Stuck

Do you ever feel like you're just... stuck? You have stuff you want to do, stuff you need to do... and you might even really enjoy doing them (or not, in the case of housework and chores etc.), but you just... can't? It's like you're in a holding pattern behind an invisible wall that no …

Slowly

It's taking me a bit to get back into the swing of things, isn't it. I'm sorry about that. I am trying, but life happens as it so often does. The past couple of weeks has been a mixed bag of good days and days where migraines got the better of me (coming off a …

Empty Needles

I haven't been knitting. Or writing. Or really doing anything creative. I am at a loss. My only child has left for college, and my house is absurdly quiet, even with animals (dogs, cats, pig, bird) and another child living here (not mine, just one I love who has need of a soft place to …

Crocheted Writer

Hey guys, my names Misty aka abbymickey24 in fanfic. I'm a mom of a 13 year old, wife, crocheter, and writer (when I can find my mojo that is). Out of the latter two, I couldn't tell you which is my favorite if asked, so I'll just tell you a little bit about both. I've …

Dishing Out the Love

Thank you, Karin, for inviting me to post on your site, and for allowing that cooking is a craft. My name is Jackie North and I write m/m romance. The “m/m” stands for a relationship between two men, and the romance part speaks for itself. Why do I write m/m romance? Here’s why. Back in …

Lettering Shenanigans

Thanks, Naelany for inviting me to stop by your blog again! I've never considered myself an "artsy" person, but I've always admired pretty handwriting and creative typography. After learning the basics with Gimp (and later, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator), I've become addicted to discovering new fonts and wished I could just write something pretty (which I'll …

Guest post : Mom. Wife. Author. Blogger. Well the list could go on.

It's taken me all week to come up with something to post. I'm the world's worst person to put a time limit on, because it just simply will not be done. So here I am at the eleventh hour, trying to figure out what to talk about, about me. Who am I? I'm Kayla but …

Let’s Just Pretend…

For just a few minutes that today is Sunday, shall we? Between watching kids and being way more active than normal plus hot weather and resultant lack of sleep... yeah, I'm run down. So run down that I ended up spending most of yesterday in bed, sleeping. Which is how my post ended up being …

Knitting Backwards

I sat and looked at the bundle of string wrapped loosely around two sticks. This was going to be a baby bootie?? Who did I think I was kidding? I was a clueless guy, for crying out loud, not someone naturally gifted with craft genes who can just look at something and make it work. …

Guest Post: I think I do too much…

I generally say yes to things before I let my rational brain step in and ruin everything, and that’s what’s happened here. I received a PM to my Author Page on Facebook asking if I was crafty. As I write paranormal mysteries featuring witches, I got the wrong end of the stick and replied in …
