I took an Ali Edwards Storyology workshop some time ago and have wanted to participate in another workshop but have not managed to find the time. When I saw that her Week in the Life project ran during the summer break, I took the plunge and ordered the kit, knowing that this would make it… Continue reading A Week in the Life
A Week of Photo a Day
One of my 39 Things was to take a photo a day for a week which I did last week. Using the prompts from Fat Mum Slim, these are my photos: I am getting on well with my list of 39 Things so far this summer and today I am starting the A Week in the… Continue reading A Week of Photo a Day
39 Things
I had mixed success with my list of 38 Things from last year but I'm at peace with the things I didn't manage to accomplish. Today I turn a scary 39 so I have renewed my list - some things remain but some have been removed and replaced.
Back at the Keyboard
Although my crafting has dropped off dramatically, I have been doing more writing. It's not enough writing: it's not regular enough. But it's a start. One of my issues with writing (whether it's blogging or 'proper' writing) is that I wasn't using my laptop much - it was bulky and usually tucked away out of… Continue reading Back at the Keyboard
Getting Organised
Being without a fixed abode for a few months and two moves in six months can lead to a feeling of chaos and panic when it comes to our home affairs. Add to that losing our case of personal documents (car records, birth certificates, passports - everything), it's safe to say that I am looking… Continue reading Getting Organised
5 things I want to do at half term
Take some pics of the new house. The one above is a taster! Write some more of my book. Catch up on home admin as it's stressing me out - I don't recommend losing all your important documents when you move house, by the way. Watch Vampire Diaries - I was bought season 1 ages… Continue reading 5 things I want to do at half term
Word for 2015
Last year's word was Positive. I think I maintained that for the most part with some notable lapses. This year, I had to think hard about what my focus should be. I settled on 'Protect' because my biggest focus (mainly) at work is to protect myself better. To protect my feelings better. I open myself up… Continue reading Word for 2015
Longhand Journal
I'm trying a new kind of journalling at the moment using a page-a-day diary and so far I'm enjoying it. What I write bears little relation to the day on which it's written which allows me to write a few days at a time. I am writing from prompts or from the heart - whichever… Continue reading Longhand Journal
My 38 Things List
I am exactly a month late with this as my birthday was a month ago today but my 38 Things list is now done with a few things already crossed off (I do like to make a list with some already completed items on there). I hope I can get through it all this year. I… Continue reading My 38 Things List
Starting Project Life
I have always been tempted to start some kind of scrapbook but had never really been attracted to the amount of fuss that goes along with it so when a blogger I follow, Elise Blaha Cripe, started sharing her Project Life spreads, I was intrigued. The system, developed by Becky Higgins, uses plastic wallets which… Continue reading Starting Project Life
