It's been an on again/off again kind of week (give or take), including two very long days - one was fun, the other not so much. The result's the same for me, however: extreme lack of energy and a whole lot of pain. Which in turn means that I haven't been able to do very …

A Piece of Cake
My name is Kate Aaron, and I have a confession to make: I'm not a crafter. *hangs head in shame* That's not to say I haven't been in the past: my parent's house is full of pots I've thrown, cross-stitches I've made, and pictures I've painted. The last time I painted something it might have …
Racy Listening (and by that I mean NSFW)
I've always enjoyed Jay Northcote's writing, so when the opportunity arose to review Helping Hand, I jumped on it. This was my first racy listen and I have to admit it was... interesting (read: so very glad I had my headset on, because wowza. Also glad no questions were asked about my blushing). I loved …
A Piece of Claire (and cake at some point)
I want to start off by thanking Karin for asking me to make a guest appearance on her blog (that makes me sound super fancy… I'm going with it). Karin and I met about seven years ago (holy crap… it's been that long?!) and bonded over a story about sparkly bloodsuckers and the desire …
Audiobooks and Jasper Fforde
As I've mentioned before, I am a fan of audiobooks. I enjoy crafting to them, and hubby and I like listening to them in the car (mostly because our tastes in music is quite different). Unfortunately, the iPhone (well, glorified iPod, since it couldn't make calls anymore) no longer works, so we can't listen in the …
A Piece of Jennifer Lee
Hello! Hola! Bonjour! Ok, I'm done with that. My name is Jennifer Lee and I am an old friend of Karin's. I am so glad to have this chance to say hi and introduce myself to other friends of Karin and hope that you don't mind my ramblings for a bit in place of Karin's …
Knit Happens
So now that Rough Trade is over it's time to catch up on all the shows that we put on hold for the month. Which means, it's time to work on my blanket. Easy busywork that requires little focus. Ha! It's supposed to be, at any rate, but I've already had to tink back several …
On Flowers and Onions
So here I am, plugging along on my flowers when I am stopped in my tracks. Why? Because hubby was cutting onions and now I'm barely able to see. Gotta love being so sensitive to the stupid things. Good thing they taste good 😉 Ah well. Until the effect goes away, my progress is on …
There is No I in Team
Thanks so much, Karin, for inviting me to share a little of myself with your friends and readers today. Hi, everyone. It’s lovely to be here. For those who don’t know me, I’m an Indie editor and author of erotic romance best known for The Divine Trilogy. The final book in the trilogy, Surreal, was …
One Stitch At A Time
As you can see, I'm slowly making progress on my flower card. Here's the first picture, which also shows how it's supposed to turn out, and here's the one from the other day. This is where I'm at today. It's both slow going, and a fairly quick project, odd as that may sound. You can …
