And so, we come to the end of Blogtober. THANK YOU so much, for being here this month. For everyone who has read, commented, followed, subscribed, clicked links, listened to the podcast, THANK YOU. It has been a crazy ride of month, and I must confess, I am not sad to be at the end of it. I’m always glad […]
Three weeks in, I am having the most fun I have had for Blogtober in a long time. It’s been so lovely watching my Feedly explode with new posts and new follows. I’ve loved meeting so many new people in the comments section. You’ve all made this month so very inspiring, in a month when I’ve had the pandemic fatigue […]
Last night, I was running behind schedule, and ended up blogging on the couch after I got home from soup kitchen. “That’s a lot of words,” says my husband, “how do you even do that?”. 15 years of blogging, I tell him, it’s just practice. “But don’t you run out of things to say?”. How does one answer that with […]
When I first starting blogging back in 2008, it was more an offshoot of my main hobbies. It wasn’t necessarily a place to write and share as a stand alone channel, more where I could post photos and a little round up of the details, and share in the daily chat in an accessible way.

And yet, every year, I still find myself drawn to the familiar rhythm of daily blogging that is Blogtober. It takes me back to what feels like the “good old days” of blogging, somewhere in the depths of 2012, a […]
Time is a fun creature. A week ago, I was blogging about how short the years can be. This week, i’m reflecting on the past year, and how September 24, 2021 seems so very long ago. At the same time, it’s whizzed by, and suddenly I, and my partner in crafty crimes, have been podcasters for a full year. Let’s […]
Over the weekend, I started to write a blog post. By “started”, I mean I uploaded a photo and then stared at the white text box, not sure where to start. After a while, I figured it was a lost cause, and went in search of an old blog post that I knew I wanted to link into the one […]
How fun is Periscope? For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, it’s The New Thing in social media apps – developed by Twitter, it is a mobile-based video streaming app. You log in, hit start broadcast, and start talking. One of my biggest problems early on was working out how to get my phone […]
A couple of months ago, I shared my blog planner, and with it, a section marked “newsletter”. Then I got busy, then talked myself out of doing anything, then talked myself into signing up for mailchimp, then got stuck on getting the design to do what I want, then gave it up as a bad joke, then went on holidays, […]
