Sometimes, I feel sorry for hackers. Imagine going to all the effort of hacking an insta, and finding you’d gotten lumped with me. If you were to scroll back through my DMs, or not even on insta, but through various chat histories on various platforms, a good portion of the messages are screenshots or shared posts or pinterest pins followed […]
One of the hardest things about having our house for sale, is having to have it spotlessly clean and ready for inspection at the drop of a hat. One of the best things about having our house for sale, is that it is always spotlessly clean…leaving me free to do plenty of fun stuff! Right now, I have just tipped […]
We have been quite lucky with our children. Only one hospital stay. No surgeries. One broken arm and one greenstick fracture (which, to be honest, is a much higher success rate than we ever though possible, given the inverse relationship between a certain small boy’s fearlessness and co-ordination…). Overall, not a bad hit rate for over a decade with four […]
If we were in mainstream schooling, Mr12 would be in highschool this year – a whole new world of independence. Even without school in the mix, his calendar is becoming increasingly full…which means mine is also becoming full! Chess club this day, drama class that day, don’t forget radio every week and film every fortnight. I swear I run out […]
If there is one thing I love about the creative life, it is the sheer playfulness of making something for no other reason than to get my hands dirty and make something, regardless of the outcome. It doesn’t need to be perfect, whatever I end up making. It just needs to BE. I recognised my creative restlessness when I was […]
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 […]
There’s a certain form of conversation that one has with one’s creative enablers, that balances on a knife edge. It could fall either way, but chances are something (or, knowing me, someONE), is likely to get cut… Now that we are out of the baby & toddler stage, I no longer need to cart a heap of stuff with us […]
I’m not sure how long it has been since I have been this productive. In what I think is a personal record, I have managed to get my day in the life photos not only printed, but completely documented a whole eight days after I took the photos. Procraftinating at it’s finest…though I did convince myself I was actually cleaning, since […]
Despite my good intentions each year, my daily projects often fall by the wayside within a few weeks. This year, however, my morning stitches project is still going strong! This project has been so fun! There have been a minor couple of hiccups – namely, the first two weeks of the year none of my apps offered up min/max data, so […]
Whilst not quite as productive as January on the book front, I still managed to knock out a respectable 5 books during the month, which I am happy with. It was such a mixed up month, that I wasn’t sure how much I would manage, so I am happy with five. (As always, the book links are affliate – I […]
