Welcome to my new blog!

Hello there, new readers!

I've been putting together this little blog for a while now, and trying to get everything all set up for your enjoyment. It's still a work in progress, so pardon the constant updates, but I do so hope you'll enjoy it.

My other blog (Living As A Proverbs 31:30 Lady) focuses more on the spiritual side, encouraging young ladies (and sometimes even young gentlemen) to live God honoring lives and giving advice where I hope it will help. While I love doing that, I wanted another blog to share other things with you, too!

Here I plan on writing posts (probably not long posts) about things like crocheting, painting, or books I've read/am reading. Recipes and patterns will come along, hobbies will be featured, and I may even have a guest or two join me (we shall see!).

I've got several posts on the way, including the ones with patterns I'm designing that I want to share (Who doesn't love free patterns?) so keep an eye on this blog, lest you miss them!

I'm still in the process of moving over book-ish related posts from the other blog, so bear with me if you're hoping to catch up on all of them. They are on the way, I promise.

I hope you'll enjoy yourself, and, hey, drop a comment on a post! I love feedback, you know!

Sincerely, Melissa

A Whole Lot of Not Writing Going On

Let's just start with... no, that isn't my dog. It's a stock photo. Y'all know I'm a cat person. Writer's block is so  fun.  Especially the kind that lasts, y'know, months. I've been in a creative writing freeze since probably December. I tried to do some minor writing on several books, but it just wasn't working.  Then I kind of figured out that I wasn't going places or doing things to give me new ideas, and the lack of interaction with people meant my people writing abilities were diminished down to a speck of dust on the bottom of a vault floor.  Not fun. Thankfully, I've been getting out more, doing more, and I'm slowly building up steam again! It's taking time but I wrote an entire chapter in one night, and it wasn't even horrible when I read it again.  There are plenty of days where my mind has plenty of idea and I have plenty of time to write, but I still don't, and that's okay, too. It's better for me to write ...

The War Of The Books

I should have known it would happen one day. See, it all started last night. I was getting some more e-books- the good, free, clean kind, you know?- and then it all broke out. A war among my to be read books. The devotional books started praying that this would all end soon, and began compiling comforting words for the fallen in battle. The poetry books began writing eulogies for their lost comrades. The advice books tried to get everyone to sit down and talk out their differences, but one karate book slipped in the mix and suddenly HEE-YA! The dictionary and thesaurus began compiling a list of correctly spelled ways to surrender. The crime novels started organizing the perfect crime to get rid of the competition. The romance novels started fainting and crying for a knight in shining armor. The cookbooks... well, actually, the cookbooks were busy trying to make their way into the kitchen for the feast that would be prepared after the fight. The conspiracy theorist b...

Ethel Tote+ Secret Pocket= Purse Tutorial Post

Fondest greetings to you all. I have written you an opera  a tutorial! * Nods towards my Phantom of the Opera loving readers* As my friends will know, I have been scouring the internet looking for a good (free) CCW purse pattern for a while now, and so far, my searches have been fruitless. Unless one is willing to pay an arm and a leg for a pattern, the only other option was to pay two arms and a leg to order a CCW purse. Seeing as I need both arms and legs I currently possess, that wasn't happening, and I had to create a third option:  Altering a pattern.  Now, I love  altering patterns, and though it gets frustrating, I enjoy the challenge. I had made Swoon's Ethel Tote before (though I hadn't made it exactly according to the pattern that first time) and really liked the pattern, and since finding free purse patterns I like is almost as difficult as finding a free CCW purse pattern, I decided to use it. I already had a basic knowledge of the pat...
