The Art of Plotting While Painting

Hello everybody (said in the voice of Matt Bellasai from Whine About It video fame). AJ Rose here, lowering the tone of Karin's classy blog to bring you some rambling about books, reading, and my new favorite hobby, painting masterpieces... with a paint-by-numbers guide. What? I can't paint to save my life. Unless it's a …

Guest Post: A Little Cross Stitch and Romance

Hello and thanks for the opportunity to share a little about myself on your blog! Some of you may know about my blog, Slashsessed, and my love of all things slash, m/m and yaoi. What most do not know is that I also love to knit, crochet and cross stitch. I first learned how to …

My sanity…

To start, I have NEVER been a guest blogger before so here’s hoping my freshman effort won’t be a total dud! As a SAHM and writer I can honestly say staying busy is never an issue, staying sane, however, is. I have three daughters, though one is at university, and my 19 year-old nephew currently …

What To Say About Me.

I go by the username Kittydresden online and live in the UK. In terms of Crafting I enjoy passing the time doing Cardmaking and love using the Santoro Gorjuss Cardstock, but my real love is reading, particularly Fanfiction, where I can choose exactly which fandom, characters, relationships and genre as well as the length I …

Babble, books and… uh, bustle?

Hi! This is a little weird for me, since I don't really have my own blogs or anything but I’m super excited! I love reading Naelany's blog and now I get to post! I'm Pam and I use the handle Lace & Leather for my Rough Trade writing, which then gets posted under LadyMaya on A03. Or it would …

Love, Lust & Laughs with Melanie James

Hi everyone, I'm Melanie. I'm a New York Times & USA Today Bestseller. I write steamy paranormal romance, paranormal romantic comedy (more like snarky, vulgar witches), and sexy contemporary romance. I live in Wisconsin (where we are still buried in snow and freezing) with my husband, son, two doggos, three cats, and thirtyish chickens. In …

We do the Weird Stuff

Hello again!  Karin was kind enough to ask me to guest on her blog again. My name is Susi but I answer to Rowan, a musical character name with a long story or ‘Your Majesty” which is another long story but suffice it to say that I have acted at, costumed for, played music at, …

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 …

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 …
