Ten themes

I've been writing some Charlie/Hermione over the last few days, partly for fun and partly as an exercise in trying to say much in few words.  I've taken the prompts from 10_themes and used them, in order, adhering strictly to a 100 word limit for each, to form the beginning of a story.  I'm also following a strict POV pattern, as a way of showing their developing relationship.  I wonder if that's working at all!

Anyway, if you're looking for a little escapist fun, the links are here.

Part One: In which the invalids are taken to The Burrow
Part Two: In which Charlie and Hermione spend time together, more or less reluctantly.

Picspam from my productive day

I got lots of real work done yesterday so I took today off, in honour of the new sewing machine.

First up: I finally got round to lining and finishing my felted bag. I LOVE this bag SO MUCH!!!





These I actually made a couple of nights ago as a test run. My old flatmate brought me this silk back from a recent trip to Thailand. I'd been needing some coasters so, voila!

Now, behind the cut are some minor spoilers for Pay It Forward. I'm not telling what these are nor who they're for but if you still don't want to look, that's okay too.
