Business is good, and that makes me happy. But getting to have lovely talks over tea with people such as Lady Adalyn Clement and Seren Walker make me especially elated, particularly in winter when good company is assuredly something to be treasured. I am sometimes forced indoors by work or feeling a bit weak as of late, so I must take these opportunities when I can get them. Thank you for sitting with me. You are both a delight.

...or if you're like me, go outside and hold your tongue out, let snowflakes settle on it, make snow angels, have snowball fights.
There are many reasons to enjoy the winter. I'm sure that it helps I'm from the Bonespire, but pish posh I say. How do you all enjoy such oppressive heat?

Sometimes I let my emotions overtake me. I know that there are people who would regard this as a weakness. It is not about controlling emotions so much as it is about controlling one's words. My own issue is that I tend to keep things inside. Things that should be spoken to ears which should only hear them sometimes are the last to do just that, and it's my own stubborness which allows this to happen. It is something to work on in the future.
It is a night I wish I were home in the Bonespire again, watching the snowfall while I drink spiced mead and try to figure out what is in the stars for me. My heart aches for the Bonespire more and more. I wish to take the babes but they are still so little, and only used to our weather. I wonder how much of me runs in their bones.

I hate when I spend it all the same day on things I think I need. But I did get a new gown. It's ravishing! Thanks, Alexio, Alrigo, and all the rest of the Donattis!

I slept in and then hauled the babies off for a walk. All was a peaceful, lovely day up until the City started to shake. Asher and I managed to get the little ones calm but my stomach took a good while before it calmed. We never had such events in the Bonespire. I hope this is the last one.

My open house at The Silver Lining was what I would personally consider a huge success. I never once imagined that so many people would show up. I met so many new people who were interested in what I do. I especially appreciated getting to know Baroness Margerie and Lord Kastelon. Thank you to all of you who showed up for the event, and those who have purchased from me in the past - whether it was from the shop or personally. I do so appreciate each and every one of you.

Great fighters who move like waterfalls when they strike.
Those who have special relationships with their Gods and Goddesses, who are blessed.
Nobility who could be heir to anything. Princesses with riches and armies at their disposal.
People with talents beyond measure.
Princesses with ribbons wrapped them going into legendary combat.
Scholars brilliant beyond their time.
I am none of those people. I am a daughter of the Bonespire, take it or leave it. Somedays I am barely a seamstress, leatherworker, or even a mother, it feels.

Why am I like this? Is it in my nature to be argumentative, stubborn? Do I pressure people too much for things they can't give me?
I can't run away this time.

People always ask why I do so many different kinds of crafting. To be honest, if I don't keep busy, my mind wanders. Mostly to places that it shouldn't. People talk about reflecting and opening your heart to reflections, but sometimes reflecting becomes ruminating.
With the recent howling of certain creatures in the city, my wind wanders tenaciously. We are still living at Asher's apartment in Stormwall's Haven, and I am frankly glad I was not home at the state in the Upper Burroughs when The Unkindness was... attacked? Set upon? I don't know anymore.
My nightmares only get worse. When I am awake, my mind goes to the darkest corners it has reached but not that it will reach. I feel eyes that aren't there watching me, and I feel an encroaching sense of doom with every moment that passes.
