It’s a very stormy, overcast kind of day at the Castle as I write this post. It wouldn’t take much to make me think of books I love, but doesn’t a day that makes you stay inside just make you want to read? A few years ago, I read the Phantom of the Opera. While I had seen the Emmy Rossum movie adaptation, I had never read the book, so I didn’t know what to expect going into it, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was fantastic, and a real page-turner! While I do have that book as a paper-back, I’m really enjoying reading with my Kindle. I can stay up late (as late as I can before I fall asleep face first into my pillow) and hear the owls hooting or the traffic driving past my window in the distance. If the weather stays as dark and gloomy as the weatherman says it will, then I foresee reading to the sound of thunder and rain as well. What’s not to like about that?
It would be absolutely unacceptable if I mentioned the Phantom of the Opera without leaving this clip: |
Now that I’ve made you want to watch that movie, we’ll move on to my WIP update. There was a moment of terror when I started stitching on this after my last blog post; I couldn’t find the next pages in the chart. However, I found them eventually so there’s a happy ending to that short tale!
First off, that motif that I forgot last time is done. Next up, I’ve started working on the next band. It’s the phoenix band! There will be two phoenix (phoenixes?) and a phoenix egg as well. Exciting stuff! It would look really cool if I stitched the phoenix egg with Kreinik… we’ll see.
