How to fertilize Fringed Passionflower
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it's likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Fringed Passionflower after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.
Fringed Passionflower prefers for the soil to dry out between waterings and should be watered regularly. Use our water calculator to personalize watering recommendations to your environment or download Greg for more advanced recommendations for all of your plants.

For an added level of protection there's GAP Advantage, which provides a $1,000 down payment on a new or pre-owned vehicle purchased at the originating dealer.

AmD Tuned Torque NM :(900)
AmD Tuning ECU remap – to include rolling road time, before and after power and torque plots.
Since the early 1990s, most engines have been controlled by an on-board computer, the engine control unit (ECU), which amongst other functions, defines the ignition timing, fuelling and boost pressure for all given engine speeds and loads.
Why Choose AmD for Mapping Your Car?
AmD Tuning has over 20 years experience in tuning and performance modifications. We have successfully competed in various types of motorsport over the years and when it comes to making your car "go faster" there is no one better.
Performance Gains.
After extensive development and testing, we arrive at the optimised settings for your make and model of vehicle, ensuring that each AmD Tuning map is as individual as the software inside your ECU, safely eliminating those 'performance compromises'.
As an example , the VW MK5 GTi 2.0T will gain over 50bhp from the manufacturers power figures.
We firstly run through the mechanical side of the car to ensure it is running within the manufacturers parameters. This includes a performance road test, computer diagnostics and a rolling road power test that to check the car runs correctly. We then modify the engine software for performance gains and test again on the rolling road. We can then produce before and after graphs of your cars power output.
In most cases this remapped programme is installed electronically and remotely through the car's diagnostic port. There's no replacement chip, and we don't touch the ECU itself giving you piece of mind.
Improved Fuel Economy.
In today's market with soaring fuel prices, an AmD Tuning remap means improved fuel economy as well as improved performance – saving you money in the long run. More engine torque means less throttle needed to keep a constant speed therefore improving fuel economy.
Guaranteed Results.
We guarantee your satisfaction with an AmD Tuning remap and offer a no quibble 30 day money back guarantee if not completely satisfied with the results.

My homemade beef and bean stovetop chili, served "Cincinnati Style" on a bed of spaghetti noodles and topped with cheese. If you've turned your nose up at this and never tried it, you must try it at least once. I got hooked first bite.
Chili SpaghettiOh Chili Spaghetti, Chili Spaghetti (or is it Spaghetti Chili?), where oh where have you been all of my life? ♥
I'm gonna tell y'all straight up front before y'all get all over me, that yes, this is a dish stolen straight away from above the Mason-Dixon line. Yep, sure is.
Well, at least the way it's served is. But, it is not, nor is it intended to be, cast as anything close to being an authentic "Cincinnati or Skyline Chili." It's still my chili, made my way, but... the manner of serving it over spaghetti noodles, with cheese, and often a variety of other things like raw onion and raw garlic, is apparently a classic Ohio dish - or more specifically, Cincinnati Chili or Skyline Chili. Now. That said... in order to earn one of those names, it's also got to be a specific type of chili, of which I really know nothing about, which is why I am just calling my version plain ole Chili Spaghetti, served Cincinnati "style."
I first learned about Skyline Chili from a friend of mine Brandi, who lives in, well, where else, but Ohio? She literally had to explain to me what this thing called Skyline Chili was! I had never heard of eating chili on spaghetti pasta before - and while I was intrigued, chili on spaghetti is just not something that we do down south. Thanks Brandi. I have no idea why I waited so long to try this, because first bite, I was sold.
Some folks seem to know this dish, or at least a very similar one, as Spaghetti Red. It appears that recipe came from a restaurant called Fred and Red's in Joplin, Missouri and I assume it's named after Red! One thing that does differ is that there don't appear to be beans involved, not in the chili, not topped over the chili. It's a mild version of chili, usually also served with a variety of side condiments - namely, hot sauce, vinegar, ketchup, onions, pickles, and saltine crackers.
Now, from what I understand, Cincinnati Chili or Skyline Chili, uses things like cocoa and allspice and no chili powder, but I'm not ready to move in that direction with my chili just yet, so I just used my basic chili with beans and the spices and seasonings I usually use. I do use a little bit of cinnamon but that's is about as adventurous as I'm willing to go with mine! By the way, don't feel overwhelmed at the ingredient list. Remember, this is a homemade chili and that's all chili seasonings - or flavor - that you would usually find in a packet, only we're making it fresh! And my apologies to Texas for the tomatoes and beans - I do know how y'all feel about those in your chili.
When I placed this platter of goodness in front of The Cajun and he observed that the chili he knew I was making, and the chili he was expecting, was being served to him on a plate of spaghetti noodles and piled with cheese, I noted the skepticism in his voice as he questioned my sanity! I smirked and waited for that next comment, which came I might add, after consuming nearly the entire dish... "this is really delicious!" 'Nuff said.
I also used the new McCormick brand roasted cumin and roasted cinnamon that came in our BlogHer Food swag bag we got at the closing party. It was a very nice addition and perfect for chili. Check them out sometime!

Recipe: Chili Spaghetti with Homemade Beef Chili with Beans©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 20 min |Cook time: 1 hour | Yield: About 6 to 8 servings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons of sliced jalapeno peppers, chopped
- 2 pounds ground chuck
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), optional
- 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon of Kitchen Bouquet
- 1 teaspoon of hot sauce
- 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 can of Rotel tomatoes or regular diced tomatoes, drained
- 2 cups beef stock or broth
- 2 medium bay leaves
- 2 cans of pinto or light kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- Cooked thin spaghetti noodles
- Finely shredded cheddar cheese
Heat the oil in a large heavy bottomed pot over medium high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and jalapenos; saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook for about 10 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Drain off excess fat.
Mix together the cumin, oregano, chili powder, cinnamon, Cajun seasoning, and sugar; add to the beef and continue to cook about 5 minutes longer.
Mix together the Worcestershire, Kitchen Bouquet, hot sauce and tomato sauce; add to beef mixture, cooking for about 4 minutes longer. Add the diced tomatoes, beef stock and bay leaves and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for about 40 minutes or until liquid is significantly reduced. Add the rinsed and drained beans, season with salt and pepper and continue cooking on a low simmer, about 20 minutes longer. Stir, taste and adjust as needed.
To each serving plate or bowl, add a layer of cooked spaghetti noodles, top with the chili, and sprinkle with finely shredded cheddar cheese.
Cook's Notes: Omit the beans if you like. Can also substitute 1 pound ground beef and 1 pound of Italian sausage or Mexican chorizo sausage, if desired. Can also use ground turkey.
Other serving suggestions: Serve chili alone, with grated cheese, or a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkling of sliced green onion, raw yellow or sweet chopped onion, raw chopped garlic, or other toppings as desired. Also good served over hot, cooked rice or cornbread.
Tip: Did you know that my layered nachos recipe is a great way to use leftover chili?

For Cincinnati Style Chili
Omit the sweet and hot peppers. Omit the beans from the sauce but include them as a garnish on top (drain and rinse), if prepared as "five way." Omit the oil for browning the ground beef and boil it in 4 cups of water until cooked through. Add all of the remaining seasonings down to bay leaf and as indicated below; bring to a boil and let simmer for 2 to 2-1/2 hour or until reduced and thickened. Refrigerate overnight and scoop off the top layer of fat before reheating. Alternatively, boil the beef without the seasonings and then drain well before proceeding with the recipe.
For seasoning: Add or adjust the following ingredients in the chili, using "to taste" for those indicated as "up to." Up to 2 tablespoons of paprika, up to 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, up to 2 teaspoons of ground cumin, 10 peppercorns, ground, 8 whole allspice berries, ground, 8 whole cloves, ground, 1/2 ounce of unsweetened chocolate, grated, and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Leave the Cajun seasoning or substitute with plain cayenne. Many recipes suggest up to 1/4 cup of chili powder, others say there is no chili powder. You decide. To serve Cincinnati chili - "two way" is simply chili and spaghetti; "three way" adds cheese; "four way" adds chopped, raw onion and "five way" adds beans on top. Serve with oyster crackers and hot sauce at the table. It may not be completely authentic, but it'll get you a little closer than mine.

- A smart, graceful, athletically-talented girl. Cool if not chilly, her personality even can even be seen in her posture. Her primary ability is to stop time, all her other abilities and attacks seem to come from non-magical items, such as firearms and bombs. Her time manipulation device can also allow her to travel back in time, act as a shield, and seems to act as a limitless storage facility.
- She seems to be a magical girl, but there are a lot of mysteries surrounding the way she acts. Her fighting style is also unidentified.
- Ms. Aoki's Design Check: A blunt girl. I tried to let this shine through in her design. Her distinguishing point is her silky long hair.
- Magical girl outfit: Homura was designed with her personality and combat style in mind. I found her fascinating right away. (Aoki)
- The sharp lines of her upper back and jacket evoke her personality. Overall rather monochromatic. Her black tights have a diamond pattern.
- School uniform: She wears black tights in uniform too, leaving her overall feel just like in her magical girl outfit. She gives off the air of a silent beauty.
- Homura's height range, according to the Production Note, is 155-159cm (5'1-5'2"). Her birthday, blood type and other biographical information is unknown at this time.
- According to the Blu-ray episode 2 voice commentary, Ume Aoki found Homura to be the most difficult to come up with an image color but one of the easier ones for character design.
- Regardless of her reasons, Homura'a priority is preventing Madoka from becoming a Mahou Shoujo. Since that is not understandable by other Mahou Shoujos or Madoka, she decided to act alone.
- Homura is a magical girl from another timeline, as revealed by Kyubey. She knows that Kyubey is behind a sinister plot, and it mostly involves Madoka turning into a magical girl.
- Homura's special ability is revealed to be some kind of time-travel, which explains why she knows so much to the point of knowing exactly when and where certain things will happen. This also may be why she can move at blistering speed.
- Her house has a wall display of documents relating to witches.
- In episode 9, it was revealed that Homura can stop time. However, anyone she touches while the ability is under effect will not be stopped.
- According to an interview in Otona Anime Vol. 20, translated by symbv, here is what Gen Urobuchi said on more of Homura's power: "The weapon that looks like Homura's shield is actually a sand timer. When the flow of the sand is blocked, time is stopped. And when there is no sand on the upper part of the sand timer and then the timer is reverted, one month's worth of time is turned back. But before that stage is reached, only time stopping is possible. This means the special power of Homura is the ability to manipulate one month's time's worth of sand in the sand timer. As for the time passed and then turned back, since it was not the focus in this work I did not think it through very thoroughly. I think you can say that the world split up and became parallel worlds there." In episode 11, we see Homura's sand run out in the middle of her fight with Walpurgisnacht, verifying this limitation of her time stop powers.
- Homura's backstory was revealed in episode 10. She was a transfer student who was recovering from heart disease. Probably due to her lack of confidence, she was targeted by familiars. However, Madoka (who was a magical girl at this time) and Mami save her. During Walpurgis Night, Madoka and Mami die. Homura then makes the wish to re-do her meeting with Madoka to prevent her fate.
- Along with stopping time, Homura can also reverse time to before her meeting with Madoka.
- Homura, while initially ditzy and insecure, has become very independent and strong during her time traveling. Her cold nature is from her determination to save Madoka after having failed in her mission to prevent Madoka from becoming a magical girl countless times.
- A previous Madoka was the one to task Homura to prevent Madoka from becoming a magical girl.
- In the current timeline, Homura fails to stop Walpurgis Night. However, since Homura somewhat confessed to Madoka to the time traveling, Madoka creates a new wish to make sure that Homura's efforts weren't in vain.
- Homura is the only one that remembers Madoka in the newest timeline. Also, she gains a bow and magical wings. Whether her time-stopping ability remains is unknown.
- In the ending, Homura faces off with many demons in a desert. Her wings extend and reflects the universe, full of stars.
- Homura uses her magic to heal her heart condition
- Homura is the strongest of the magical girls as long as no one discovers the nature of her power.
- At a Nitro+ Q&A Panel it was revealed that Homura went through almost 100 timelines. Q: How many timelines did Homura go through? A: Approaching 100.
- Color Theme: Purple.
- Soul Gem shape: Diamond.
- Not to let Kyubey discover her ability, Homura never tell others about her wish. This might also be a reason why other magical girls don't believe her completely.
Since her arrival at Mitakihara Middle School, she is immediately depicted as being very intelligent, athletic, distant, and cold. It is revealed in episode 4 that she is only like this because she has seen so much suffering during her tenure as a magical girl. Because of this, she does not want Madoka to become a magical girl and tries to do anything in order to stop her from making a wish with Kyubey, going as far as to attempting to injure the cat-like creature. Despite her cold attitude towards others, she still very much cares for Madoka as it is her sole objective to protect her due to the countless amount blood, sweat, and tears she has shed over her jumps in time.
In the original timeline where her journey began, however, Homura is portrayed as meek, shy, timid, and is known around the school for her lack of confidence. She was also known for her physical incapability of performing in P.E. class; she would get dizzy upon doing even the simplest of warm-up exercises. This had the unfortunate result of her being a target of bullying, as heard on Drama CD 1. Overwhelmed by her perceived uselessness, she begins questioning her existence and until she begins her fated friendship with Madoka, her feelings do not change. Madoka, alongside Mami Tomoe, shows her the ropes and dangers of becoming a magical girl and notes that Madoka's own attitude became much healthier with every witch battle. In an ironic twist, in the anime timeline we see how frail and meek Madoka is, compared to the current Homura whose personality had performed a complete 180-degree turn due to her experiences in multiple timelines.
Despite being regarded as emotionless by Sayaka Miki, Homura is far from it. Although she does not easily show signs of remorse, sadness, or pity, it is only because she had grown used to the suffering around her. Homura herself has stated that she always feels badly with each life she unable to save or alter, but nevertheless, it does not slow her down from staying true to her main objective in saving Madoka.
Prior to the events of the TV anime, Homura was hospitalized for a long period of time due to heart disease. The whereabouts and status of her family is unknown, as they are never mentioned in the series. In the original timeline, Homura at this point is physically frail and weak most likely due to her illness.
Homura in the anime
The original universe
Homura's time-loop officially starts on the 16th of the month in the anime (speculated to be sometime between March and April). She was released from the hospital on the 16th, and transferred to Mitakihara Middle School on the 25th. In the original timeline, she is attacked by a witch and saved by Madoka and Mami. Sometime during the next month, during Walpurgisnacht, she becomes a magical girl while wishing to redo her meeting with Madoka, thus gaining the power to pause and/or rewind time one month.
It is estimated Homura repeated the same month starting on the 16th nearly 100 times before the present timeline in the TV anime. Within these timelines, Homura was able to gradually improve her abilities and acquire items (such as ammunition and weapons from the Japanese military) to prepare for the battle with Walpurgisnacht. She was also able to memorize and deduce through statistics the major events that would occur within all timelines, giving her incredible knowledge about most of her adversaries. The corollary, however, was that Homura experienced the deaths of many of her friends repeatedly, often horrifically. As a general trend, Homura became increasingly distant to Madoka with each repeat of the month.
By the timeline of the TV anime, Homura appeared as a cold and calculating character who is distant from all the characters. She failed to save all of her companions (apart from Madoka), and by Walpurgisnacht, was forced to face the witch alone. She was subsequently defeated by Walpurgisnacht, and seemed just about to succumb to despair before Madoka appears and rewrites the universe with her wish.
By the anime's finale
After Madoka's revision of the universe, Homura is the only known character to retain her memories of the previous universe. She has possession of Madoka's ribbon, and has a new black bow as her weapon similar to Madoka's weapon. It is unknown if she retained her abilities to manipulate time and space. Homura is shown to have a much closer relationship with Kyuubey, so much so she even confides an entire account about how the old universe worked. She also has the ability to create wings of energy, forming angelic wings when confronting Wraiths in the city, and jagged dark wings when walking through the desert.
|Warning, this section contains spoilers about the movie.
In events prior to The Rebellion Story Homura was captured by the Incubators, and her Soul Gem was placed in an Isolation Field that blocked out the Law of Cycles. This strain led Homura to transform partially into a witch without her knowledge. In this form, she also unconsciously created a labyrinth that was a near-perfect replica of Mitakihara City, and unconsciously lured her former acquaintances into it. She even drew in Madoka from the Law of Cycles, who entered the barrier along with Sayaka and Nagisa Momoe. In this dream world, Homura unconsciously distorted almost everyone's memories (including her own) so that they believed they were living in the real world fighting new enemies called Nightmares. In order to stop the Incubators from fulfilling their goal, Madoka entrusted her memories and powers to Sayaka and Nagisa. Sayaka only pretended to have her memories altered, while Nagisa disguised herself as Charlotte/Bebe.
Eventually Homura realizes that she's trapped in a witch's barrier and attempts to discover who is behind it. Near the end of her journey she has a conversation with Madoka that causes her to realize that she can't accept Madoka's sacrifice. At this point she begins to realize she is the witch, and confirms it when she separates herself from her Soul Gem without consequence.
At this point Kyubey appears and explains the truth about Homura's present nature and the Incubators' plan to control the Law of Cycles. This causes Homura to go berserk and curse her existence, completing her transformation into a witch known as Homulilly. Madoka and the other magical girls manage to rescue Homura by destroying the stasis field containing them all, returning them to reality. Due to the Isolation Field, Homura only became a witch inside her own Soul Gem, allowing Madoka to save her.
Ultimate Madoka arrives to take Homura away as per the Law of the Cycle. However, Homura grabs Madoka first. Her Soul Gem turns black, then fills with swirling colors that Nagisa calls worse than curses. Reality begins to crack as Homura separates Madoka from her goddess self. The colors burst out of her Soul Gem, and both the cracks and colors engulf the entire universe.
Homura and Kyubey reappear in the same place where Madoka ascended in Episode 12. Homura shatters her Soul Gem in her mouth, and a new gem appears called the Dark Orb. Kyubey exclaims that Homura is rewriting the universe, and asks what happened to her Soul Gem. Homura explains that she remembered all of the times she repeated time, and all of the pain she suffered for Madoka's sake. She says that even this pain has become precious to her, tainting her Soul Gem with something greater than curses. As she swallows the Dark Orb, she calls it the pinnacle of human emotions: Love.
Homura transforms into a new form and grows a pair of black wings. Kyubey says that Homura is no longer a magical girl or a witch, and asks what Homura is now. Homura that since she brought down and imprisoned god, it's only appropriate to call her a demon (akuma). Kyubey decides that it was a mistake to experiment with human emotions and flees, but Homura grabs him and says she still needs his existence to deal with all the curses of the world.
By Rebellion's finale
|Warning, this section contains spoilers.
Homura effectively becomes a goddess of this new universe. Apart from her true nature as a demon, she still exists with a human form in the real world and can interact normally with everyone else. She appears to have the power to manipulate the memories of virtually anyone she pleases, but otherwise the full extent of her abilities are unknown. It is assumed that Homura is a deity that primarily embodies love (whereas Madoka embodies hope).
Homura is presently holding a fraction of the Goddess Madoka captive--specifically, the part that was Madoka Kaname before she became the Law of Cycles. It is also implied she is placing the world's curses onto Kyubey. Despite proclaiming herself as a demon, Madoka, Sayaka, Kyoko, Mami, and Nagisa are all given happy lives in her new world.
Homura in the Manga
"Homura-chan. We were already friends. From now on, and forever. Always." - Madokami, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Chapter 12
- Homura's role in the manga follows the anime exactly up until the final chapter.
- Instead of wandering through a desert towards a group of wraiths, the epilogue of the manga Homura is shown being saved by Madokami, who tells her they always have and always will be friends before they walk away together.
Homura in Oriko Magica
"Madoka... don't ever tell me not to save you. I'm not all-powerful. I am not able to save everyone. But... even so, I want to save you. So, don't say that anymore!" - Homura, Puella Magi Oriko Magica, Chapter 5.
- Homura first appears in Chapter 3. When Mami warns her about the magical girl murders, Homura seems not to care, but warns Mami not to get close to her, Madoka, Hitomi and Sayaka.
- In chapter 4, she appears for one page with her friends, going out for sweets. She defers to Madoka's taste and doesn't care where they go. She protected Madoka well to this point, keeping the knowledge of magical girls far away from her and Sayaka.
- In chapters 5-7, as Mitakihara Junior High is covered with a witch's barrier, Homura does her best to protect Madoka from the familiars. After Madoka told her not to sacrifice others to protect her, however, Homura decided to find Oriko and Kirika and defeat them. Oriko reveals that she knows about the end of the world caused by Kriemheld Gretchen, Madoka's witch form, and that she plans to kill Madoka before she can contract and cause that to happen. Homura fights together with Mami, Kyoko and Yuma, coming close to losing when two of the other three fall into despair after seeing Kirika become a witch. They manage to pull themselves together and defeat her, and Homura kills Oriko. But since Oriko also killed Madoka by using the last of her power to shoot a piece of Kirika's witch body through Madoka's torso, Homura can do nothing but reset the timeline.
Homura in The Different Story
- Homura acts just as she did in the anime.
- Homura tries to cooperate with all magical girls to fight Walpurgisnacht. But she still fails because all other magical girls don't believe her.
- When Sayaka becomes Oktavia, she warns Kyoko not to visit Mami or she may die. Kyoko refuses and set a barrier to stop her from following.
- She brings unconscious Mami home, and then seeks her help.
- She lies to Madoka, saying Sayaka is killed by witches. She doesn't want Madoka to know about the cold truth.
- When Madoka contracts, she doesn't reset time immediately. She tries to convince Madoka to run away, but Madoka refuses. She resets time after the other two go to fight Walpurgis.
Homura in the PSP Game
|Warning, this section contains spoilers.
- Homura's shield is able to store a countless amount of weapons, as demonstrated by the many pistols, light machineguns, shotguns, rocket launchers, and boxes of ammunition packed inside it. Note that her shield is relatively small and she is able to wear it around her wrist, much like a watch.
- Homura is frequently referred to as "Homerun-chan" amongst Western fans, due to the similarity of the two names in Japanese, however she is frequently referred as "Homuhomu" (ほむほむ) within Japanese community. Homuhomu likely originated from the runes in Episode 3, one of which translates to "Homuhomu".
- "Homuhomu" can be used as a verb as "do Homuhomu" (ほむほむする) which means to caress, console or take care of. The action of "do Homuhomu" is not defined exactly.
- Originally started by the fan community it has been embraced and adopted by the industry to become part of the official language and usage.
- Sometimes also jokingly refered to as "Homurika" due to shared similarity of circumstances (having to go through many timelines to prevent a tragedy) with Rika Furude (Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni).
- The first character for Akemi (暁) means "daybreak", while the second one (美) means beauty which is a common letter in girl's names.
- When her full name is written vertically in hiragana (あけみほむら) and covering the left half at a certain angle, it could be read as カナメまどか which is Kaname written in katakana and Madoka written in hiragana.
- Her last name can also be used as a first name.
- In an early production sketch, her surname was given as (暁海) "daybreak sea" instead of (暁美). Both are read as Akemi.
- Her first name is written in hiragana, which has no special meaning. However, when written in kanji, it can mean:
- flame, blaze (炎 or 焔)
- heart on fire (心火)
- mass of flame (炎叢)
- village protector (保村)
- Though only 焔, 炎, and 心火 are actually Japanese given names. The name 'Homura' can also be written the following ways as a given name:
- stride approaching happiness (歩向楽)
- head/point of the large village (穂邑)
- (Fun fact: The name "炎子" or Homurako can also be read as "Moeko")
- The official Chinese translation uses (焔) "flame, blaze" as the characters for her first name. However, no official kanji of her name exists in the original Japanese version.
- Some folks in 2ch nicknamed Homura's Residence Homu-home (ほむホーム Homuhōmu) since Homu is a nickname for Homura, and Hōmu is "home" rendered in the Japanese syllabary. It should be noted that "homu" is more often used for dog houses and similar structures, with the English word "home" expressed using "uchi" (うち, which refers to one's own house or household), "ie" (いえ, which can refer to a physical house or a family lineage), or the honorific "otaku" (お宅, which refers to someone else's house or household).
- The Homura of previous timelines is, due to her personality and actions, often referred to as "Moemura" amongst Western fans.
- Apparently there is a rumor on the net that some weapons went "missing" at the JSDF and US military bases in Japan. There is only one official report regarding the missing/stolen weapons. It is not known if the rumors of the
stolenmissing weapons inspired their appearance in the series. Nor is there any evidence indicating that the perpetrator was a time traveling magical girl.
- One fan estimates that Homura used ¥ 1,383,040,300 Yen worth of military weaponry & equipment (that's $17,037,114 USD in today's dollars).[1]
- Homura's appearance in episode 12 (in the new timeline) from the manga is different than her appearance from the anime. In the anime, her clothes and hairstyle remain the same, with Madoka's ribbon as her accessories. However, in the manga, she wears a new dress, changes her hairstyle to two pigtails with the ribbons Madoka gave her.
- In Audio commentary for Episode 4, Urobuchi liked Chiwa Saitou for the role because she had a "Dark Beauty" feeling.
- In the Audio commentary for Episode 7, Chiwa Saitou explains she tried the role of Kyubey and Kyousuke first, until Gen Urobuchi convinced her to try the role of Homura.
- Chiwa Saito explains that she found the character of Homura to be strong but also to be a weak/delicate girl. Aoi Yuuki adds that the Homura character had no other choice but to become strong.
- Ryouko Shintani states that would be true for a character that has something or someone important to protect.
- Chiwa Saito explains that she found the character of Homura to be strong but also to be a weak/delicate girl. Aoi Yuuki adds that the Homura character had no other choice but to become strong.
- In the Audio commentary for Episode 7, Chiwa Saitou explains she tried the role of Kyubey and Kyousuke first, until Gen Urobuchi convinced her to try the role of Homura.
- Some pages from the Puella Magi Production Note refer to Homura's attack on Walpurgisnacht as "Pytha-homu Switch", a reference to the complicated Rube Goldberg machines featured on the Japanese children's show "Pythagorean Switch".
- In the Puella Magi Madoka Magica Official Guidebook "You Are Not Alone" Hanokage jokingly describes Homura as "Hommando" in her After-Recording Report comic, because of the excessive vast arsenal of weaponry she unleashes in Episode 11. Apparently the smörgåsbord of weaponry was added later, they were not originally depicted in the early stages of the screenplay.
- Chiwa Saito (Homura) states that the crying scene in Episode 8 left her with a large impression. She feels like they captured the feelings of a girl perfectly, specially the part where Homura collapses, showing her weak side as a girl.
- In the audio commentary for Episode 11, Chiwa Saito (Homura) found the confession scene to be touching and emotional, and left her with a huge impression. She confesses that she cried.
- Aoi Yuuki (Madoka) found the scene to be amazing and filled her with emotions. Aoi Yuuki felt that her and Madoka became synchronized during the emotional scene. Aoi Yuuki believes that, surely Madoka would have accepted Homura's feelings.
"Madoka Kaname, do you value your life? Do you think that your family and friends are important to you?"
"If they are, then you should never think of changing yourself. Otherwise, you will lose everything that is precious to you."
- Homura Akemi, episode 1.
- She wants to stop Madoka from making a contract with Kyubey
- She has much knowledge about Mitakihara Middle School.
- She is visibly upset when Madoka uses her last name or honorifics instead of the more intimate "Homura".
- She was openly pursuing Kyubey until Kyubey made contact with Madoka.
- She is obsessed with Madoka's survival.
- As of episode 10, it is shown that Homura used to be a very shy and clumsy girl before she became a magical girl. Homura met Madoka and Mami when they were saving Homura from a witch, thus the three became friends. At the very end of that timeline, Madoka is killed and Homura asks Kyubey to turn her into a magical girl with her wish being "to meet Madoka again, but this time as the one protecting her, not as the one being protected".
- She appears to live by herself; her residence only has her name on the nameplate, much like Mami's. In episode 10, when she wakes up in the hospital, no-one is there with her, and she seems to have been filling out the school transfer forms on her own.
- She seems to have met Kyubey before, as she refers to him as "Incubator" in episode 8 shortly after he was shot down by her. She also reveals to "know his true motives".
- Her cold attitude was formed through re-living the same timeline multiple times, with the ending always being that Madoka either turned into a witch or died. When that happens, Homura turns back time to the first day of her arrival again.
- When Mami asks Homura if she has any other power besides bending time in episode 10, Homura steals guns, swords etc. from a locker. She hides these weapons inside her shield.
- Homura calls everyone by their full name, giving the impression of being distant to people. This is most likely an attempt of her part to distance herself emotionally with everyone.
- In episode 10, Moemura goes from formal to first name basis with Madoka.
- In episode 9 when Kyoko sacrifices herself to save Sayaka, Homura calls her by her first name.
- The way she calls Sayaka varies on timelines. And she always refers to Mami as by her full name or Tomoe-san, probably because she is her senior.
- She wears glasses and braided hair in her early insecure depiction shown in episode 10. Later in that episode with renewed determination she undoes her braids and uses her soul gem to correct her vision. From then on she no longer required the use of glasses.
- Homura finds a manual on how to make bombs from the internet. According with the Japanese Wikipedia the manual is titled Hara Hara Tokei (腹腹時計 Hara Hara Tokei), published in March 1974 by a far-left terrorist organization.
- Incidentally, the manual explains with illustrations that "Anyone with a middle-school level knowledge of chemistry can do it".
- Character development: Prior to the events of episode 1 (or timeline), from the very beginning Homura considered herself to be useless, and worthless. She didn't think people would miss her if she were to die or disappear. But Madoka was probably the first person to see Homura differently, for the good person that she was and opened her eyes that changed her way thinking about herself. With each timeline, we start to see a transformation not only in Homura but with Madoka as well, where there is a role reversal. It is now Madoka who believes she is powerless and worthless, someone who can't even do anything to save her friends, and it is Homura who believes that Madoka is too kind and reckless for trying to do to much for others. Unfortunately, over the course of looping time, Homura becomes colder and callous and her intentions to save Madoka shift solely into "Madoka's survival", causing Homura to become crueler towards her and others as a means of "protection". See also the paragraph about Homura showing emotionally abusive traits below. She seems to have grown past this by the finale, but it's ambiguous to whether or not Homura accepted or repressed her feelings. Either way, Homura is still heavily dependent on Madoka for self-validation, a trait which rears its ugly head during Rebellion.
- If Homura really did loop the same month and a half nearly 100 times, she would technically be around 26-years old, having spent 12 years looping time. (Calculations here.) However, since her body is always reset along with time, she is still only 14-years old physically.
- This makes Homura about twelve years older than Madoka (mentally, anyway, as her constant time-looping keeps her body from aging).
At least one element from the franchise is rendering them valid.
- In the first two episodes, Homura appeared to be the antagonist. It was later explained that she only wanted to prevent Madoka becoming a magical girl. She saved Madoka and Sayaka multiple times and may become an ally and/or mentor of Madoka in the future.
- She might also wish to prevent Madoka becoming a magical girl because of the risk that she could turn into an overwhelmingly powerful witch.
- This has been proven right in Episode 10.
- In Episode 5, Homura saves Sayaka from Kyoko by suddenly manifesting as Kyoko's attack is about to land, somehow moving Sayaka out of the path of the attack. The ability seems to involve massive acceleration rather than teleportation (this because of her power being to turn back/stop time and thus being able to move quickly from one point to another by stopping time temporarily), as she is able to act in a split second. As there are hints that a magical girl's powers may relate to her wish (e.g. Sayaka's regeneration), this may be a clue as to Homura's true motives. As of Episode 8 it has been confirmed that Homura's ability has something to do with time.
- Theory proven right: her power is stopping time and wish is time-related.)
They are only kept here for the sake of completeness.
- Homura's wish was to protect Madoka, and since wishes always come true, it should make her immune from death and becoming a witch before saving Madoka. This makes her doomed to be locked in this cycle. In one timeline she was almost successful, but Madoka sacrificed herself for the sake of Homura and caused another restart.
- Theory proven wrong: Homura controls when and if she rewinds time, so long as one month has passed since the last reset.)
- Per the image in the gallery below, the pipe layout on the corridor wall is completely different after Homura uses her 'teleportation' ability. Assuming this is not a production error, it has been suggested that the ability actually involves magically reconstituting the entire corridor while moving the people in it around. For more information, please refer to the entry on this phenomenon in the Magical Powers speculah.
- Theory proven wrong: her power has nothing to do with that, it was a production error.
- Homura may be a homunculus created by Madoka.[1]
- Homura might be in possession of the soul gems of magical girls from an alternate timeline, such as the alternate Madokas. See also Speculah:Homura Identity Swap Theory (though note the identity swap theory has been debunked).
- Theory proven wrong: Soul Gems disappear when their owner dies or become Grief Seeds.
- One of the speculations as for why Homura does not tell Madoka upfront of the consequences of becoming a magical girl, is because Madoka might just become one in order to save Homura or Mami. This could also be the reason why she's trying to keep a distance between her and Madoka.
- Theory proven wrong: she was doing it to stop Madoka per her promise.
- Homura may be Walpurgis Night. As Homura's powers involved time manipulation it could very well be that we are seeing a witch version of Homura warped back into the past ironically becoming the very event that has shaped her reason for making a contract. Walpurgis Night has been depicted with clock-like gears underneath her dress. Episode 11 also depicts Walpurgis Night having a primary color of purple, which is also Homura's color. While the end of the series shows Homura losing her shield, after the credits we are shown Homura during an unknown time period, though having Madoka's ribbons, battling. Before Homura starts the fight, she hears Madoka offer words of encouragement as Homura gives up a final smile, which may signal Homura being consumed with despair. The final shot shows the main heroines, overlapped with multiple silhouettes of the heroines, which could allude to the familiars summoned by Walpurgis Night in episode 11, before showing Homura's soul gem.
- More to this is that it's actually a fact that Kriemhild Gretchen and Walpurgisnacht where designed, to be two halves of a whole, at least as far as physical character design goes. Because of that they form an hour glass. Now, One thing that really stands out is Gretchen, go take a look at her body if you haven't. Now this is really a strange witch for Madoka to become. Most witches have at least something in common with their original wish and past, but all Madoka appears to be is this stringy black mess, What could explain this? Well, if we accept that Walpurgisnacht nacht is in fact Homura's witch, sighting the gears and Homura's lack of a time barrier, It then follows that Homura's and Madoka's witches form the hour glass. The implications of that would not be trivial, To start with, Homura is the very cause of Madoka's power and potential as a magical girl, How does she do this? time loops, as Kyuubey explained, each loop makes Madoka's past bleaker and bleaker, We already know that blackness is despair incarnate since we see it build up in soul gems, Gretchen is of course VERY black. In addition to that, Gretchen is also made up of many tendrils of threads, It would seem that if she is the bottom of the hour glass, then It's plausible that the threads represent the very threads of time that Madoka is caught up in, Walpurgisnacht, if Homura, would then be intimately connected to Gretchen, the very cause of her power, each twist of time by Homura perhaps dropping those threads, symbolic of their relationship to one another.
- Theory proven wrong: Homura's witch form is Homulilly.
- However, there is nothing to confirm or deny that a witch would change appearance while fusing with other witches, so the theory may still hold some truth.
- Homura technically doesn't have a witch form at all as she is only magical girl who has never turned into it. Nutcracker witch(Homulilly) has appeared only in fake Mitakihara, while Homura's real soulgem was unbroken. Her final form, Akuma Homura, is more than a witch as she told about herself.
- Theory proven wrong: Homura's witch form is Homulilly.
- More to this is that it's actually a fact that Kriemhild Gretchen and Walpurgisnacht where designed, to be two halves of a whole, at least as far as physical character design goes. Because of that they form an hour glass. Now, One thing that really stands out is Gretchen, go take a look at her body if you haven't. Now this is really a strange witch for Madoka to become. Most witches have at least something in common with their original wish and past, but all Madoka appears to be is this stringy black mess, What could explain this? Well, if we accept that Walpurgisnacht nacht is in fact Homura's witch, sighting the gears and Homura's lack of a time barrier, It then follows that Homura's and Madoka's witches form the hour glass. The implications of that would not be trivial, To start with, Homura is the very cause of Madoka's power and potential as a magical girl, How does she do this? time loops, as Kyuubey explained, each loop makes Madoka's past bleaker and bleaker, We already know that blackness is despair incarnate since we see it build up in soul gems, Gretchen is of course VERY black. In addition to that, Gretchen is also made up of many tendrils of threads, It would seem that if she is the bottom of the hour glass, then It's plausible that the threads represent the very threads of time that Madoka is caught up in, Walpurgisnacht, if Homura, would then be intimately connected to Gretchen, the very cause of her power, each twist of time by Homura perhaps dropping those threads, symbolic of their relationship to one another.
Please keep in mind that they are fanmade theories, and not official material.
- Homura may actually be Faust, as Faust in the play tries all his might to save Gretchen (Madoka) from dying but in the end she perishes anyways as Mephistopheles (QB) tries to tempt her to form a contract with him.
- There's also the fact that in the Goethe version, Faust would only lose his soul if he ever had a moment of perfect happiness that made him wish he could stop time at that moment forever. Homura's power, of course, is to stop time. As such, it's entirely possible that the Homura and Faust parallels will be taken to its logical conclusion: She will have a moment of perfect happiness, she will stop time at that moment, and then she will die or become a witch. However, it should be mentioned that Faust manages to escape Mephistopheles and enter heaven because he found his moment of happiness in helping others, and not in anything Mephistopheles gave him. On the other hand, there is a witch that tries to create heaven on Earth.
- In the story of Faust, the devil grants him "magical powers" for 24 years, "one year for each hour of the day," and the deal was at the end of the "24 years," the devil would claim his soul. Homura's "weapon" is an hourglass, and her hourglass can reset time by one month. Given the strong parallels to Faust, and how at the end of the last loop, Homura was about to lose her soul (by giving in to Kyuubey's master plan and her Soul Gem becoming corrupted), it is entirely probable that her loop lasted for a total of 24 months/loop attempts as a reasonable conservative estimate, and the full Faustian 24 years as a more gruesome estimate. Given how radically her personality has changed since the first loop attempt, and how she seems to have memorized most of the key events of the loop, 24 months seems like a plausible number.
- Homura shows some very different powers in episode 12. While this may be a by-product of the new world, it is also possible she always had these powers and simply did not use them in favor of her less magic-consuming time-stopping.
- Given the fact that she no longer has her shield on her wrist, it is most likely that her powers have changed altogether.
- Her shield was shown to be completely out of sand during the fight with Walpurgis Night. As we know, the only way for her to get more sand again is to reset the timeline (flip the hourglass). Since the timeline wasn't actually reset by her, even in new timeline, her shield would still be completely out of sand, and therefore, useless as anything but a hunk of steel on her arm. It makes sense she wouldn't use it anymore, then.
- Considering her wish was to protect Madoka, one could believe her shield shows her resolve to protect. Its turning to sand in the Walpurgis Night fight represents her inability (and indeed, her failure) to protect Madoka. When she flips the hourglass, gaining more sand represents the fact she can protect Madoka again. Her not having it in the new timeline shows that she doesn't need to protect anyone anymore.
- As for the source of her new powers, speculations abound; lead amongst them is that she got Madoka's bow from her at the same time that Madoka fixed her Soul Gem and gave her her ribbon. Another theory is that since her wish was to "protect Madoka," and Madoka is now a concept rather than a person, her powers were altered into something similar to what Madoka uses. Yet another theory is that with the universe restarted, Homura made a different wish, and so got different powers. Yet another theory is that Homura was always able to produce a bow; after all, her original concept artwork depicted her with that weapon. She just hadn't figured out how, or alternatively, just hadn't bothered, since stopping time is more efficient.
- My (slightly poorly-founded) theory is that her wish was to know what Madoka was (which explains why she can suddenly tell Kyubey everything) - if that's true, her having a bow represents her bond with the concept of Madoka. Kind of similar to your point.
- Her shield was shown to be completely out of sand during the fight with Walpurgis Night. As we know, the only way for her to get more sand again is to reset the timeline (flip the hourglass). Since the timeline wasn't actually reset by her, even in new timeline, her shield would still be completely out of sand, and therefore, useless as anything but a hunk of steel on her arm. It makes sense she wouldn't use it anymore, then.
- Given the fact that she no longer has her shield on her wrist, it is most likely that her powers have changed altogether.
- The reason why Homura can't prevent Madoka from being a magical girl may be interpreted that it is Madoka becoming a magical girl that makes Homura become magical girl. If Homura really did, there will be a paradox. But effect can't change the cause. Therefore, no matter how many times she tries, she is destined to fail.
- Another evidence may support this idea. In the end of episode 12, Homura is still a magic girl and she know the existence of Madoka. Because it is Homura's being magic girl and her trying hundreds of times to save Madoka that gives Madoka the ability to become Madokami. Even Madokami can't change what she is based on to exist. The effect can't change the cause.
- There are some bizarre elements that haven't been properly addressed in the anime series. In one case is the issue that the production notes state that in one timeline Kyousuke was a guitarist. It was never addressed in the Anime but in the alternate-Oktavia's witch card does mention a guitar, and we have no reason to assume it refers to anyone but Kyousuke. On this reason Kyousuke as a guitarist is considered to be canon. One possible explanation for this is that Homura is not only going back in time but also going to parallel universes (different universes) contained within the multiverse.
- This theory may not be fundamentally sound, by the way "time traveling" would work in a multiversal world. Time traveling is sometimes colloquially divided into two types; Type A in which a character can travel back in time and "re-do" a period of time without encountering themselves, or Type B in which a character travels back in time and discovers a second version of themselves. Type B is generally thought to be the result of traveling into parallel time or different universe, with its own set of characters which may or may not reflect in the original universe's reality. Every time Homura travels back in time, she does not encounter a copy of herself, and thus this may be logically excluded.
Gen Urobuchi stated that he didn't really think too much about the mechanics of Homura's time loops, so the nature of Homura's power is not only a mystery, but it is not fully understood not even by the creative source.
There are ways to explain the change in instrument using only time travel. Perhaps someone made a wish that changed Kyousuke's past, and the effects persisted in future timelines because the wish changed events that happened before the point where the timelines diverged, when Homura woke up in the hospital. Kyousuke might be proficient with both instruments, and some event during the time loop period might inspire him to prefer one over the other. However, these speculations are based on guesswork, since the show's creators have not yet provided details.
- Homura might have known smart because those question(s) were maybe the same from timeline 1.

text: Japanese breakthrough will make wind power cheaper than nuclear A surprising aerodynamic innovation in wind turbine design called the 'wind lens' could triple the output of a typical wind turbine, making it less costly than nuclear power. Mon, Aug 29 2011 at 2:47 AM EST 248 NOTE: Some major wind projects like the proposed TWE Carbon Valley project in Wyoming are already pricing in significantly lower than coal power — $80 per MWh for wind versus $90 per MWh for coal — and that is without government subsidies using today's wind turbine technology. The International Clean Energy Analysis (ICEA) gateway estimates that the U.S. possesses 2.2 million km2 of high wind potential (Class 3-7 winds) — about 850,000 square miles of land that could yield high levels of wind energy. This makes the U.S. something of a Saudi Arabia for wind energy, ranked third in the world for total wind energy potential. Let's say we developed just 20 percent of those wind resources — 170,000 square miles (440,000 km2) or an area roughly 1/4 the size of Alaska — we could produce a whopping 8.7 billion megawatt hours of electricity each year (based on a theoretical conversion ofsix 1.5 MW turbines per km2 and an average output of 25 percent. (1.5 MW x 365 days x 24 hrs x 25% = 3,285 MWh's). The United States uses about 26.6 billion MWh's, so at the above rate we could satisfy a full one-third of our total annual energy needs. (Of course, this assumes the concurrent deployment of a nationwide Smart Grid that could store and disburse the variable sources of wind power as needed using a variety of technologies — gas or coal peaking, utility scale storage via batteries or fly-wheels, etc). Now what if a breakthrough came along that potentially tripled the energy output of those turbines? You see where I'm going. We could in theory supply the TOTAL annual energy needs of the U.S. simply by exploiting 20 percent of our available wind resources. Well, such a breakthrough has been made, and it's called the "wind lens." Imagine: no more dirty coal power, no more mining deaths, no more nuclear disasters, no more polluted aquifers as a result of fracking. Our entire society powered by the quiet "woosh" of a wind turbine.Kyushu University's wind lens turbine is one example of the many innovations happening right now that could in the near future make this utopian vision a reality. Yes, it's a heck of a lot of wind turbines (about 2,640,000) but the U.S. with its endless miles of prairie and agricultural land is one of the few nations that could actually deploy such a network of wind turbines without disrupting the current productivity of the land (Russia and China also come to mind). It would also be a win-win for states in the highest wind area — the Midwest — which has been hard hit by the recession. And think of the millions upon millions of jobs that would be created building a 21st century energy distribution system free of the shackles of ever-diminishing fossil fuel supplies. It's also important to point out that growth in wind power capacity is perfectly symbiotic with projected growth in electric vehicles. EV battery packs can soak up wind power produced during the night, helping to equalize the curve of daytime energy demand. So the controversial investment currently being entertained by President Obama to pipe oil down from the Canadian Tar Sands would — in my utopian vision — be a moot point. It is indeed a lofty vision, but the technology we need is now in our reach. And think of the benefits of having our power production fed by a resource that is both free and unlimited. One downside often cited byadvocates of coal and gas power is that wind turbines require a lot more maintenence than a typical coal or gas power plant. But in a lagging economy this might just be wind power's biggest upside — it will create lots and lots of permanent jobs, sparking a new cycle of economic growth in America.

Almost a Book
I have a lot of work ahead of me in the next couple days, so I hope you'll understand if the blog is light on posts this week. (Plus it's Thanksgiving here in the U.S.! And Jeff and I are going on a little romantic mini-break!)
I may have a finished coat to show you in the next few days, though. Reader Cindy came to my aid on the lining issue--she had some of that charmeuse in her stash and gave me some! Isn't that the nicest thing you've ever heard? Anyway, I just have to hem the lining and sew on the buttons and it will be done.
Thanks for hanging in there while I've been working on the book, readers. You are the best. It will all be worth it, I promise!
What are you all up to this week?

I work in publishing and I don't think I've ever been this excited about the imminent publication of a book!ReplyDelete
This sneak peek is awesome. I cannot WAIT for your book! (I've worked in publishing 20 years, so I know my anticipation must pale in comparison to yours, the author's.)ReplyDelete
This is so exiting. I can't wait to have a hard bound version of all your knowledge :) Please tell me that it will be published in the UK too.ReplyDelete
Hope you have a wonderful mini-break, and yippee for your book,and the beautiful coat. Both works of art!ReplyDelete
I will be working on my own book (term loosely applied) as the days of NaNoWriMo 2011 are dwindling down. But I do hope to get a bit of sewing in - just dealing with a few UFOs.
Have a lovely break, Gertie. And the book looks so enticing. Can't wait for its release!ReplyDelete
YAY! Thank you for the little peek! It's beautiful and I can't wait to own it! Exclamation point overload!ReplyDelete
Congrats on your book - can't wait to buy a copy. It was sweet of Cindy to share the lining fabric with you. Sewers are the best. Spending Thanksgiving with family.ReplyDelete
How exciting to see this first pass. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.ReplyDelete
Yay on the book and mini-break! I will be wearing my finally-finished Lady Grey to Thanksgiving at the relatives. Just need to sew on belt loops and a button, and do a last little bit of pressing!ReplyDelete
I am so utterly exited over your book! I can't hardly wait - even if I know it's not due until next year. Good luck with the work!ReplyDelete
ps. I sure hope it will be available in Sweden, but both The Burdastyle and Colette where, so I have big hopes.
I'm hoping to finish my pendrell top to take with me on my Thanksgiving trip to New Jersey (from San Diego). It is also my little one's first birthday on Sunday, so it will be fun to celebrate with so many of my family members.ReplyDelete
The book sure looks terrific...I am so excited for you!ReplyDelete
- Cheryl LemmonsNovember 21, 2011 at 2:12 PM

I cannot wait to order a copy. Can we have a book launch party in Sydney?ReplyDelete
And Cindy, you're a legend.
WOOHOO! Enjoy the holiday and enjoy the moment of "almost" being published.ReplyDelete

Ohhh so exciting!! Can't wait for it to come out, I'm sure it will be gorgeous!!ReplyDelete
Working hard on my pattern making work this week and possible finish a muslin for a winter dress I'm making from a original vintage. Bodice shows a need for alterations, need to complete now and see what needs done.
Wow looks great! Look forward to it coming out! We are celebrating thanksgiving here in Australia too this weekend. Quite hard to find a turkey, might have to go with chicken!ReplyDelete

The book looks fantastic! I'm loving the black, white and red illustration sneak peek! And the name is just what it should be!ReplyDelete
I hope you have a great mini-break. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in the UK but the 24th is my birthday and this year I turn 30 so hopefully I'll be having a little celebration with some friends at the weekend. I'll also be pulling names out of the hat for the giveaway on my blog! And finishing a beignet and a number of other sewing projects...
Congrats on being a step closer to the finished book. You can count me as one of the many who can't wait to own a copy. Happy Thanksgiving.ReplyDelete
Oh,oh,oh...! The book teaser makes it look fab :) Enjoy your break with Jeff.ReplyDelete

Happy Thanksgiving!
Can we pre-order on Amazon yet? So excited for you! Have a lovely time with your sweetie and Happy Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for the time and effort, and seriously, loving care that you put into all your posts.ReplyDelete
Hey Gertie,ReplyDelete
How thrilling is it that your book is just about to be born! Hats off for all your hard work. You are quite the Superwoman.
This week I've gone back to looking for a JOB after several months of blissful freedom. I've been working on these cute zippered fabric baggies for storing and organizing my sewing stuff. Although they got off to a sad start, I am upgrading them and will eventually post the pattern/tutorial. I've also taken a private lesson on how to photograph the stuff I sew - it's been really helpful.
Enjoy your romantic mini-vacation and Thanksgiving holiday. Can't wait to see your book!
Oh oh i never even thort of that! Will it be released in the uk? I have just finnished my bomshell dress and need some Gertie projects to keep me inspired :-)ReplyDelete

Yes! Please let us know when we can get your book!ReplyDelete
Ok, I already said I'm excited to see the book, and it is looking fabulous, but I have a question. Can we pre-order it somewhere?ReplyDelete
I'd really like to put it on my Christmas list, but I'm guessing it won't be out in time, or will it?
Oh, Fall 2012, duh! I'm really jumping the gun, here, huh? I've just been asked to make my list, and I was overly optimistic...ReplyDelete
I am sooo excited for the book! I'm glad I wasn't the only one hoping for a pre-order option :PReplyDelete
I look forward to your book!
May be purchased in Argentina?
