A Stitch at a Time

Little by little, I'm gaining headway on my Star Wars cross stitch. I just finished all the white parts, so next I get to fill in all the green, and then there's just the words at the bottom left to do. I am loving how this is turning out and every now and again hubby …

accio words!

hi there! my name is kimber, and i met karin during the height of twilight’s fanfiction craze -- a mutual friend of ours (*waves at jen*) introduced me to karin and her writing, and we became fast friends as well. i was mostly a reader and admirer of all the fantastic fic being written out …

Under the Weather

As I mentioned last week, I had my teeth pulled. I'm only now starting to feel anywhere close to human again, but my energy levels are still way down. Not unexpected, just annoying. I have not had the oomph to do any crafting, which sucks because I miss it. Hopefully I'll manage to get back …

She, ever the crafter, kept on crafting

Hello everyone, I'm Jess and I blog over at Ever The Crafter. I've been asked to do a guest blog here which is very exciting. I love connecting with other bloggers. So, a bit about me. I'm mid twenties and have had severe M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis also called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome by some people) since I …

Like Pulling Teeth

Well, not really like it. I actually did have my teeth pulled yesterday, so I've been kind of hunkered down today. Hence the late post. Earlier this week, I spent some time working on my latest cross stitch project and I'm almost done with the center bit. The little squiggle above it is the start of …

A Mama’s Work Is Never Done

I was delighted when my pal Naelany asked me to guest on her blog, as I've really enjoyed resurrecting my own blog. I'm not getting a huge amount of knitting done these days, which is how I met the lovely Naelany, but despite being deep in the new mama trenches, I am still crafting hard. Harder than …

One Step At a Time and Pecan Pie

One step at a time. That's how my week has gone. Without much reading, or crafting, and no writing. I did, however, end up baking. It was my sister-in-law's birthday on Friday and hubby and I made her dinner. Well, he made her dinner, I baked her favorite pie: pecan. The recipe I used was from a …

What am I?

Hello, I'm Jamie. J.C. Mischief. Mommy. J-Bird. Honey. Miss Jamie. Confused yet? Some days I am. My Twitter bio says it all: Writer. Dreamer, cake decorator. Wife. Mother. Daughter. Not necessarily in that order. What else am I? Scrapbooker. Baker. Cook. Girl Scout troop leader. Church leader. Fangirl. Shall I continue? When Karin first asked …

When Life Throws You a Curveball

This week has been... rough, to put it mildly. I'm not going into details, other than between this, that, and the other, crafting isn't something I've really been up to. I have managed to get work done on the gift, but alas, I ran out of yarn. Figures, right? I'm hoping things settle down soon, …
