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 …
Can I Knit Yet?
This weekend one of my local yarn stores (Cozy, to be exact. You remember Karen, right?) was having a pretty big sale and lo' and behold there was a little fun money to be had so I dragged the hubs there to check it out. I rarely get the chance to go to a LYS …
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 …
In Stitches
Well, I'm officially toothless now - as far as my upper teeth are concerned at any rate. Let me tell ya, a mouth full of stitches is something else. This week's been pretty damn miserable as I'm sure you can imagine. Thankfully, the oral surgery went well. It's just that between the swelling and lingering …
Guest Again!
Guess Who’s Back! • Hi, again, everyone! Thandi, here 🙂 The lovely Karin has invited me to guest post on her blog once more. I am delighted to report to you that, since my last post, I have started studying again, whipped up a few more crochet projects and been diagnosed with Generalised Anxiety Disorder. …
Kites, Kites, Everywhere
Metaphorically speaking, at least. I've never in my life been so high, so frequently. No, not by choice, and certainly not for fun. I was supposed to have some teeth removed on Friday. I have severe dental anxiety so they gave me some pills to combat that. They failed to extract the teeth, I ended …
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 …
Annoyed
So I've been sitting here all morning trying to think on what to write. Truth be told, I haven't done much by way of crafting in far longer than I care to remember. Something always seems to be getting in the way of it, usually, my health, be it an injury or a severe lack …
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 …
Life
I finally managed to finish my first story for Rough Trade, but I'm not so sure I'll get very far with the second since it's almost the end of the month. Which kinda sucks, because that'll be the second time I'll not get to that particular one, but ah well. Between the heat, watching kids, …
