Too Many Projects, Not Enough Time
As we approach the end of the first quarter of the year already, the dread of having achieved very little until now is looming, increasing the list of things I wanna do which is making me even more stuck in return. I wasn’t completely idle, I have been doing some crafts, but mostly cross-stitching obsessively…
Back for the first post of the year, my creative juice run out after my Xmas writing streak, but also the first few days of the new year were spent in the usual post-holiday torpor. Until I finally managed to haul my ass to Ikea for a lunch of meatball, and some bits and bobs…
It’s a wrap, folks! I managed 12 posts, some of them were harder than other as inspiration has been low, but I’ve managed, as I managed to get through this year. I made no plans for 2022, not even crafty plans, I’ll go with the flow. 2021 was hard, not the worst year albeit what…
As we are nearing the end of this year and of this writing streak, I have been setting up my Hobonichi for the new year. This is going to be the 4th year using an Hobonichi Techo, the 2nd year using a Hobonichi Cousin. What’s Hobonichi?Hobonichi is a Japanese journal, it comes in different sizes,…

Yesterday was Boxing Day, and my inbox was filled by sales emails. Tina from a few years ago thought it was a pity not being able to take advantage of the sales; Tina nowadays feels she has everything she needs, in particular in terms of clothing. And let’s be honest, two years of pandemic have…
A few days ago, I went back in time, today let’s step forward and look into all the new crafts I’ve been eying but I refrained to dive into as my favourite hobby is often buying supplies rather then using them. Tunisian (Afgan) Crochet A summer discovery during the first trip back home after the…
I had a couple of ideas for the Christmas Day post, neither seemed very suitable as I sat down to write: one about my Hobonichi, the other how much I don’t like Xmas and the festivities, or how I find preposterous people getting angry at hearing Happy Holidays (Christmas spirit much?). The former will come…
Some memories appears as a sensation, as a feeling, while an image form in my mind, it’s like to be briefly back then. December has always had a specific smell and often is a month long déjà vu, which gets more intense with Christmas approaching. This being said, I am not too fond of the…
