As much as I love the new version of Eve's Temptation -- and I do love it -- I want to finish the original as well. So I am sharing the love between them, working a bit on each one each day.

Don't you just love those little beaded picot bits? They just delight me. As you can see I haven't gotten far into the second half.
And Eve II -- well, I will place the large bead for the apple today --

The green is so dark it is hard to show you the detail. I hope you get the idea from this.
In other news, I think I became a real writer this week as I got my first rejection notice. I have a fairy tale I wrote and after much delay and avoidance, I submitted to the Fairy Tale Review. I rather doubted they would accept it because it is fairly long and psychological. But it was important for me to at least submit it. I'm thinking I will make it available as a .pdf download to anyone who wants to read it.
These fall mornings continue to be spectacular. Yesterday was especially lovely -
That blush of pink was the only bit of sun all day.
The beads for the apples just arrived -- back to work I go!
