Looking Back, Looking Forward: 2019 Edition

Another year is gone. This one to end a decade. Apparently I'm ten years older than I was last time this happened. I'm not sure about that last fact but whatever. This year has been a very WILD ride. It has some massive ups and some crash and burn lows but I'm still here. In…

Memo Pad: December Wrap Up

Somebody make time stop, please? This year has gone so fast but I guess at least I'm ending it with some good news: I completed my reading goal! I know I've talked about this a lot if you've been reading my blog but I honestly didn't think I would ever read 100 books in a…

Memo Pad: September Wrap-up

I can't believe there's only three months of the year left. I also can't believe that I actually haven't fallen behind on my reading goal yet! But, first things first, I've updated this here blog a little. I was Ever The Crafter but I felt that after however many years - and the natural evolving…

Memo Pad: August Wrap up

I MOVED. Okay so I mentioned that briefly in the last post but it's been a wild ride. We left the UK behind on the 21st of August and the last three weeks have been BUSY. So much paperwork and hoops to jump through to try to get everything sorted. We are only about half…

Memo Pad: June Wrap Up

June left. A while ago. Life has been super hectic (I was going to say here but I don't really have a here right now!) we packed up and moved out of the house I've lived in my whole life. (Bye London!). Moved in temporally with my aunt. Visited the place we are going to…

Memo Pad: May Wrap Up

May was such a busy month for me which is why this post is a couple of days late. But before that I just want to say hello June! It's my birthday month which is exciting. It's also pride month so happy pride everyone. It's also also officially summer in my books (sorry southern hemisphere…

Memo Pad: March Wrap Up

I'm late with my monthly wrap up. Oops. It's April already. Luckily I am currently still a European citizen so things could have gone worse (although there's still time!). I read a lot of books in March which is the main reason this post is late. While I haven't found it difficult to fit reading…

New Year, Same Me

I kind of hate resolutions. Especially the ones that say to do something different. New year new you. Those never work for me but I do like seeing goals. Things I want to achieve which are normally a continuation of what I'm already doing. I guess my biggest struggle is to keep doing things not start (anyone who knows me know I start too many things!!). And goals help to keep me motivated and not give in.

Memo Pad: October Book Wrap Up

Phew. It's been such a busy month for me! And I cannot believe it's almost Christmas already. I am not prepared. Somebody press pause, please! Probably the biggest thing that happened this month is that I got diagnosed as autistic. I've discovered so much out about myself and I still am finding and figuring out…

Goings On

I have a quick teaser update for the yarn I showed you last week. The blanket is going well and it is ridiculously soft and cuddly. I honestly don't think I've ever made anything this snugly. It's going to be one big square (think granny square but using a different stitch). It looks like two…
