I’ve had a really difficult time deciding where I wanted my liberty mountain deed to be. I have no real access to any significant ore, so I wanted a place that would be able to accommodate that. Normally I would purchase the rods that let you transform rock to ore of your choice – but that’s just not feasible unless donations come back. Instead I found this abandoned mountain deed with three remaining buildings. One of them housed a magic chest filled with goodies. I deeded the field portion, and as houses decay I’ll push the deed towards the caves. Hopefully I get a sizeable amount of rock to work my way through over time. Eventually, it will become a retreat for my priest characters.

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

Quail Plaza

Now that my main town is ‘complete’ (they’re never ever really done) I decided to move on to my next project – a shopping plaza. This giant square is surrounded by highway, and each ‘building’ is going to be a line of strip malls, decorated as shops and pubs. The plaza will be 3-15 floors high, and players will be able to enter and do a bit of shopping, as well as just go around from shop to shop looking at the decorations. I used different materials for each building so that they look like individual places instead of one giant place – and I’m very excited to see this project grow. Unfortunately it takes a lot of raw materials, but I am glad that I managed to complete the first floor. Next is building the wooden floors inside, then the ladders for the 2nd floor, and the walls that will divide the shops.

No idea when I’ll get this project completed, but it’s fun.

But today is just not that day. There’s still over four feet of snow in the backyard, and we got a fresh storm this AM that took care of the lovely chair I placed out on our once clear deck.

Ah well.

A simple 10 stitch repeat is the rest of the shawl before the bind off. I’m loving the gradient and the sparkles! Cashmere & merino, this shawl is HUGE and I hope to get a lot of use out of it. I think it would look fantastic paired with a little black dress, if we ever get through this pandemic.

Nothing as impressive as the two drake suites that I found (and subsequently sold to Olloyd so I could fund my deeds) but still not complaining – especially since I didn’t already have a rare rope tool! I just need to get Moumix to improve it for me.

A lot of people seem to keep their coins in chests instead of in the bank, so this was a nice little bit that I found in a decayed container. There are a few more decayed locations that I’d like to check out, but all of that takes time and trying to get the timing right so I get there before other pillagers. I think this week I just lucked out a bit.
