![]() ![]() Another nice - and quintessentially Martha Stewart - touch is the CD booklet, which includes helpful decoration tips and a recipe for caramel apples. This disc is all about ambience, however, which it definitely provides. Perhaps a second volume of Spooky Scary Sounds for Halloween could provide more varied sounds in a more accessible format. The only drawback is that it's one long track of sound effects - you can't really cue up a specific spooky sound quickly. And while Stewart isn't usually a name you'd associate with the scariest of holidays, this album of telltale heartbeats, mad cackling, growling dogs, rattling chains, chiming clocks, and eerie atmospheres is surprisingly good at creating just the right creepy mood. ![]() ![]() With Martha Stewart Living: Spooky Scary Sounds for Halloween, the lifestyle guru uses her legendary good taste and attention to detail to create a sound effects collection designed to scare the costumes off trick or treaters and Halloween partygoers. ![]()

Cheryl’s inner world is often pushed to the very edges of weirdness. The language and details July chooses to illustrate Cheryl and her desires are the witty, absurd kind that make July’s perspective so unique. I made a shocked face that was too extreme and quickly ratcheted it down to baffled surprise. ![]() There’s comedy in how earnestly Cheryl tries to be wanted: when Philip invites her over for dinner (the sixty year old man has a confession he’s been wanting to make to Cheryl), she puts on “the pin striped dress shirt again and a very small amount of taupe eye shadow.” Inside Philip’s home, he touches Cheryl’s arm: The novel propels on a series of desires: first, it’s the possible romantic interest of Philip, a prominent donor to the self defense organization. ![]() A single woman in Los Angeles, she works from home for a self defense aerobics course, the owners of which she has labored for for twenty years.

The influence by African-American thinkers and ministers in Pentecostalism, for example, is immense. The book is vital: American Evangelicalism and Pentecostalism is heavily African-American. ![]() Anyabwile sketches what the subtitle to the book calls a decline “from Biblical faith to cultural compromise.” Just as Reformed Christians have been here from the start, so have African-American Christians. This is an admirably readable history: scholarly without academic jargon. As Mark Noll points out in the introduction to the book, the clear perspective gives the book focus and so allows much work to get done in a short space. Anyabwile is a Reformed Christian, very much so, and he sketches a history of African American theology from that perspective in The Decline of African American Theology. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It tells the story of Fifty Shades Freed from Christian Greys perspective like the previous two novels in this series. ![]() Freed: Fifty Shades Freed As Told By Christian is the sixth book in the Fifty Shades series by E.

They are centuries divorced from the historical era that produced the original outlaws. The stories of Robin Hood we know today are the products of 16th to 19th century literary and poetic traditions. The world that gave rise to the hero lies in the tumultuous political landscape of thirteenth-century England. The legend of Robin Hood swims with historical figures and folk heroes, but the reality of Robin remains contested. A resistance leader, constantly pursued by the notorious Sheriff of Nottingham, Robin Hood outwitted elites and righteously defended the oppressed. ![]() Myth, Legend, or Reality?Īs with so many figures who span myth and history, the origins of Robin Hood are rooted in a period of dynamic political unrest and cultural change. ![]() ![]() He is a man wronged, righteous, and driven by a moral code higher than the law.

Robin Hood is one of the most popular medieval literary figures in modern storytelling. ![]() ![]() ![]() I began the first book by gathering together the original group of toys chosen for their varying appearance and character. ![]() That book was to be ‘Old Bear’ and Caroline and I worked together on this and subsequent Old Bear books (and the TV stories) for the next 25 years. The next day I asked Caroline if I could write the story and she seemed pleased with the idea. Then you can put in the story what you want to draw.” He said in his usual gruff manner, ”Write it yourself. One day I happened to bump into Raymond Briggs (one of our tutors when we were at college in Brighton) and I told him about my possible book. Someone else was to write the story but, after many months, no story had appeared. I followed my own advice and, as the house was full of toys at the time, that’s what I drew (my very first toy drawing happened to be Bramwell Brown). I drew some of the old toys as commissions and some just for fun and soon greetings cards were produced from some of my drawings.īy chance, Caroline Roberts, an editor at the publisher, Hutchinsons, saw one of my greetings cards and asked me to illustrate a picture book. I had always told my GCSE and A level art students that it didn’t matter what they drew – just to grab the first thing that came to hand and draw. ![]() Back in 1980 when I left teaching to have my first child, I began to spend any spare time I had, drawing. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() then a few yrs ago a failing roof ruined many of my things. I went crazy searching for plans then found them or similar to it but of course by time I bought all needed to make the tree it was selling At Grandin Road :-)). her ideas were always an inspiration especially when my children where younger (blk Cut out tree )she once aired on her show that her friend had made for her fell in love. I have been buying or recreating (not as well as she) but her products forever. I ordered the Orbs last year but my order came without them. Hi does anyone know if Martha Stewart sells any of her products anywhere besides HDC like items listed here. Hi Andrew, amazing and spooky products and ideas. I really wish Martha had been on the cover in a new costume. It's a recycled image from an early 2000s issue of MSL. When she pointed to the magazine with a toddler on the cover that was indeed sitting on the front row, I was a little surprised. ![]() Why was Martha not on the cover of the Halloween issue this year? I went into Barnes & Noble to buy it and literally spent 5 minutes looking for the issue. ![]() ![]() Shep is my friend and tenant farmer, no, we’re not in a relationship, that would feel super weird and would end in murder. ![]() Waiting until I’ve forgotten the details and then maybe. Yes, I hope to someday finish Nameless Sheep, but I did the stupid thing and wrote out the plot so then I knew how it ended and lost interest. No, I don’t have any more Dragonbreath/Hamster Princess/Castle Hangnail/Nurk books currently planned, the publisher didn’t buy more. Judith is increasingly looking aroace, so that last one, if it’s a romance at all, may be deeply peculiar. Yes, there will hopefully be a sequel to SWORDHEART but I was trying to write it just as the pandemic hit and it stalled hard, but it’s not dead. Just to head the obvious ones off at the pass… Y’know, it occurs to me occasionally that people might like to ask me stuff, but then I think “Nah, surely they know that they can just ask!” but obviously people don’t know that, so hey, if you have any burning questions, you can totally ask. ![]() ![]() ![]() Captain Bluntschli returns to visit Raina, she and Sergius decide not to marry, and Raina and Bluntschli fall in love instead. After the war ends and both her father and fiancé return home, Raina comes to see that Sergius is not the hero that she had fantasized him to be and she loses some of her naivete. Her views are challenged when she helps Captain Bluntschli, a Swiss mercenary fighting for the Serbian army, to hide from the Russian and Bulgarian troops. While both her father and fiancé are away fighting, Raina, at home with her mother, has a very innocent and romantic idea of war and soldiers. First produced in 1894, the play is set during the Serbo-Bulgarian war and tells the story of Raina Petkoff, a young Bulgarian woman, who is engaged to Sergius, a soldier away at war whom she idolizes. One of George Bernard Shaw’s most performed and studied plays, “Arms and the Man” is a classic example of Shaw’s comedic wit. ![]() |
