Windflower Fields: Christmas Week and Bonus Posts!
Good morning!
First to note, some of you will be receiving gift comps from me on Thursday! I will be giving out four full comps, a few three-month comps, and a few three-week comps. These will be going to some of my best readers, according to their activity and to my Substack dashboard.
I’m planning to add a chat feature after Christmas, which will be for paid subscribers/ comps only. They will have earlier access to some posts, and be able to help me choose fashion projects before I send polls out to the rest of my subscribers! There may be bonus posts, as well.
Next on the list, you will see a couple of bonus posts this week. Tomorrow, Christmas Eve, I will be sending out a recipe I created for the Zorrastran Hot Chocolate from the Christmas chapter of Ransom: Shards of Crystal. I, for one, require hot chocolate in space.
On Christmas Day, you’ll see a surprise short story that is my contribution to the Christmas Fiction Gift Exchange being run by
! It’s basically Substack Secret Santa, or Kringle, as we called it in my family, only I’ve been given the name of a writer to write for. I’ll be sending it out at 5 am EST on Christmas morning.Sewing posts are coming later this week and early next. I’ll post about my Christmas dress on Saturday, then on Monday or Tuesday, the Grace Kelly. It was derailed again for various reasons, including my last-minute decision to swap out the lining and buy a more structured fabric. I picked up some broadcloth on clearance from Hobby Lobby for this purpose, so I’ll be redoing most of my work on the bodice. On the plus side, I shouldn’t have to hand-sew everything the way I needed to with the knit lining, so it should be much quicker the second time.
Regarding all of my posts this December, please note that I am postponing paywalling all the fiction until January 7th, to help give everyone time to catch up with the busy season. The sewing posts will be paywalled in the usual 2 weeks’ time.
Lastly, either on the 31st or the 2nd of January, I’ll update you on my plans for 2025!
Thank you for reading!
