        only  spring  rivaled  her  love  for  summer. the weather each day was bright and warm, and the flora was full of color. katherine wandered through the gardens, a small bouquet of flowers in her hand and eyes searching for more blooms to add to it. the ones previously in the wright apartments had all wilted, and the maids had no eye for this sort of thing; the one bouquet she'd let them bring had been quickly discarded. nothing less than perfection accepted. apparently that meant she must do it herself. so be it. kat was admiring the carnations when footsteps neared.   ❝ beautiful, isn't it? ❞   she asked, gaze remaining on the flowers a moment longer before she turned.

🩸 → stefan salvatore had been truly desperate only a few times in his life, and as he stepped out to make this call was certainly one of them. when the ringing stopped, he spoke before anything else could cross the line "katherine... feeling in the charitable mood this evening?"

"i need you to really listen to me when i say this. the mikaelsons are not a family that you want on your bad side. i suggest trying to keep your distance from them." she really is warning him for his own protection. wolves never really had a great chance when it came to the originals. not becomes of strength or species, but because of the complete vicious behavior of that family. she should know, she once ran with them. "just promise me to stay safe."

@insanislupus sent: “Here. Klaus said it’d be a shame to let you desiccate before the fun,” she takes a seat on the counter of Alaric apartment after tossing a bag of blood to doppelgänger. (Blood that is mostly cow blood from the local butcher.) “I gotta know. What was your favorite century? I don’t wear dresses much, but I always thought it’d be fun to wear those pretty ones from histories past. I don’t meet many vampires, especially other women that have been around so long.”

Eyes immediately go to the bag offered, but Katherine knows better; it's probably laced with vervain. Just by seeing the way Klaus has interacted with this girl, she knows she has to be just as conniving and manipulative as he is. She doesn't trust her, just as much as she doesn't trust Klaus. No amount of offered blood or female comradery is gonna change that.

Normally, Katherine can play along. But the anxiousness and paranoia of when Klaus is planning on murdering her is starting to get to her, and Katherine doesn't want to entertain whatever game Jackie wants to play today. "What do you want?" She questions, eyes narrowed and voice full of the disdain she's sure Jackie knows she feels toward her.

"Cut the crap, blondie. I'm not stupid, and neither are you. You don't wanna know what my favorite century was, and you don't wanna talk about dresses." She's stepping toward Jackie and slides the bag of blood off the counter, holding it out for the wolf to take back. "And you can tell Klaus that I prefer it fresh. If he's so adamant about me not desiccating."

Kat + River @ocean-eyeslnrp

Location: Lunch at the Beach, Shimmering Shore Beach, Day 3

-🏝️-

Much time had passed since River crossed paths with Kat. Hell, the most time the pair had spent together recently had been in forced joint captivity towards the end of Sebastian's coronation weekend celebration when they were kidnapped. And while during said hostage situation, the two spoke, River had not reconnected with Kat since then. Still, the stubborn vampire who'd been rescued by Olivier simultaneously while Jackson freed her, reoccurred in her mind. As if on a subconscious loop. And while River didn't know if Kat wanted to speak to her, for fear of remembering a time when she was unable to save herself - the Princess felt the urge to at least talk to her. Check in on the entrepreneur.

At the sight of Kat at the beach during lunch on the final day of the heir naming celebration in the Divine Forest, River felt as though it were a sign. She'd given her mate a brief goodbye kiss and after tapping into their telepathic portion of their bond to soothe Jackson's worries, she made her way to Kat. "Hey," She began, unsure of how to exactly start. River wasn't an expert on how to communicate on mutually experiences and traumas with others. "Are you free to talk? Privately." She glanced around. "We can step away to a secluded space." River paused, actually looking somewhat nervous. "I wanted to see how you are. Check in on you. Since the last time we spoke. Are you okay with that? If you don't want to talk about it, we don't have to. Just so we're clear."

         it was really a surprise for amara to see katherine smile, she was always absolutely grim, grumpy, or even malicious. an expression of the inner emptiness that amara had already noticed at the beginning (which is probably a bold assumption but it's what amara concluded when she first met her doppelgänger).

         amara was even more surprised when katherine offered her one of the red fruits that looked noticeably bigger than what she remembered.

         "thanks for the offer." amara even smiled shyly at katherine. she believed it to be a kind gesture, again something that amara hadn't witnessed before. truth be told, she was curious about what these fruits tasted like but it would be wrong to take one.

         "they make you happy, you don't have to share your happiness. i'm glad for you that they bring you joy." of course amara didn't conclude that the strawberries alone didn't cause this positive change in katherine.

"I beg your fucking pardon?" Chucky turned in the direction of the other person, brows forced together. His nails cut into the soft skin of his palms, a sharp sting of satisfaction to curve his bloodlust. Some people deserved to die. It was a fact of life just as the sky was blue or that grass is green, but he was trying to get better for Tiffany. Not that she needed to know that or that he would ever actually admit it out loud. "Wanna say that again, dipshit?"

Charlotte was curious about the entire family after all she’d never had the chance to speak to her aunt, being away at medical school and working her way through the curriculum in a way that would make her father proud. She’d just finished crafting lunch and some tea when the other entered she smiled softly. “Hello Auntie Katherine, I thought maybe we could have lunch together and catch up. I know I must've been a surprise to you given how we kept seeming to miss one another but I’d love the chance to get to know my aunt.”

Katherine watches everything, but above all she watches her boys, studies them. Shes noticed that when Damon needs to blow off some steam, he tends to go to the wood shed and chop logs till his anger evaporates.

Today, she had missed the catalyst for his anger, and now she was curious- so the fox had made her way over to investigate.

"Why Mr. Salvatore, you almost look as though you're doing some honest labour."

        ❝  be  honest,  ❞  she  innocently  began.  it  felt a necessary request given how frequently lies were tied together with pretty ribbons and fashioned as truth. a practice she too partook in.   ❝ what do you think of their dress? ❞   porcelain finger pointed out the target. now her interest laid in if her request for honesty would be genuinely followed or if the other would attempt sidestepping, both granting interesting information.

WHEN & WHERE: day thirty-one / night / post-recoupling / lounge area

Dylan hadn’t been prepared to see Naomi at that firepit and the way things went down, them spewing poison at each other in front of everyone didn’t sit well with him. He was angry and hurt at her, sure, the sight of her at that firepit has caused a whirlwind of emotions—both negative and positive, but the way they talked to each other was not right. He had no right to be upset seeing her coupled up, but it did upset him, because Dylan coming back single for her was an option he considered. He’s glad he didn’t and he maintains he made the right choice coming in with Adela and deciding to give them the fair shot they both deserve. He’d be fighting a losing battle. For the past few days, all he’s wanted was to talk to her, but now that it was time, a part of him wants to leave the chat till tomorrow, lest they are both too worked up tonight, but he doesn’t want to postpone this and it’s not fair for him, Naomi, or Adela to keep postponing. He’s almost positive the conversation won’t remain on neutral grounds, purely because Naomi’s fiery.

After this chat with Callie, he goes to find Naomi, hoping she’s not still talking to Josh, so when he finds her alone in the lounge area, he makes his way towards her. “I reckon we should talk, yeah?” he starts, his tone calm and firm yet a little pained and frustrated, too, clear on his eyes. His heart hurts looking at her, now that they’re not surrounded by other islanders and emotions aren’t running as high (still high enough, mind you), he can focus on her, on how she looks. Fuck, this is going to be so difficult. He wishes he could turn off his feelings for her with a simple snap of his fingers, but alas. “Whatever happened at the fire pit... this isn’t how we talk to each other.” If she wants an explosive, toxic fight, she has Josh for that. He doesn’t regret the things he said per se, he meant them, and they came from a position of hurt, but he doesn’t like the way they came out. Dylan’s not big on confrontation, and he anticipates this to go badly, for them to yell a bit, to expel that anger they both feel. Part of him wants to yell at her, just tell her how much she’s hurt him and how she made him out to be the biggest fool on this show and played with his heart like it didn’t mean much, but he maintains composure in an attempt to control the situation when he knows Naomi won’t be capable of that. || @heatwayve​​​​

the moment the chords of the song started to play, katherine was instantly transported to the first night she had met niklaus. a party elijah had asked her attend as she had been with him at the time. eyes had fallen upon the other brother, dragged into his aura like no tomorrow. his tone makes her look at him in surprise. "you had something to do with this, didn't you?" she asked, amused as she takes his hand. letting him lead her to the floor. "who knew you could be romantic, nik."

Threads Magazine, Winter 2022

This issue offers a lot of special items for fancy occasions, but it also offers coverage of more common sewing projects.

It begins with a seasonal dress-up fabric, velveteen, see the rich purple jacket on the cover. Sandra Betzina offers advice on using this fabric, and that jacket which is BurdaStyle 6661, offers a clever embellishment with golden beads and buttons shooting like comets. The Up Close feature on the back of this issue is a jacket with a doubled peplum which Kenneth D. King explains how to copy. In between we get an an article by Katherine Seeburger on her “opera dress,” which you see in the floral brocade, a special occasion dress which she planned and created with the help of King and Susan Khalje. And we get the winners of the Make It With Wool contest which includes this felted white wool coat, embroidered and embellished, by Kim Vogley which comes with a dress.

Duane MacLeod offers a technical article on sewing welt pockets which I am ready to try, and Linda Lee offers advice on creating a capsule wardrobe, an old idea of coordinating colors and shapes which is always worth reviving to my mind. There is also a gift section suggesting everything from a new machine to a trip to France. All this plus reviews of new patterns, and interviews including one with Natalie Chanin known for the Alabama Chanin company and its striking but simple embellishments.

You can find it at your local fabric store, newsstand or online here: https://www.threadsmagazine.com/
