When you're still feeling rebellious! But you're getting older now...🤣

By the time you reach a certain age you've officially run out of 'cares'. Society may still be telling women to have a quiet voice & pleasant opinions but you've graduated to bigger concerns - inequality, injustice & whether the kettle has boiled yet

You didn't survive your forties to be told you're too much. Too loud? Too opinionated? Too bloody glorious? Hang this up and own every inch of it!

When someone tries to give you a task to do because 'you're not doing anything' and you’re like 'Excuse me?! In my mind I’m solving 14 problems, designing a new project, working out what to have for dinner and replaying that weird thing I said in 2007!'

It's been a while since I shared a medieval meme, but this one made me laugh 😂

I hate to talk about Christmas so early, but just a bit of a nudge to say that if you're looking to make a small cross stitched gift for your bestie, you might want to buy the pattern now and get started. Future you will thank you! 😄 🎅

Available on Etsy and Ko-fi (where it's cheaper...shhh😉)

Only just remembered to do my September reading round up. Did a bit better last month - ended up focusing more on audiobooks, so managed to double August's tally 😄📚

When someone gives you work to do because 'you're not doing anything at the moment' and you’re like 'Excuse me?! In my mind I’m solving 14 problems, designing a new project, working out what to have for dinner & replaying that weird thing I said in 2007!'
