The post-winter malaise, which seems to be dragging its heels a little (much like winter), has led to much thinking. Not quite soul-searching, just the sort of thinking that happens when boredom sets in. More like subject-searching, if crafting is going to take a bit of a back seat for the time being and I’d… Continue reading The Everyday Joys

A Time for Plans and Projects
Huh. Been a while. Didn’t mean for that to happen. I was all set to get back to my pre-baby schedule, for card-making and writing, when life threw a spanner in the works. Well, it threw a cold, miserable sort of March in the way. Normally, March is when I’m beginning to feel optimistic again… Continue reading A Time for Plans and Projects
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.

There’s nothing like idling in the sunshine for plans to be made. There’s a story, possibly apocryphal, of how Agatha Christie liked to work out her… Continue reading Reflections on Blogging
Looking Ahead: 2020 Goals
I don’t much like Resolutions; I’m not very good with them, which doesn’t help. I aim high and get tired within a month and give up. I doubt I'm the only one. On the other hand, last year, I had Goals, which I found easier to work with month-to-month. Admittedly the Goals started off with… Continue reading Looking Ahead: 2020 Goals
On Beginning Again
I’ve been blogging, on and off, for about six years now. The last few years have been more off than on. The result, I feel, of 50-hour working weeks. I think I had a month back in January where I didn’t have to work that much, but then it started up again. It only… Continue reading On Beginning Again
