Hi again! I'm another Karen, owner of Karin's nearby yarn shop, Cozy! One of the most frequent questions I get at the shop is, "How do you pick all the colors? It must be so hard!" Short answer, it is. It's so hard that I welcome the chance to not pick, when given it; I …

Empty Needles
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 …
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 …
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.

Dishing Out the Love

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 …
Guest post : Mom. Wife. Author. Blogger. Well the list could go on.
It's taken me all week to come up with something to post. I'm the world's worst person to put a time limit on, because it just simply will not be done. So here I am at the eleventh hour, trying to figure out what to talk about, about me. Who am I? I'm Kayla but …

Knitting Backwards
I sat and looked at the bundle of string wrapped loosely around two sticks. This was going to be a baby bootie?? Who did I think I was kidding? I was a clueless guy, for crying out loud, not someone naturally gifted with craft genes who can just look at something and make it work. …
Guest Post: I think I do too much…
I generally say yes to things before I let my rational brain step in and ruin everything, and that’s what’s happened here. I received a PM to my Author Page on Facebook asking if I was crafty. As I write paranormal mysteries featuring witches, I got the wrong end of the stick and replied in …
