Too Many Projects, Not Enough Time
New Year, New Me? No, thank you. I’ll keep the old one, I kinda like it. As almost everyone else, I’ve always been very bad at keeping New Year’s Resolutions, I prefer to set goals, but I don’t feel I need to start new goals on a new year, new week or new month. Mostly…
I’ve been thinking what to write as a small introduction of this latest (and probably last) blog post of 2017, but I’ve no wise words to share about this time of the year. So let’s get straight to the point and here you go a retrospective of my crafting for 2017. The first project of…
I went ice skating on Friday and this happened… And I got to spend the weekend on the couch, reading and writing? Sounds awful, right?!? I survived, even though sitting on the couch was like parallel parking a truck every time, and putting pants and socks on was a whole yoga routine. My knee isn’t too…
It was yesterday, in the dead of night – it was actually 9 pm, although with the short winter days and my age, let’s say: it was night, a cold and dark night, when I reached 50093 words written for my first attempt at NaNoWriMo. If you don’t know what NaNoWriMo – I didn’t until…
I’m on a roll! Another post in less than a month! This one is about a small project I made for a friend’s birthday gift and some of you should have already got the nerdy reference. I also tried to use my camera to take some snaps of the final product, but they are out…
It is a sunny October Bank Holiday Monday in Dublin and, after spending my morning in trying to figure out some coding for my college assignment, I decided to venture out of my cave with my recently acquired DSLR. However, before showing the proud first moments my camera and I spent together in trying to figure…
I’m clearly not good at this blogging, or at least, I’m not consistent. I have plans, big plans, too many plans as well as too many ideas, interests, hobbies, books… But let’s try again and write a new post about… a Lord of the Ring inspired socks? Ehm… nope, sorry, this is not even about…
I’m messy. Period. In the last year, after a friend introduce me to the Konmari method, I’ve been slowly applying it. Spoiler alert: everything sparks joy. I have to admit it works: my chest of drawers has never been so tidy with all the clothes neatly folded in small packets. Most of my house, however,…
So, time to catch up on some scribbling about my latest crafty undertakings. Let’s start with the first one I’ve completed already a month ago. I’m part of a roller derby team, Boomtown Rollers Dublin (check us out here) and we have a bunch of eager rookies who are getting into all the jamming and…
This summer is going far too fast, and no holidays for me… After finishing the exams in one college, I started straight away a summer certificate, which is about to finish. However, I still found some time to work on a few sewing projects: some are completed, another is about to start and a few…
