Bye bye, 2017

This year has been a bit of up/down on several levels. On the whole, things have gone better than they have in years for hubs and me. As long as you ignore the health stuff, because that has definitely not been stellar this year. Craftwise, I haven't managed to do as much as I'd have liked, …

Guest Post: BatSpit-Once and Future crafts

My name is Pamela and when Karin asked me to be a guest blogger on crafty subjects, it made me realize how long it’s been since I've done much crafting. Unfortunately it did not make me jump up and start a new project. In my day job, I ghostwrite business non-fiction. It’s a job I …

Merry Christmas!

So the other day we were out and about, partly running errands, partly because we were going to watch the new Star Wars (no spoilers!) movie. We did a lot of walking. Apparently so much that I ended up walking holes(!) in my nice, homemade socks. I'm so sad. 😦 I suppose I'll have to learn …

There and back again…

To start, I’d like to thank Karin for shocking me out of my normal, everyday life by inviting me to do a guest post here. I had no idea that she would consider me worthy to grace her blog. But I’m grateful because I haven’t really written anything in a long time--unless you count lesson …

Monday again. Yep, Sunday once again passed me by, I'm sorry to say, though I'm not sorry as to why it did. We got to spend time with friends yesterday, having lunch and watching It's a Wonderful Life together in the theater. Last year was the first time seeing it for me and it had …

Who Me?

Hello all, I'm Tammara, also known as Tammy. When Karin asked me to be a guest I was rather shocked, I've never thought I was very interesting, but here goes. I'm 48, the mother of three, grandmother of two. I currently live in a little town in northern Minnesota's Itasca county. I have discovered that …

Murphy Strikes Again

Good lord, it's only 11AM and I already am looking forward to today to be over. Murphy's Law has been our companion from the moment we got up this morning. Trust me when I say that 3AM on a Sunday morning is not the time you want to be finding a screw in your tire. …

Christmas Mood

Hello, I'm from Sweden and my minion name is Celia311. I work at a library and my love of books is epic. I'm currently having a bit of a medical issue that makes reading difficult so I've switched over to audiobooks for the time being. One recently read book is: Under the Harrow by Flynn …

All Work and No Play

At least, that's what it feels like right now. I haven't really had a chance to craft in a few weeks and it's starting to make me twitchy. I can't even say that I've been working on getting our place decorated for Christmas, either, because that would only be partially true. Or rather, accurate. What …

A Little of This

Hello Everyone! Kudos to Karin for the invitation to share a bit of myself with you. I live in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, known for its part in the Revolutionary War, the Amish, and shopping outlets. I do little to no shopping in the stores. I much prefer to make things to give as gifts. To …
