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 …

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 …

Another Piece of SorceressCirce

Hi everyone! Karin invited me back for a second guest post, and I am honored to accept. I have to confess that I have been relatively quiet on the crafting front since the last time I was here, mostly because I started graduate school and, more recently, a new job as a high school librarian. …

Bye bye, 2017

This year has been a bit of up/down on several levels. On the whole, things have gone better than they have in years for hubs and me. As long as you ignore the health stuff, because that has definitely not been stellar this year. Craftwise, I haven't managed to do as much as I'd have liked, …

Guest Post: BatSpit-Once and Future crafts

My name is Pamela and when Karin asked me to be a guest blogger on crafty subjects, it made me realize how long it’s been since I've done much crafting. Unfortunately it did not make me jump up and start a new project. In my day job, I ghostwrite business non-fiction. It’s a job I …

Someone Please Pass the Wine

No, really. Someone, please get me some wine *curls up into fetal position*.  Needless to say, today I've spent doing a whole lot of nothing. Well, okay. Not nothing. I decided to catch up on shows that have started up again. So far, I've watched NCIS, Bull, Criminal Minds, Law & Order SVU, Hawaii 5 …

Out of It

I'm a little out of it today, so please bear with me. Fuzzy brains do not good writing make. Or real coherent thought, for that matter. Last week I started on a new project, trying out the whole grid thing. I'm finding I enjoy working with one, so I'll definitely be looking into other ways …

On the Grid

Since I didn't have any stuff (I forget what it's called) to make a woven grid, I figured I'd try making one with a good old fashioned pencil. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that particular way of doing things, but I am liking the whole grid thing. I'm a lot further now, …

You’re a wizard, Harry!

This year I got to celebrate 20 years with my favorite literary character, Harry James Potter. I got to grow up with Harry, I was in 6th grade when I first read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and I'm definitely part of the "Potter Generation". I prefer that title over Millennial any day. Hi, …

A Stitch Here…

A stitch there and we're making progress on one of my Christmas projects (hush, haven't you ever heard of Christmas in July?). Not that that's why I'm working on this, mind. It's just so close to done I want it moved from my WIP-pile ;-). Haven't decided if it's going to be framed or if I'm …
