Merry and well met!

[MashinShin al Mashiara]

Hello to the Kin.  I have been reading the threads and have even participated in some.  I really like what I have seen and learned about the Kin so far and would like to join the Kin. 

 

I came here from TV.net (Thoridyss) and some of you may already know me.  I do several crafts-sewing, crochet, embroidery, quilting.  I also write short stories and poems.  I've made baby blankets and layette sets in the past that have been donated to help low-income families who are pregnant or have small babies.  I have three children.  That is pretty much me in a nutshell.  I look forward to meeting and getting to know you all better.  :D

[U4ea]

Well, color me happy! I'm the first one to hit your thread! *grins*

 

That means by the time the others notice, you'll already be sashed! whoo-hoo!

*wraps a blue sash around Mashin's hips and kisses both cheeks*

Welcome, Mashin!  The Kin are a great bunch of nuts, fun to be around and wonderful friends.  The Kin are crafty and creative and generous and silly. 

 

I am a historical costumer and reenactor, myself. 

 

Happy to have you aboard!

[Torrie]

**pokes Mashin***

 

[MashinShin al Mashiara]

*happily pokes the Torrie* :D

 

yep...I seem to be getting around :look

[Torrie]

Well glad you found your way here!

 

 

 

Lor, I believe Twinny and a few others here have read Careys books.

I think we have found like minds.

[U4ea]

*grins* It's either that or I'm contagious... I like infecting people with good taste in literature. ;)

[MashinShin al Mashiara]

Books over 600 pages have always been my box of chocolate.  :D  I'm determined to talk Jadira into reading Kushiel also >:D

[twinflower]

Jade hasn't read them yet?  hmmm 

 

Actually, Lor has been after me to read them for quite some time!  I finally got around to it, and they are really good!  I totally enjoyed them.  At least the first trilogy.  I have the second one sitting next to me, and have resisted starting to read them, until I get other stuff done.  LOL  Otherwise I will read and do nothing else for the next week!

 

Myst has read them as well.  So has Manny....*grins*

[MashinShin al Mashiara]

A friend talked me into joining Terre d'Ange and after I joined another friend sent me a fantastic book review done all in emotes....just couldn't resist reading the books after that. :D  Finished Dart a few weeks ago and I'm going to be starting Chosen right after I finish a few things I've been working on.....namely a shawl for a dear friend.

[twinflower]

I was told I'd enjoy joining one of the Terre d'Ange sites too!  LOL  we are being overtaken!

[Torrie]

TdA is a great site.

 

I am waiting for some extra money for the last book. Its the only one that I have nor read yet. I am dieing to get it.

[twinflower]

Oh..is that Naamah's Kiss?  the one they are chatting about at the Farm?

 

I want to finish the next trilogy so I can read it and understand thier conversation and jump in!  It is only in hardback so far isn't it?

[MashinShin al Mashiara]

Yes Namah's Kiss just got released about a month ago so it will be a bit before it is in paperback.  :D

[twinflower]

*nods*

 

Thought so...I've seen it in hardback at the B&N and at Borders..but not in paperback!

[U4ea]

*smiles* Actually, the site has strict "no spoilers" rules, so you could read the first book and understand everything you need to know, Twin. :)

 

As long as you know the difference between a Jasmine adept and a Valerian one, anyway... *grins* Everything else is more chatting like we do here...with just a hair less restriction on ratings at certain levels. ;)

[MashinShin al Mashiara]

:lol

 

I do love the Valerians and the Mandrakes.  The Jasmines are rather fun and Eglantines keep my entertained. :look  I know...I'm such a geek :D 

 

I do agree about the ratings on the chat stuff on TdA.  It is one of the few sites that I belong to that doesn't have a pg-13 restriction on all the threads.  Makes for some very interesting conversations occasionally :look and some highly entertaining games  :o

[U4ea]

You realize that now you have to tell me who you are there, right?

 

*arches her eyebrow* I'm not hiding, so it's pretty obvious. *grins*

[MashinShin al Mashiara]

*g* I'm Thoridyss over at TdA. :D  I'm currently guesting everywhere and still trying to choose just one house....I may have to just go be a courtier since that would be easier :look

[U4ea]

*grins* I was just reading posts with your name on them, oddly enough! I'm guesting at Jasmine and Eglantine, though I only just got promoted. *grins* You have no idea how weird it feels to be on the bottom of the totem pole again. LMAO

[MashinShin al Mashiara]

lol :D  Nope I've not made it up the totem pole of any of the sites I belong to yet :look  One of these days ;)

 

Oh and Jasmine is fun.  I rather miss the perfume thread.  That was certainly interesting!
