Quality time

The lovely Naelany has invited me to write for her fantastic blog again. I was honored,  but the deadline still caught me by surprise. I’ve been busy, you see, with work, and other stuff that’s great and also time consuming. I like being busy. It’s... easy. “When was the last time you took care of …

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?

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 …

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 …

Crafts can be healing

I’ll introduce myself a little. My name is Rachel and I’m in my 30s. I am disabled so I do have a lot of free time that I spend mostly watching movies/TV shows and reading. I have been doing a variety crafts since I was very little. My mother would invest in all types of …

Process and Product

So a bit about me.

I am an avid reader and a sometimes writer. I entered Firefly fandom, eventually found …
