bits of life: funny, foody, rainy, quilty

15 Things Worth Knowing About Coffee: exactly what it says on the packet.

Schadenfreude pie recipe: it would probably kill you from the sweet. But I really want to try to make this sometime. (Would have to find Australian versions of things like the molasses.)

Disney Princess mash-up

Black bean beef roast. Made it last night for dinner. Have leftovers for at least another two meals - three if I don't eat too much. Come over someday and I shall make it for you and your tastebuds shall REJOICE like great rejoicing things. I promise!

I want honey snaps. Arnotts biscuit company stopped making them in the mid-90s and I've never yet tried to make them instead. Hoooooney Snaaaaaps.

It has rained like crazy here these last few days. I'm a bit worried about the driveway gutter at home - it needs clearing out, but there's never time. Or energy. Except now there's rain. "My roof never leaks when it doesn't rain," anyone?

...someone sit on me before I buy any more fabric. My current weakness is Amy Butler's Soul Blossoms series, which is so bright and happy and beautiful and irresistable, except I really must resist for the sake of the five boxes of fabric I already have!

I have the fabrics picked out for the Supernova quilt-along at Freshly Pieced, too. And I think I've fixed up the Sanctuary quilt issues. Except that I've run out of fabric and had to order more. (See? Five boxes of fabric.) And it will be a very busy quilt, visually.

Sel's Rule #1 of Kaleidoscope quilting: don't use fabrics with busy patterns.

In the meantime, I'm trying to sew as many blocks together so I can arrange them, photograph them, and put them away in prep for the Supernova quilt-along.

Letter To Remixer

Dear Remixer,

Whatever fandom you're writing in, I should have a reasonable spread of stories to make finding a character and/or a pairing you like not too much of an effort. The tricksy part is that my fic is scattered everywhere, doubled up in some places but not in others, and generally all over the shop.

Your best bet is LiveJournal - either seldear or tielan - which is where I've posted everything fannish that I've ever written.

tielan should have SGA, Merlin, and Sanctuary, with some Firefly.
seldear will have BSG, most Firefly, and some SGA.

If you want to write other eligible fandoms, I have Justice League, Buffy, Angel, and Harry Potter on seldear, too. I'll try to catch up on my AO3 updating to make it easier for you to find, but I've written a lot in the last 10 years.

Otherwise, as my tags suggest, I'm hoping for something with my favourite female characters in your remix being awesome. Other than that, go wild!
