Foiled!

You know, sleep is supposed to be restorative, right? Somehow, I managed to injure myself in my sleep Friday - to the point where the pain woke me from a dead-sleep. You know, the one time I'm actually really out for the count? Typical, right? No idea what happened, all I know is my back …

Another Piece of AJ Rose

Hello, everybody! Karin has been kind enough to let me take over her blog for the day and share with you a piece of me. Normally, this means talking about my books, but given this is also a craft blog, I’ve been told it’s perfectly normal to talk about something else I love: knitting. So …

What To Do, What To Do?

So I'm trucking along on my blanket... and I run out of yarn. *sigh* No, not a case of playing yarn-chicken, unfortunately, because I'm still far from done. I have this 'row' to finish, still, and then at least one, if not two more in green before it's finished. Unless I decide to make it …

And In 2016 I Will…

I know, I know, we're well into 2016 already. Some might say it's a little late to start with the resolutions, but what can I say? I'm contrary that way. Not in the least because I actually don't like the term resolution. At least not when it comes to the definition generally assumed around the beginning …

Crafting with Posy Roberts

Hello, friends of Karin! I’m Posy Roberts, and Karin and I met nearly seven years ago through fan fiction. In fact, I think At the Deep End was my first slash fic. I was turned and never went back. Today I write MM Romance as my real life job, and I supplement my income by …

Another Time

As I mentioned last week, I've been listening to Nefertiti by Michelle Moran. I've always been fascinated by ancient Egypt. After all, the culture is so incredibly rich, and the Egyptians have left such a tremendous mark in history that there is much to be discovered even today - and there is even more that simply …

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! And Happy Anniversary to my hubby. I can't believe it's been fourteen years already, here's to hoping to many years to come. In light of the holiday, I thought I'd share a couple of the gifts I've made over the years. They're nothing extraordinary as far as looks go, but they …

Guest post – Colour out of Space

Hello! My name is Anniina, but most of my online friends call me Rain. Naelany asked if I wanted to write a guest post for her blog, and after a moment's hesitation I agreed. It's been quite a while since I've blogged about anything, but here goes! I'm married, have 3 lovely cats and a …

When Crafting and Gaming Collide

Between my husband and me, we have a variety of interests. I read, write, knit, crochet, cross stitch, to name a few. He games, and makes beaded jewelry. On occasion, I enjoy playing video games as well and I've been known to loose hours on World of Warcraft. It's still my favorite game to play, …

Superbowl Knitting

It's Superbowl Sunday today. Honestly, I couldn't care less about the sport. That said, I'll be - voluntarily! - watching the game today, because the rumor mill has Deadpool making several appearances. Gotta see that for myself *grin*. Yes, I am a geek. I love comics, both Marvel and DC (though between you and me, more …
