The place where I get to share another part of me. Whether it's crafting, books, or something else.
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 …
Hello again, it’s Krysten (Gherkin) back for a second guest post! Thank you to Karin for extending another invitation for me to come over and talk about my creative, fiber life. 😉 For those of you who don’t know me, I am the owner/dyer of Gherkin’s Bucket, a small (I’m the only employee!) independent yarn …
When I was a kid I absolutely loved watching Bob Ross on PBS. If you've never seen him, Bob Ross is an oil painter who did televised tutorials for years. He would drop little nuggets of wisdom while he created absolutely gorgeous landscapes. One of his favorite pieces of advice was to always remember that …

Greetings and salutations, readers! My name is Alison and I’ve dropped in to discuss calligraphy, which is about as arty and crafty as I get. I’ve tried embroidery, knitting, counted cross-stitch, quilting, tatting lace, and while I love them all, I usually don’t have the patience to finish, or my cat decides to “help” and …

Hi! I'm Kira. I met Naelany online eight years ago (has it really been that long?!) when I was writing fic as in.a.blue.bathrobe. I'm still at it--I've even taken a hiatus from my crazy costume design jobs to focus on writing. My latest story, THE DIRTY SECRET, from Carina Press, is a lighthearted and (very) …
Hi! When Karin first asked me to write a post for her blog, I sat down and typed up 500+ words the next day. This is not that post. I hated that post with a vengeance and had to rewrite it. So, this is my third try, I think. It might be the fourth. Either …
