While sorting out my current working space, I found old collages I did ages ago and wanted to post them here. Just to keep them in the same place as my new stuff. It’s great to see my old analogue collages. I did do a lot of digital collages but it’s really fun to be … More Old Collages
Well, over halfway through June and we’ve had torrential rain, a heatwave, thunderstorms, and two hail storms! I took advantage of the nice weather last weekend to walk to my dads on one of my weekend visits. According to the internet it is 3.9 miles and should take about 1h 24 minutes. Last time I … More Flaming June!
It’s been a fortnight of restarts. I restarted my blog (time will tell if it sticks!) I’ve gone back to trying to learn Japanese. I’ve restarted a Domestika course I started last year. And, after over a month of roofers having ladders and scaffolding in my garden, I’ve gone back to trying to sort that … More Just a Little Update
Well, not really. I’ve spent the last year getting used to the new normal of daily life. I’m the busiest I’ve ever been, at least it seems that way! Biggest lesson of the year – you’ll never have the time. You have to make it. One day you just wake up and move everything round … More Oh What a Lovely Hiatus!
Hello! I recently had a day out in Lincoln with my daughter and before we went I wanted to make a little journal for the day. Just something simple and light to fit in my bag. A really simple but effective looking journal to make is a single section dos a dos book. Meaning back … More Dos a Dos Mini Journal
I started journaling consistently (for me!) just over a year ago. We all know in theory how mentally beneficial it is but getting started is an absolute nightmare. Looking back at my Pinterest boards it’s easy to see why it took me so long. There seems to be so much to think about and plan. … More One Journal To Rule Them All
Hello Lovelies! The last few years have been pretty tough in my little household. All inspiration and creativity have completely left me. I’ve tried on several occasions to make something, learn something, do anything. The worst part is that I’ve not even cared over the last couple of years. I’m feeling the need to get … More A Return To Blogging
Before I did the very reckless thing of buying myself a camera, I had a play with scanography. It is exactly what you would expect and is becoming quite a popular art form. Once you fall down this little rabbit hole it is hard to climb out! There are some incredible artists making some very … More Scanography
I’ve spent the last fifteen years trying to find/work on a side hustle. And it’s followed the ridiculous cycle of: start a Creative Thing – wonder how I can monetise The Thing – obsess over how other people do The Thing – hate The Thing – start a new Creative Thing. I realise that cycle … More Burnout
I managed to get a day out on Monday before the weather got too much this week. I’ve always wanted to go to Burning Man in Nevada, although it has got less appealing as I’ve got older! Luckily the spirit of Burning Man has visited the UK. Burning Man is an annual event held in … More Radical Horizons at Chatsworth
