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 …

It’s July!

And you know what that means, right? It's Rough Trade time! Yep, I joined in again. This round is for two 20k stories, featuring Sentinels and Guides. I started off doing my NCIS fic, which wasn't what I had initially hoped to do. Alas, my plans were foiled because when I went to rewatch Avengers: …

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 …

Sunny Days

There is just something about being able to sit out on the patio on a sunny day in peace and quiet. Emphasis on 'peace and quiet'. For the last couple of days, I've hung out outdoors to read. It's been lovely. For the most part. Most of the neighbors are nice and quiet and leave …

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 …

I Need a Nap

Or rather, I ended up taking one today. Been a while since I've needed to, but I was wiped out after kneading dough. But, at least I now have four loaves of Challah and I made scones for breakfast this morning as well. We'll just ignore the pile of dishes waiting to be done for …

Process and Product

So a bit about me. I am the mother of two now grown once precocious daughters, a 25 year veteran Head Start Teacher/Administrator, maker of theater and madrigal costumes, needle crafter, writer of prose and the occasional piece of fiction. I am an avid reader and a sometimes writer. I entered Firefly fandom, eventually found …

I Blinked

Wait, it's Sunday again? Already? I feel like it was only yesterday... okay, okay, the day before yesterday... I honestly don't know where this week has gone. Rough Trade is almost over and I have failed the 30k part of the challenge, but I'm totally okay with that because I'm liking my story. It isn't done …

Slow and Steady

Rough Trade is going slow for me. This past week has been... rough, if you'll pardon the pun, and I've been more exhausted than normal. Mostly because things like allergies acting up and trying to inhale tea (I wouldn't recommend it) taking up more than the usual spoons. So yeah, it's coming along, but not …
