LOOK AT THESE GORGEOUS FINGERLESS MITTS @eddis-not-eeddis MADE FOR ME! The pictures wash the color out, but in person, they’re a pretty turquoise. They are oh-so comfy and love ‘em to bits!

Her songs are of the Folk Ballad variety, so if that’s not your cuppa tea, you might not be too enthused. But I do encourage you to give her a listen.

This lady’s voice is wistful and haunting or ethereal and rousing, and her tunes are the sort that really make you believe that bards have some kind of magic power imbued in their music. She is definitely a leftover bard of old. Probably. Either that or a fae who has chosen to drift among us mortals.

You’ve got traditional folk songs, like She Moved Through the Fair

or The Stolen Child

or Down by the Sally Gardens

And then she’s written her own melodies set to poems, such as The Highwayman

or The Lady of Shallot

Fave Color: it’s been edging more towards the green side of blue/green lately

Currently Reading: Prince Caspian (reread) Chesterton’s Gateway (TSE read along) Between Homes (City Between, book 5, yes I’m rereading already, but this time I’m reading not listening. It’s a different experience!)

Last song: Volcanic Jig by Natalie MacMaster

Last series watched or finished: Umm…

Last movie: ummmmmm……

Sweet/Spicy/Savory: Sweet! Then savory. Spicy is a distant third.

Fave food: about anything with chicken, pasta, and or Pecorino Romano, preferably all three (thank God for sheep’s milk cheeses). Unless we’re including desserts, (see previous question about my preferences) and then I’m all for brownies with (non dairy) caramel.

Song stuck in my head: Dulaman

Last thing I googled: slouching pose reference. (Couldn’t find the specific slouch I wanted for a Kiro sketch but there were some good ones!)

Time: for coffee

Dream vacation: “I want to see mountains again, Gandalf, mountains, and then find somewhere where I can rest.”

Currently working on: edits for Chapter Seven (still,) knitting a summer top, hand sewing a button down shirt, and beginning a tunic which I will probably machine sew. Also the aforementioned Kiro sketch.
