Moving On

Well, I've figured out which pattern I want to use for my sweater. I wanted to make a Rogue initially but I don't have the mindset for intricate anything right now and I really want to make a sweater for myself so I've settled for making a Brick. Of course, it can't ever be so …

Serial reader & knitter…and ear maker?

It has been awhile since I've written a blog post, especially one that wasn't a book review. So when Karin asked me to be a guest blogger, I had a momentary panic of "what do I write about?!". Luckily, she was pretty specific and asked me to write about crafting. Ok, I think I got …

Sweater Weather

It's official. Sweater weather has definitely started here in Oregon and I made the first one on my list. Not for me, but for the dog of one of my friends. Let me tell ya, dog sweaters? They're weird to make. Okay, so as you can see I'm not completely done with it. It still …

Trash Crafting & being a Picture-Taker-Outer

I am sitting here, watching Lego Batman, wondering how to do this whole 'guest blogger' thing. When Karin asked me to contribute I was equally excited and nervous so I figured I'd give it a go. A little about myself first… here on the internets I am known as zielahime, [zeela-heemay] which is a play …

Where Has This Week Gone?

Seems like I only had to blink to go from last Sunday to today. I couldn't tell you what I've been up to the past few days because it's all a hazy blur. Not because I've been busy, but simply, well, hazy. Yep, it's been one of those kinds of weeks. Fun times! Anyway. I …

A Little Encouragement

Hello! My name is Laura Kreitzer, and I write books . . . sometimes. I’ve been writing since 2008 but have taken a bit of a hiatus due to moving and life. Right now, I am currently working on the final book in my Timeless Series: Halo of the Sun. Since it isn’t finished, I …

Hats… On?

So for those of you who've been paying attention, knitting hasn't happened for me in a few months now. I simply haven't been up to it, which is saying rather a lot since I tend to knit in order to keep sane ;-). You also might remember that I have a couple of sweaters waiting …

Are You Crafty?

Are you crafty? This was the message Karin sent me last week. My immediate response was not really. I mean, I draw a little but it's nothing grand. I just do it to relax, or sometimes, it makes me want to pull my hair out, which is the opposite of relaxing. Exactly the way I …

Someone Please Pass the Wine

No, really. Someone, please get me some wine *curls up into fetal position*.  Needless to say, today I've spent doing a whole lot of nothing. Well, okay. Not nothing. I decided to catch up on shows that have started up again. So far, I've watched NCIS, Bull, Criminal Minds, Law & Order SVU, Hawaii 5 …
