Crafter’s Block

Hello friends! Sarah, here, returning to Nae’s blog to chat about the fact that I haven’t knit or crocheted or spun anything for about a year, now. Yep. I’m stuck. I don’t even want to. I’m not even tempted. I love petting pretty yarns and occasionally still buy yarn, and then I set it next …

Sunday Again?

How is it Sunday again already? It feels like it was Sunday only yesterday... Okay, maybe not yesterday, but certainly not seven days ago. I can't even say "time flies when you're having fun" because this week hasn't been a lot of fun, by and large. It's been painful and exhausting (yay weather messing with …

Guest Post: I Am an Author – Meredith

It’s always easier to write a story than to tell people about yourself. Many times I want to set aside the typical biographical nonsense and start with Once upon a time… Why not. Once upon a time there was a little girl who wanted to take the amazing stories that played on a loop inside …

Pass the Coffee, Please

This week has been exhausting. Not because I've been so busy, but because Auntie F was busy kicking my ass six ways from Sunday. I've not had the energy to do much of anything beyond reading, so that's what I've spent most of my waking hours doing. That and watching the Harry Potter movies (only …

Around The World And Back

'allo! That's an ancient Swahili greeting which means "I'll have a taco" in French Canadian. Actually, that'd be 'allo eh! I'm Kris, or Kristoffer Gair for short or if we're being informal. Yes, I'm a smart alec. I used to go by the name Kage Alan when I wrote under a pseudonym, only I've decided …

Tick Tock

It's that time again for most of us: Daylight Savings! Yay /sarcasm. Have you turned your clocks forward yet? I'm all signed up for Rough Trade and it looks like this round is going to be a busy one, judging from all the sign-ups popping up in my inbox. It'll take a lot of self-control …

Guest Post: Gherkin’s Bucket

Hello again, it’s Krysten (Gherkin) back for a second guest post! Thank you to Karin for extending another invitation for me to come over and talk about my creative, fiber life. 😉 For those of you who don’t know me, I am the owner/dyer of Gherkin’s Bucket, a small (I’m the only employee!) independent yarn …

Cards!

Yesterday was a ton of fun as we had friends over to play games. We played a couple of rounds of Star Fluxx, which was fun - and very different playing with four people as opposed to just the two of us. Then we followed with about an hour or so of Supernatural Monopoly which …

Party Beans

Hi all! My name is Jamie but mostly on the interwebs I go by Mischiefmaker1 or some variation.  When K approached me about doing another guest spot I had no idea what I would do for ya'll. I've got my  hands in so many pies and I wear so many hats, it's hard to choose. …
