I saw a bit more of my office during February. Hopefully I’ve now managed to work it out so that this will continue through March. I do hope so, as there have been several magazines recently with stamps, dies and an embossing folder which sparked lots of ideas. In particular, a set of one of… Continue reading Notes From My Office: March 2023

The Baby Diaries: Part 1
Before I had my Tiny, I had all sorts of ideas about motherhood. All sorts of plans for my maternity leave, and for working (or not) when that comes to an end. And then I had my Tiny. It’s been, shall we say, a bit of a learning curve. Admittedly, I only read a couple… Continue reading The Baby Diaries: Part 1
The Start of the Spring-Clean
It is perhaps a little early to think of spring-cleaning: we’re still in the depths of winter, though the lightening evenings are bringing a hint of optimism to this largely sofa-bound person. But, this year, M and I are doing a massive spring-clean, which involves new furniture and a complete reorganisation of most rooms in… Continue reading The Start of the Spring-Clean
Notes From My Office: February 2023
Ah, the end of January! Such a long and dreary month, though it has been comforting to see the afternoons remaining light for longer. A reminder that the winter won’t last forever, even if that’s how January makes it feel. Although the last few days of sunshine have helped with that. This last week or… Continue reading Notes From My Office: February 2023
The Covid Diaries
It only took three years, but finally the Dread Plague that’s stalked the world has caught up with us. On the one hand, at least it has taken this long: we’ve been vaccinated and we know what we’re doing with it. And it’s much less of a killer plague. On the other, though, so annoying.… Continue reading The Covid Diaries
Notes From My Office: January 2023
Normally at this time of year I reflect on the year just gone and think about my plans or goals for the year to come. Still being in the early baby-bubble, I haven’t really got much further than keeping Tiny alive and trying not to go insane through lack of sleep or the constant feeding… Continue reading Notes From My Office: January 2023
Notes From My Office: December 2022
I haven’t been in my office since mid-November. Currently, as you may have noticed, normal routines have been disrupted on the rather large scale and we’re only just beginning to fight our way back to some semblance of normality. A couple of weeks on the sofa doing very little is enough. I had hoped to… Continue reading Notes From My Office: December 2022
Notes From My Office: November 2022
With the end of October came the removal of the two-screen desktop and the return of half my crafting desk to crafting. I’m still reorganising my crafting supplies and deciding how best to use the space that is now available to me.

The Advent Jigsaw
Now that the nights are definitely drawing in – it’s dark by about half 7 these days, and getting earlier every night – I’m beginning to think about other festive crafting. I’m not feeling so far behind with the card-making that I can’t take a little break from them. What I’ve actually been thinking about… Continue reading The Advent Jigsaw
Notes From My Office: October 2022
October is going to be an interesting sort of month in my office, I think, for several reasons. Firstly, I’m beginning the wind-down of the day-job and the handing over to my replacement. The count-down is now ON. Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com Secondly, I have to get my act together to make sure that… Continue reading Notes From My Office: October 2022
