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 …

We do the Weird Stuff

Hello again!  Karin was kind enough to ask me to guest on her blog again. My name is Susi but I answer to Rowan, a musical character name with a long story or ‘Your Majesty” which is another long story but suffice it to say that I have acted at, costumed for, played music at, …

Guest Post: BatSpit-Once and Future crafts

My name is Pamela and when Karin asked me to be a guest blogger on crafty subjects, it made me realize how long it’s been since I've done much crafting. Unfortunately it did not make me jump up and start a new project. In my day job, I ghostwrite business non-fiction. It’s a job I …

Trash Crafting & being a Picture-Taker-Outer

I am sitting here, watching Lego Batman, wondering how to do this whole 'guest blogger' thing. When Karin asked me to contribute I was equally excited and nervous so I figured I'd give it a go. A little about myself first… here on the internets I am known as zielahime, [zeela-heemay] which is a play …

An Eclectic Crafter

Hi all! I was very honored when Karin asked me to write a guest post, but also slightly nervous as I’ve never written a blog or shared any of my writing before.  I’m usually up for a challenge, however, so here goes! I’m Cait and I am a 28-year-old dog trainer, avid reader, and sporadic …

In which Kat tells you how to make nice things whilst being completely broke

Hello there! I'm wuogkat (fanfiction or Ravelry or probably anyplace you see a wuogkat), or the bead lady's daughter (etsy). I'm currently a work in progress. 😉 I used to write a lot, and I still have 15 million "plot bunnies" swimming around in my head. The problem is that I lack uninterrupted time to …

Random Hobbies

Hi, Anita here, I’m 27 years old and I live in Mackay QLD Australia. I’m a full time student paramedic, I volunteer in various and varied not-for-profit organisations, I read an unhealthy (probably) amount of fanfiction every week and am obsessed with truly bad horror films à la sharknado, zombeaver, mega piranha etc. Oh! And …

Stitching Away

I had another sewing lesson on Friday. It mostly consisted of ironing yards of fabric, as well as cutting said fabric. My back is still not thanking me for the effort. One of these days when I have my own craft room I'll have an ergonomically correct sewing table and ironing board and all the …

One Small Step…

I'm finally going to learn to sew! Well, clothes at least, from a pattern and everything! My M.I.L. had given me sewing lessons as her Christmas gift last year and yesterday was the first. I had wanted to do pajamas but ended up unable to find the pattern I thought I had and wasn't sure …

Happy New Year

2016 has been a hell of a year, hasn't it? So many celebrities lost (others as well, of course, I'm not negating them). I read a quote somewhere that I think rings true: we don't mourn a celebrity death because we knew them but because they helped us know ourselves (paraphrasing here because I can't …
