More Goals

Very excited for the quilt I want to start, after finishing alll these other projects. Sean's, the mix of men's shirts (or perhaps it'll be flannel instead of dress blue) will be stunning for his birthday. I very much hope he enjoys it. And for me? A scrap / strip quilt. I think it'll be fantabulous.

Write a book.

Inspiration struck last night at 4 am. A book about a young, almost 30-year-old book editor who takes over the sale of her grandfather's house after he passes away. They've always been enormously close, and they bond over their shared love of literature, as not only was her grandfather a bestselling novelist, but he was also dearest friends with everyone from the Beat poets to J.D. Salinger. After his death, her mother goes into a deep depression, and the young book editor decides to handle the sale of the house, her grandfather's stunning sprawling Long Island dream-house. During all this, she meets a handsome young fellow on the commuter train who challenges her ideas of romance. Alas, a tragic accident befalls him, and he almost dies in the middle of their blossoming love, which in turn teaches her about death and acceptance. She sells the house and decides to write a book, inspired by her grandfather's legacy.
