Guest Again!

Guess Who’s Back! • Hi, again, everyone! Thandi, here 🙂 The lovely Karin has invited me to guest post on her blog once more. I am delighted to report to you that, since my last post, I have started studying again, whipped up a few more crochet projects and been diagnosed with Generalised Anxiety Disorder. …

Sunny Days

There is just something about being able to sit out on the patio on a sunny day in peace and quiet. Emphasis on 'peace and quiet'. For the last couple of days, I've hung out outdoors to read. It's been lovely. For the most part. Most of the neighbors are nice and quiet and leave …

Crafts can be healing

I’ll introduce myself a little. My name is Rachel and I’m in my 30s. I am disabled so I do have a lot of free time that I spend mostly watching movies/TV shows and reading. I have been doing a variety crafts since I was very little. My mother would invest in all types of …

I Need a Nap

Or rather, I ended up taking one today. Been a while since I've needed to, but I was wiped out after kneading dough. But, at least I now have four loaves of Challah and I made scones for breakfast this morning as well. We'll just ignore the pile of dishes waiting to be done for …

I Blinked

Wait, it's Sunday again? Already? I feel like it was only yesterday... okay, okay, the day before yesterday... I honestly don't know where this week has gone. Rough Trade is almost over and I have failed the 30k part of the challenge, but I'm totally okay with that because I'm liking my story. It isn't done …

Slow and Steady

Rough Trade is going slow for me. This past week has been... rough, if you'll pardon the pun, and I've been more exhausted than normal. Mostly because things like allergies acting up and trying to inhale tea (I wouldn't recommend it) taking up more than the usual spoons. So yeah, it's coming along, but not …

Halfway There

April is halfway through already and so is the Rough Trade challenge. I'm still not entirely sure how it's going since I seem to be struggling quite a bit with getting the words out. At least, it feels like I'm struggling. That said, I posted a chapter today and in doing so am officially two-thirds …

Spoons? What Spoons?

This week has not been kind and it looks to continue on into the next. Fun times, man, fun times. I've done a little bit of writing for Rough Trade. I'm happy with how the story is going, though I would have liked to have been further along in it. Braining just hasn't happened thanks …

Let the Magic Begin!

Happy Easter, everyone. I don't do April Fool's jokes. In fact, I absolutely hate it when people pull them - at least for the most part I do. Silly ones like George Takei's "Gaysha" announcement, or the BBC's "The Earth Exploded" news flash from a few years ago, those I don't mind. But most other …

Of Toes and Encoded.

Yes, yes, I know that I haven't gotten very far with my socks (and made no progress on my blanket), but still, I have toes! Well, I finished the toe-section of the socks. You know what I mean. I was actually surprised to find that the yarn is striping. When I got it I hadn't …
