My office is full of boxes and my craft supplies beginning to be packed away. Or set in the trolley as a Capsule Craft Room. To be honest, the thought of all the packing is rather exhausting. It has begun though only in a desultory sort of way. Doesn’t help that temperatures over the last… Continue reading Notes From My Office: July 2021

The Last Week of (This) Lockdown
Unless something drastic changes over the next seven days, my Return to the Office begins in earnest next week. As such, I’ve been trying to get back into the habit of at least drafting as many posts as possible well in advance. Like this one, which I drafted at the beginning of June, and which… Continue reading The Last Week of (This) Lockdown
Notes From My Office: June 2021
It’s been a very quiet month for work. My office has spent far more time as a craft room than as an office. I’m not complaining. I’ve enjoyed spending more time with the inks and stamps than with the computer. I’ve even made over half of the birthday cards I’ll need for the next six… Continue reading Notes From My Office: June 2021
Home or Office: Restrict or Relax?
I first drafted this a few weeks back, at the beginning of the month. I’ve since rewritten. You see, we were preparing to return in earnest to the office. Couple of days this week, a few more next, then full time on-site at the start of July. That isn’t now happening, for various reasons, for… Continue reading Home or Office: Restrict or Relax?
Notes From My Office: May 2021
It’s been a quiet month, work-wise. Especially for the last couple of weeks. Photo by Alena Shekhovtcova on Pexels.com On the other hand, that did enable me to get further along with the map-project, even with having to redo a large portion of stitches. And now I’ve had the first dose of my Covid vaccination.… Continue reading Notes From My Office: May 2021
Life in Lessening Lockdown
We’re no longer in hibernation, though the weather doesn’t seem to have been told. It almost *whisper it* feels like we’re back to normal. Though who knows what will happen with the variants currently Of Concern. I’m just looking forward to finally getting at least the first dose of my vaccination. It might be soon… Continue reading Life in Lessening Lockdown
Just Keep Going
The thing about life is that it isn’t all sunshine and daisies. Sometimes, it’s grey and miserable, and it’s difficult to find the motivation or do more than just go through the motions. Sometimes it’s because you’ve started a Project (personal or professional) which will take a while and you’re stuck in the middle and… Continue reading Just Keep Going
The Craft Room
I’ve been reorganising my office this month. Before A few weeks back, M said he didn’t think the fairy lights in his corner really gave him enough light, and was there anything I needed from IKEA if he went for a new floor lamp. The one that used to live there had been requisitioned for… Continue reading The Craft Room
Notes From My Office: April 2021
Sometimes, I build up a backlog of Archers Omnibuses (Omnibii?), and then I settle into my office (in its guise as my craft room) and spend an afternoon catching up while I craft. It’s easier, I find, than remembering to retune the radio from 3 to 4 every evening at 7pm (or tuning in on… Continue reading Notes From My Office: April 2021
On Writer’s Block and Inspiration
For the first time since I restarted my blogging in Summer 2019, with all my Good Intentions for planning posts well in advance, I failed for today. Naturally, therefore, I shall take my inspiration from this, and write on Writer’s Block, that common or garden excuse for not writing. I use a bullet journal, of… Continue reading On Writer’s Block and Inspiration
