Spring Jacket
For Christmas I made my youngest godchild a pair of trendy green linen pants. After making this and a cute little bowtie to go with it, I still had a fair amount of fabric left, which I could use to complete the outfit. So at the beginning of this year I leafed through the available magazines in my sewing class,…

Fairyloot Adult #9: A Dowry of Blood
Originally, Fairyloot’s focus was on Young-Adult Fantasy books, but that changed in 2022 with the launch of their Adult Fantasy Book-Only subscription. As a subscriber to their regular YA subscription, I was given priority to sign up for this new service, and as a book and fantasy enthusiast, I couldn’t resist. I think this book is the earliest I’ve ever…

Reading journal February 2023
My reading journal for February got an accidental Beauty and the Beast theme. I started with a picture I had printed a long time ago of a lady in a beautiful red dress and a beautifully written font of “Februari” combined with a red-grey pattern, which I cut out of a calendar of last year. Those two elements together immediately…

Read in Februari 2023
Although February is the shortest month of the year and there were a number of days I didn’t read at all, I still managed to read almost as much as what I read in January. In total I read 9 books in February, amounting to 3476 pages. The average February book comes to 386 pages/book. In terms of the feel…

Reading journal January 2023
The theme of my January reading journal is no coincidence, of course. Since I was behind on setting up my monthly pages, I could use it to draw inspiration from the books I had already read that month. Of course this was Tress of the Emerald Sea. However, instead of going for a green theme, I was inspired by a…

Unboxing Secret Project #1

Now this beauty can finally be displayed in my bookcase and I’d love to show you the unboxing! This goes without saying, but below are SPOILERS for…

Genre blanket 2022: September
The genre blanket I wanted to make in 2022 is still not completely finished. It grows slowly but steadily. It is clear that I will still keep me busy for a while in 2023. That is why I have completely reconciled myself with my decision not to start a new one for 2023. Otherwise I would completely overstress myself, which…

Reading Journal 2023: Set-up
I wanted to start this post by saying that I’m ridiculously late with this post, until I saw that I actuallly said the exact same thing in my 2022 set-up, which was posted even three days later in the Month of March compared to this post. So it seems that I’m actually early this year! 😝 That being said, come…
