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 …

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 …
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 …

Around The World And Back
'allo! That's an ancient Swahili greeting which means "I'll have a taco" in French Canadian. Actually, that'd be 'allo eh! I'm Kris, or Kristoffer Gair for short or if we're being informal. Yes, I'm a smart alec. I used to go by the name Kage Alan when I wrote under a pseudonym, only I've decided …
Of Toes and Encoded.
Yes, yes, I know that I haven't gotten very far with my socks (and made no progress on my blanket), but still, I have toes! Well, I finished the toe-section of the socks. You know what I mean. I was actually surprised to find that the yarn is striping. When I got it I hadn't …
Meet Maia Carlson
Hello! I'm a writer/artist/plant enthusiast who sometimes finds time to be a graduate student teaching unenthusiastic students about writing. Sometimes I find a bit of time to read in there, too, if only because not reading will surely result in insanity - I recently finished off Rob Thurman's Cal Leandros series, as well as Douglas …
Maskcrafting
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) …
Who Am I? What do I do?
When I got a ping in PM from Karin asking me to be her guest blogger, I was quite tickled about it. I have never gotten such an invite from anyone before. But the thing is, what to write and how to write about what I do? Because: I am not really much of a …
She, ever the crafter, kept on crafting
Hello everyone, I'm Jess and I blog over at Ever The Crafter. I've been asked to do a guest blog here which is very exciting. I love connecting with other bloggers. So, a bit about me. I'm mid twenties and have had severe M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis also called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome by some people) since I …
