Happy New Year

2016 has been a hell of a year, hasn't it? So many celebrities lost (others as well, of course, I'm not negating them). I read a quote somewhere that I think rings true: we don't mourn a celebrity death because we knew them but because they helped us know ourselves (paraphrasing here because I can't …

Heart & Soul

Hi!  When Karin first asked me to write a post for her blog, I sat down and typed up 500+ words the next day.  This is not that post.  I hated that post with a vengeance and had to rewrite it.  So, this is my third try, I think.  It might be the fourth.  Either …

Ho! Ho! Ho! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Wishing all of you a great day today, whether you celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah or any of the myriad holidays this season. I'm still recovering from that stupid plague cold, so I haven't been up to very much. Christmas will be extended this year, since I never did get around to do any of my …

Keep Calm and Crochet

About Me: Hello, I'm Thandi! I'm a 25-year-old student who uses crochet to combat anxiety. I also sometimes bake cakes and dabble at writing. I have to admit, choosing a favourite author is nigh-on impossible for me, so I'm going to pick my top 5. In no particular order, they are Isobelle Carmody, Keira Marcos, …

*cough*

I hate being sick. Especially when I feel so poorly that I can't muster the strength to do, well, anything. I had plans to knit and bake and generally get things ready for Christmas. instead, I've been barely functional and working on being able to breathe because of course I would catch the monster cold …

Back to the Hook

Hello. My name is Jess and I am a crocheting failure. Well, that's not true. I used to be quite good at it a few years back. But the truth is I haven't picked up a hook in years. (Oh God, has it been years? That seems like such a long span of time.) I'm …

Fun with a Side of Panic

Hello to all of Naelany’s friends.  I go by Moonstar most everywhere on the net.  Naelany invited me to be to do a guest on her blog.  At first I went into a slight panic attack when she asked me.  When you have Social Anxiety as bad as I do being asked to do something …

Drowning!

Well, not really, but it does seem as if I've gone from zero to sixty in less than a second as far as knitting projects go. I still need to finish that shawl I started a few weeks ago, of course. And the dog sweater is still going to happen (just waiting on the measurements …

Insert Something Clever and Witty

I wish I could say exciting things happened this week, but that would be a lie. For one reason or another, the week has been kind of crazy, though, leaving me with both too much pain and too few spoons to do much of anything at all. Unfortunately, this included crafting, which kind of sucks because …

Forgetfulness and Furniture

About Me: Hi, I’m Brigham! I’m a full-time author and lover of all things creative. Other than writing, cooking and photography are the two big outlets for my creativity these days. Hands down, my favorite author is Margaret Atwood. I fell in love with her writing when I read “The Blind Assassin”. I tore through …
