocheting. My hands start to sweat, and then the whole thing gets black and disgusting...

I'm not much good at knitting, either. All I ever produced were crooked scarves. Mum did a lot of knitting when she was younger, though. We were fairly poor, and she made me lovely jackets, filled with whatever leftover textiles she could find.

My maternal grandmother was a great crocheter, too! She taught me to do a single strand but I never made any progress with anything more complex.

It's loose and unstructured, not as complicated as it sounds. Since it's for me there's no deadline so there's no pressure at all :)
