As you may be aware, I recently spent as month in Denmark, in fact its already a month since I’ve been back home.  I’ve been wanting to share a little of my experience (and purchases) with you and decided if I put this off any longer, it will all just be a distant memory.  I…

I can’t believe that I am actually writing this post from Denmark.  I am very blessed to have this learning experience. Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark, but weirdly it sits on an island and not on the mainland.  This post is however, not about Copenhagen itself, but about an exhibition I saw at the…

It’s only March, but do you, like me feel that it seems like a whole year has passed already.  January was a busy month and then February just passed by before I knew it, and every time I finished something, it seemed like there were 10 more items requiring my attention, but it’s always better…

I’ve decided to kickstart this year with a post, if I don’t, the next time I would probably say something to you would be December 2022, asking where has the year gone.  So, let’s conservatively aim for a monthly post and if I have anything additional to share then perhaps something in between, but let…

Every year around this time, I realise that I had great intentions of becoming a world-famous craft blogger and then I don’t publish anything for a whole year.  Here, we are again – the end of another year, 2021 is quickly drawing to a close. At the beginning of this year, I started with live…

Wow, is it really December already?  What a weird year this has been.  In March just before lockdown, we closed the office as a precautionary measure, packed up what we thought we just couldn’t work without and went home. A workspace had to be created and the initial assumption was that it would be temporary…

Why socks?  To be honest, it just seemed so impossible.  Earlier this year I had this idea that I should really try knitting socks.  I didn’t even know what a magic loop was.  During the lockdown, I sent my husband to the wool shop to buy me double pointed needles.  He returned with 2 sets, because he didn’t…

I am part of a coaching programme at work, which is supposed to focus on me achieving work-related goals, but the coach and I spend a lot of time focusing on just me, and how to be a better, calmer, less stressed me.  I find that one of the things that should bring me most…

Ummmm…say what? Yes, you read correctly – Diamond Painting Notebooks. I am so excited to be able to bring something new to my fellow South Africans.  The diamond painting craze has become really popular over the past few years and the concept has really appealed to me, because I love cross stitch, so it is…

It’s been a struggle being back at work, but I’ve had help. My mother-in-law spent a month with us, so I didn’t have to worry about preparing dinner for Roger and Matthew, but she has sadly left on Sunday and we are still trying to find our new routine, both in the morning and evening….
