I know, it’s been absolutely ages. I’ve been meaning to write, but I somehow just don’t seem to get around to doing it.

I was taking photos in the garden, and got really excited when I found the most gorgeous lichen growing on my bedroom windowsill!

I’d been taking photos of bugs too, since I very often do, as there are always lots of them to take photos of.

I took some photos of mud wasp nests under the windowsill, and Neil came and commented on them, so I said I ( Read more... )

That’s how long it’s been since my last post. Where does time go these days? There never seems to be enough of it!

I have been making stuff, and giving away most of it! I have managed to list a few things in my shops though - on Etsy and Zazzle, oh, and even on Spoonflower! And I’m really pleased to say that I’ve been selling things in all ( Read more... )

I saw a post in Jess’ blog the other day, all about the Girl Effect, and including this video (in the read more link).

This is my page, and this is Jade‘s. We’ve both got another box ( Read more... )

I was going to update this post once I got a book from the library, but having got the book, I want to write a whole new post, because there’s a whole new part of the poem!

I only knew about part 2 before. So I decided to publish the whole thing. It’s by Lee Cataldi, and is copied now, from the book Women Who Live On The Ground.

I came across a Mug Rug swap. It’s a flickr group thing. We’re not meant to blog about it, so this blog post will be posting itself in a couple of days.

One of the things to do, as part of the swap, is to create a mosaic of quilts you like so that your swap partner can get an idea of what to make you. I started off my mosaic allowing for a 5×5 ( Read more... )

I have a problem with things that have me stuck. I get really stuck. Blocked. Unable to move.

My lesson 19 power stories homework was one that had me a little stuck.

Whenever you have the impulse to do something “they” would think is ridiculous, try to recognize it as Whimsy and follow The Muse’s lead. This will helps ( Read more... )
