Slowly

It's taking me a bit to get back into the swing of things, isn't it. I'm sorry about that. I am trying, but life happens as it so often does. The past couple of weeks has been a mixed bag of good days and days where migraines got the better of me (coming off a …

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 …

Quality time

The lovely Naelany has invited me to write for her fantastic blog again. I was honored,  but the deadline still caught me by surprise. I’ve been busy, you see, with work, and other stuff that’s great and also time consuming. I like being busy. It’s... easy. “When was the last time you took care of …

It’s A Beautiful Day

And yet I've been stuck inside with a headache all day. It's been a rough few days (thanks, Murphy) that I'm still paying for, but hopefully, I'll get to enjoy the nice weather later this week. I did finally manage to get some knitting in yesterday and actually have a picture to show progress for …

Ramblings on Creative Expression

Hello everyone! First of all, thanks to Karin for giving me a place to ramble for a little while. I’ll do my best to make sense, but as I’m in the middle of editing a fantasy novel that’s longer than my last two books put together it’s possible I’ve just lost all ability to word. …

Oh.. Sunday again? Already?

No really, again? Already? What's up with time flying by like this? Hubby finished playing God of War and moved on to play Horizon. I have to say, the game is amazing. The graphics are incredible and the story... wow. Of course, while he's been playing, I've been knitting - when I've felt up for …

I know, I know

It's getting way too warm to work on a blanket, but I can't help myself. It's such a simple knit and I can just about handle working on it, both from a spoon-level as well as heat level. Also, it makes it much easier to be able to follow along as hubby plays God of …

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 …

Sunday Again?

How is it Sunday again already? It feels like it was Sunday only yesterday... Okay, maybe not yesterday, but certainly not seven days ago. I can't even say "time flies when you're having fun" because this week hasn't been a lot of fun, by and large. It's been painful and exhausting (yay weather messing with …
