The weather forecast was amazing, and I had a good night sleep. I really itched to go out and we did! We went to a museum about an hour’s drive from the house, and it’s famous for its amazing sculpture garden and one of the largest van Gogh collections in the world. It was so so so wonderful. Here are some pictures...
This post is entirely inspired by Rachel Maksy’s video she posted yesterday: my complete ineptitude to do a new to me yarn craft: nålebinding. This morning the headline of a triumphant article shouted at me that OpenAI now has created human intelligence or something stupid like that. I didn’t read it as I had...
I keep forgetting to post this list! Funny too, because I was struggling in the last week of (bl)august to find something to share! So I’ve already read two of the books on my list. Feel accomplished :D The orange coloured ones are in progress. Robert Jackson Bennett - A Drop of Corruption ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ashlyn Kane &...
I just wrote a draft post that was filled with doom and gloom and so much negativity. I wrote all that out of my system, then hit the back button on the top left of my screen, and hit “discard changes”. Poof. All that doom thinking gone into the ether. Here’s why I don’t want to give into it. Why I don’t want to...
I had such a good day yesterday. I was high energy, even went to do yoga, and I went to sleep with a smile. I had a bit less sleep last night, about 5 hours and my energy levels were definitely lower today. This morning I worked on a blogpost, one that made me anxious. I finally shared it after a couple of hours of...

These are the previous posts in this series: the joys of imperfection Do we really need the latest tech My e-reader made me a worse reader Not everything needs to be in the cloud The inspiration for this post came to me in three ways. Yesterday, I had...
It’s the meteorological start of autumn! I’ve made a little zine filled with tiny poems I wrote about autumn. Most are from years ago, some are brand new. I’ve handwritten them in Procreate. I fear they may be unreadable but I’m sharing them anyway. I’m also posting the separate images below, thanks to zine cutter,...
It’s so funny, sometimes I have a great idea for another blog post, but then I tell myself: STOP! You can’t post more things on one day on your blog! That’s just silly. Who said that? Who wrote the law that says: thou shalth not post more than once a day on thine blog? The blog police? God? Ugh!!!! So done with...
I can’t believe it, it’s the end of August and I’ve posted every day this month! I’m so bloody grateful. I finally have a routine in my blogging again, after years of struggling. Forcing myself to post something every day also made me look outside of the usual things I post, made me experiment, made me feel such joy...
dear creative soul is a series of letters from my creative heart to yours Dear Creative Soul, Have you ever been hit by a swarm of gnats on a warm summer day? If you have, you know they buzz around your head in great numbers, and all you can think of is, “I need to get away from them as soon as humanly possible!”...
