I craft, I laugh, I fall over a lot! I eat far to much cheese and I'm here to show life doesn't stop with a broken brain
I'm just taking a minute out of my day to give a big shout out for 'The Great Believers' by Rebecca Makkai. Wow what an incredible piece of writing. This profound novel will stay with me for many years to come. #booksky

So chuffed to reach this milestone on Duolingo. It doesn't matter if I feel like crap or its Christmas, I push through and keep with my daily brain training schedule - and learnt a new language in the process. #duolingo #duolingostreak

Good news! I have just found the 'safe place' where I stored the Christmas cards I'd planned to use last year. 🤣🤣

I can't share this as yet on Instagram because it will spoil the surprise, but as I am pretty chuffed how they came out I'm sharing on here instead. I made some candle flowers for a good friend of mine. I hope to pass them on later today.

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. Whilst many friends really enjoyed this book, it was not for me, I found holes in the plot and found the story hard work. But it would be a dull world if we all liked the same books.

My homemade teacup candles scented with Earl Grey and Cucumber. I'm feeling pretty pleased with the final result.

I turn 50 next month, knowing how much I enjoy an advent calendar (well, who doesn't enjoy a Ferrero Rocher & a cuppa to start off a day?) my sister has made me birthday countdown box. Inside: 50 bags, one per day until my birthday.
Today's treat, crafting items & prosecco. So incredibly thoughtful.

A daisy for Daisy. A little creation that I made in memory of my pup Daisy who we lost in October. It will be hung in the front garden, a place she loved to be. Made using wire & glass beads so it can glisten in the sun. 💕
