Term has ended and if we weren't about to move out of our house and be homeless for 4 months, I'd be so excessively chill right now but as it is we have a LOT to do before Friday morning. It's a strange feeling to be moving without our house being ready (built!) and because… Continue reading In Summer
37 Things – 1 Month Left
Of my 37 things, I have 12 still to complete: Read 50 books in a year 12 months - I've read 33 books since my last birthday so far meaning I have to read 17 in one month... I am not sure I will manage this one! Re-watch the whole of Lost - almost complete. I… Continue reading 37 Things – 1 Month Left
Terrible Limbo
Probably one of the most uncomfortable situations for me to be in is limbo. The not knowing, the uncertainty, the lack of control, it unravels me. Lately, I have been in a constant state of very low-level anxiety. It bubbles away and I don't really know it's there until something flares up and suddenly, I'm not coping… Continue reading Terrible Limbo

What Would Beyoncé Do?
Simple but heartfelt, this little piece of sewing inspiration was for my teacher friend Kat who I met on placement last year. And Beyoncé is kind of our spiritual leader.
Little Bit of Sewing
I haven't done much in the way of crafting lately but I did manage to knock up a small piece of embroidery for my work bestie Louise for her birthday last month. We were almost Buzz and Woody for the staff talent show before Christmas but decided the costumes were too elaborate. I also liked… Continue reading Little Bit of Sewing
Goodbye TWoP, Old Friend
I found out today that Television Without Pity (or TWoP) is closing in a couple of days. I don't think the archives of recaps that entertained me and validated my TV obsession will be accessible after 4 April. Their detail, their snarkiness, their understanding that hating is loving when it comes to Dawson's Creek or… Continue reading Goodbye TWoP, Old Friend

A New Look
Despite the fact that I rarely update it, I love the theme of my Raising Evelina blog so much that I have decided to bite the bullet and use it over here too. I was wavering because of the lack of sidebar (and I do love a sidebar) but I figured the large majority of… Continue reading A New Look
Happy
I don't generally think of myself as an unhappy person. I have a wonderful family, a great (if demanding) job and a lot of superb friends. Yet I was still intrigued by the #100HappyDays challenge that I had heard of - a colleague was doing it in order to focus on the positive things about… Continue reading Happy
