Tinker Bell Dress
To celebrate the birth of my friend’s baby daughter, I once again felt the itch to make something. Over the years, I’ve built up the habit of crocheting blankets as baby gifts, but funnily enough that didn’t even cross my mind this time. No, this time I wanted to knit a little dress. It had been a while since I…

Page & Wick #9: July 2025
My Page & Wick box for July was heavily delayed. And this time it wasn’t the fault of the couriers, but due to problems at Page & Wick themselves. I didn’t follow the updates all that closely, but apparently there were issues with the printers, followed by a failed quality check, which in the end resulted in a delay of…

Read in August 2025
August turned out to be another rather modest reading month, with even fewer finished books than in July. Still, I ended up with a slightly higher page count. I wrapped up the hefty sci-fi I mentioned back in July and filled the rest of the month with some lighter picks, such as a fantasy romance by a beloved author and…

Fairyloot Adult #42: August 2025
No way I was going to skip the FairyLoot Adult box for August. Even before the theme was officially announced, everyone basically knew which book would be included. We’re talking about a hugely popular author, one FairyLoot clearly loves, and one with a brand-new release in August. Since I also loved the one book I’ve already read by this author,…

On the go #15: Kpop Demon Hunters Edition
My creative outbursts are currently completely devoted to Kpop Demon Hunters. My nieces and nephews have been in the thrall of this Netflix film for a while now, and yes, thanks to them, I also ended up on the sofa on a summery Saturday evening to watch the film. I must admit that I completely understand the hype. The film…

Illumicrate #35: August 2025
At the end of August, I already received the Illumicrate box for the month. It almost felt too soon, as I thought I had only just unpacked the July box. But since the July edition turned out to be such a gem, I was, of course, absolutely thrilled to open this one. I was extremely curious to see whether Illumicrate…

The Broken Binding Fantasy Sub #8: May-June-July 2025
Three months have flown by once again, which means I’ve received another complete fantasy trilogy in my The Broken Binding subscription. Even before I had received the second book of the previous series, The Broken Binding had already revealed what their series for May, June, and July would be. The next trilogy comes from a veteran in the field: Raymond…

Birthday Hugs with Bluey
Coming up with ideas for birthday presents seems to get trickier every year. There are so many lovely toys and clothes I’d still like to make, but at the same time I sometimes worry I’m repeating myself a bit too much. A jumper here, a cuddly toy there… after a while it feels as if I’m always giving the same…

Illumicrate #34: July 2025
At the beginning of June, Illumicrate announced the theme for their July box. They immediately revealed that the book of the month would be an adult romantasy debut. To be honest, as soon as I know that Illumicrate’s pick of the month is an adult title, I rarely even consider skipping the box. Lately I’ve been really impressed with the…

Newcastle, Scottish Borders and Oasis in Edinburgh
Alongside my K-pop adventure in Amsterdam, there was another huge music event on the agenda this summer: Oasis in Edinburgh! We had been holding on to those coveted tickets for almost a year, so expectations were sky-high. Across the Channel Not long after my early return from the rainy camping trip along the Moselle, I set off again with two…
