  • Reflux

    Sorry I’ve not posted for a while. I’ve had a rough couple of weeks mental health wise. I feel a bit uncomfortable telling you about this but mental health is really important and the only way we’ll smash the stigma is by talking about it openly and honestly. The last few weeks I’ve had something…

    First weeks in my 40s

    A fair bit has been going on in my first few weeks of being 40. Some of my craft stuff has been entered into Bury show. I’ve had a weekend and Sanntangle HQ with a stop at the Haribo shop in the way. I now have lime green hair. I’ve been struggling with the heat.…

  • I’m now in my 40s.

    Last week it was my 40th birthday. Honestly I haven’t really known how I feel about being 40. When thinking about it and mulling it over in my head I started to feel uncomfortable. I started feeling a bit useless and a bit of a failure. I’m 40 years old and still living at home…

  • My new quilt

    My new quilt

    The biggest thing to report is that my tangled quilt is now finished. As it’s the first quilt I’ve done I’m really happy with the way it’s turned out. So without further ado may I introduce the quilt: I think it looks brilliant. Here are a couple more close up pictures I’ve been writing this…

  • A bit of a change

    For some reason I’m really struggling at the moment to find motivation to do anything, like write something for here, do my healing work, start cutting out the fabric for my quilt. My motivation seems to have got up and gone. In the last post I talked about the tangle quilt and how I wasn’t…

    Update on the crafty things from the last few weeks

    The other day I did a post about there being so much hate in the world at the moment and from what I’ve seen since then, it doesn’t seem to be that much better. I know I have people close to me that are very loving and supportive and for that I really am very…

  • Hate

    Why is there so much hate in the world? I just don’t understand why and how anyone can call for the eradication of a group of people. There are places in America where they are making it illegal for some people to exist. I have no idea how they can justify writing laws to obliterate…

  • Arguments

    Do you ever run through arguments, debates or discussions in your mind? If it’s one that happened in the past I tend to do the what if thing. I should’ve said this,or I should’ve done that. But I have a habit of running through arguments that haven’t happened yet or may never happen. It’s like…
