About Scissorina


My name's Sarah Jayn McNally and I'm a scissorina.

scissorina (sizz-oh-reenah) noun, a female, scissor wielding multi-tasking crafter, often found drinking beer in large packs pretending to knit

The word was coined when my sister Mary and I founded the Hat City Scissor Squad in a attempt to find some crafty biotches who would share our love of scissors and glue - as well as things like Snorks and The Daily Show. (We were very successful in this endeavour - to learn more about the Squad, click here.)

I'm a twenty-something gal living in wonderfully woody Connecticut with a dog worthy of her own comic strip, and two felines who believe they are worthy of a whole novel.

I am completely unable to sit still. Thus, the craftiness. The holy trinity consists of Knitting, Spinning, and Sewing. But, I will be lured into anything involving scissors, paper, glue, shrinky dinks, shiny beads or ribbon....
