7 Quick Takes Friday

-
My dear friend Jansina release her third book As Fairydust Settles last week! Though I haven't had the chance to read it yet I'm sure it will be as good as her other books (Forgotten Memories and Shrouded Jewels). If you want to buy a copy of the book as an Ebook, paperback, hardcover, and hard cover with dust jacket you can go here for the price information as well as contact information :)
I found this on Pinterest on Monday.

Even though it has been a few weeks since the end of November and NaNo I did manage to reach 50,000 words with one day to spare. Though I am not finished yet with the story I was writing it still needs a bit of work. If I ever get around to finishing it and editing it I will let you all know if I decide that I want to publish it or not.
This is another one of those weeks where I have a hard time coming up with things to write about for my quick takes. So I will have to start thinking of new ideas to do each week instead of posting pictures all the time, though I don't think anyone minds.
Amanda posted this to one of her boards on Pinterest :)

This is another Pinterest find and according to the caption it is the wordless version of the Japanese poster for "Frozen."


As I mentioned a while a go I am knitting a blanket. I started making it back in October and have been slowly working on it. The other day as I was working on it and decided that I wanted to use a different pattern for the blanket. So I found a different one online and it is going a lot faster than the other pattern was. What I have so far looks really nice and I like how it is turning out. You can find the pattern that I am using for the blanket here. When I get the chance I will post a picture or too :)

The Other Side of Modesty

When we hear the word modesty, the first thing that comes to mind is clothing that covers everything or the majority of your body. Dressing modestly is something I have grown up with and have been around my entire life. And it can be considered a "hot topic" regarding what girls and women wear. Especially when it comes to places like schools and the workplace. But most people don't realize that modesty isn't just about what you wear; it is also about how you act around others and toward yourself.  Photo by Amanda Canas on Unsplash I am talking about this because I read an article on my Facebook feed the other day about a father who posted a picture with his two daughters in their homecoming dresses. And it was talking about his response to the people commenting on the style of the dresses. I don't remember the article's name, but I do know that it mentioned "girls to dress, so they don't distract boys," as well as saying that they are "aski...

--- 1 --- The other day I was feeling a bit bored so I made a couple covers for the story that I started working on. --- 2 --- A couple of weeks ago I was looking up pictures of the minons from "Despicable Me", don't remember why, but while I was scrolling down the page I came across this minion picture: --- 3 --- I found this on Pinterest a while back... --- 4 --- On Sunday we had to shovel snow off the driveway. It was really cold out and it made my stomach kind of hurt a little bit afterwards. The only bright side, besides being able to come inside and warm up, was getting hot chocolate. --- 5 --- Since I couldn't think of anything else to write for this one I decided to share the first couple sentences of what I have written so far of my story let me know how you like it :) Standing under the only low-lit street lamp Xiomara looked both ways at the quiet street lit only by the light of the street lamps. Sighing to herself...
