Anastasia Feathers Her Nest

Sewing on her paternal grandmother's Singer

ANASTASIA CALLS HERSELF “the lamest crafter among the blogging sisters of TSP…until now,” a case of necessity apparently becoming the mother (sister?) of invention. She’s getting ready for the move to graduate school and her first solo apartment, and is actually crafting part of her decor-to-be. Pretty impressive: Have a look.

Welcome to Our New Blog Network
First time here? Here's the idea: TSP is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in-friendship or in-feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: Learn more about TSP, and how to find your way around. And oh—a giant, sisterly welcome.
WELL SAID
'A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves—a special kind of double.'
—Toni Morrison

Astrologer Sheilaa Hite's Forecasts
Oh, Brother.
Her torturer, her most authentic form of entertainment, her competition, her headache, her history…that would be Anastasia's brother.
You Know You're a Sister When...?
The assignment is easy–or is it? Fill in the blank: You know you’re a sister when _________. Wait till you hear what the other sisters are saying.
Who Can Resist a Good Sister Quote?
Certainly not us. We’ve gathered some goodies and hope you’ll help us add to the list.
Bra Rant, Anyone?
Sisterpedia: Meet Our Infant Wikisister
As the suffix of its name suggests, TSP's Sisterpedia is the reference section, one we’re hoping you’ll help us grow to maturity by adding your knowledge in the comments. Turn us on to new facts and figures, whether for the branch of our ‘library’ called Sistory (history from a sister point of view, from the Muses of ancient Greece to 60s Girl Groups and beyond) or the one called Sibling Science (what makes sisters tick, genetically and behaviorally). Or just click around and have a good read. See you there.

Now Showing in TSP's New Galleries
No surprise, really, that sisterhood, often life’s longest relationship and always one of its most important, has been the Muse for so much creative self-expression by women, and also by men. TSP’s Galleries were created to show off that outpouring of art and craft, poetry and prose. Come see a show or two—no ticket required, no lines to get in—and suggest others whose work we ought to showcase.
An Anthem for Sisterhood
Shall we all sing along with Antony and Boy George? Yes! An anthem for sisterhood (bring your Kleenex).
