This is the hat that I referred to in my previous post. I’m not sure if the link to Instagram works, so this is a screenshot of the original post. The pattern is Love a Duck, available from my Ravelry store ( link in bio) and the yarn is from blackcheviot.com

I’m thrilled to get this wonderful write up from #schoppelwolle for my sock knitting pattern Paddy’s Rocky Road. Screenshots from Fb as I’m not sure how to share on here, but links in bio. Crazy Zauberball is 👌for colorwork with the right contrast yarn! #knitsky #crazyzauberball #greyhoundrescue

I have not-great news. I am headed back to the querying trenches. It makes me sad for me, of course, but also for the state of middle grade overall. With that said, if you’re an agent actively seeking middle grade stories, please do let me know. Some tidbits about my completed manuscripts: 👇

A day at the beach is always better with friends! Gabriella’s illustration captures the joy of splashing around and adventuring with friends.

There’s nothing like floating in the ocean when it’s this hot out. This illustration by Emily Chibwana captures the joy of a beach day perfectly. emilychibwana.com/

Mermaids may not be real, but the magic of being on the water in warm weather is, and Carolyn captures both in her imaginative illustration.

Your entire life will change the moment you stop worrying about what others are doing and start focusing on what you’re doing. ~ Sahil Bloom

One of the stupidest things about making art in a hyper capitalist society is how success is hopelessly tied to fame and fortune when in reality just having an idea and bringing it to life is a huge damn victory. The only real way to lose is to give up.

I was talking with a close friend last night about the darkest period of my life and I'd just like to tell you what I wish someone had told me then -- Not selling a lot of comics or books and not making much money doesn't mean you've failed. Not making more comics or books means you've failed.

Take a look at my #illustrations on HOLIDAY #greetingcards #bsnm www.greetingcarduniverse.com/dianascards

It's hard to believe today is the 40th Anniversary of Live Aid. I still have my all-access pass hanging next to my desk. (That's me in the white T-shirt and white MTV cap. It was so HOT!)

My favourite cushion that I knit from yarn I spun myself. Pattern is Om Elephant, my own design available from my Ravelry store. #knitsky #knittingpattern #ravelry #strandedcolorwork #elephant #knittedcushion #handspunyarn
