Nothing like life to throw a wrench in... well, life. I had plans for this weekend. Craft related plans. Reading related plans. Sleep related plans. And they all went up in smoke, thanks to something on our (new) car breaking and setting us scrambling to try to get it sorted. Because of our schedule, this …

A Little Piece of the Midwest
Hello. My name is Anna, and I'm a cancer. 😛 I met Karin through an online writing community, but got to know her better through the Ravelry forums. If you are not already aware, Ravelry is a website for knitters, crocheters, weavers, spinners of fiber, and everything else of the fiber sort, to converse, find …
For the Dogs
I'm starting to think that I'm getting too old for this - changing sleep schedules so dramatically, that is. I've barely been functional and as you can see, I'm awake instead of sleeping because, well, I can't sleep. I'm wide awake now, when I'm feeling like I'm dragging for hours after I get up. I'm going …
Creativity by Trial and Error
Greetings! I’m Jillian James, though almost everyone calls me Jilly. I’ve known Karin for a couple years now. We met through fandom, as we are both writers of fanfiction, and participate in the same fandom community. I’ll get to the writing part in a bit… I’ve always been drawn to creative pursuits, but I’m bit …
A Change in Schedule
Sleep schedule, that is. It's been way too hot for me to be able to really sleep at night, so we have been attempting to switch sleep schedules so we're up at night when it's hot, and sleep in the morning when it's nice and cool (well, comparatively). Let me just say that that isn't …
Hello.
My name is... well, it's not Inigo Montoya, but I can be your Huckleberry. If you know what I mean. *eyebrow waggle* Actually, my name is Ceci. I'm generally hard pressed not to insert weird pop culture references and 13-yr old boy level sexual innuendo into any conversation I'm in, so I thought I'd just get …
I Might Have Made a Mistake
Why, do you ask? Because it's hotter than Hades right now (to quote Sleepykittystitches) and has been for the last couple of days. Yet what have I been doing? I've been knitting away on my blanket. Yep. Smart, right? But I am finally done with the yellow and have gotten a nice start on the green. The blanket's …
On Being a Maker
Hi there, I’m Susi and I’m a designer, seamstress, crafter, writer tinkerer, loom knitter, clay potterer, actress, singer, dreamer, reader and vague procrastinator…in other words, a Maker. That’s how I’ve come to identify myself because “seamstress” doesn’t really cover it but that’s how I’ve made my living for the last 30 years or so. I …
