On the go #7
I’m one of those bloggers who isn’t really good at writing about unfinished things. I always wait to write about something when I’ve finished it and go “LOOK WHAT I MADE!”. However, I always enjoy reading posts about ongoing projects, because I like to see projects grow and evolve. Plus, I think if I talked more about the things I’m…

Unboxing Secret Project #3
Since the start of these Secret Projects, Dragonsteel has had some delays in sending out the physical books, due to a combination of problems with the printers and shipping companies. Personally, I don’t really mind, since we do received the books in e-book format in our inbox the first of the month anyway. Meanwhile, the delays seem to be all…

Owlcrate catch-up project
Between 2015 and 2020 I had a sporadic subscription to Owlcrate’s bookbox service, an American monthly subscription focused on Young Adult Fantasy books and fandoms. For me, Owlcrate was the first time I heard of such a book service and as soon as I did I was sold. So not long after hearing about it, I got myself a subscription.…

Read in July 2023
July also remained a bit of a lukewarm reading month. On the one hand, I really had the desire to dive into a book, but on the other hand, it was very difficult for me to get into any of the books I selected. In the end, I still finished 9 books in July, amounting to 3213 pages. The average…

Review Secret Project #3: Yumi and the Nightmare Painter
In March 2022, author Brandon Sanderson announced that he had secretly written five additional books. He decided to offer four of those Secret Projects in a non-traditional way, through self-publishing funded by the most successful Kickstarter campaign ever. Since Brandon Sanderson is one of my favorite fantasy authors, I decided to support this campaign in order to get my hands…

Orbit the dragon with wings
A while back I crocheted Orbit the dragon from the free pattern by Projectarian. Initially I wanted to combine the dragon’s cute ears with the wings available in the expansion pack, but I eventually decided against it. However, I did decide that I would one day crochet the expansion pack dragon with wings. It took me quite a while, but…

Reading journal June 2023
For my June reading journal theme, I opted for a softer, more romantic style, again inspired by some images from Pinterest. Or no, actually, the idea mainly came about while I was browsing for some fonts I could imitate by hand. This was when I came across one incorporating flowers. From this idea, the whole layout came together, using the…

Retro culottes
This one was finished a while ago, but – you guesses it – I forgot to blog about it 😅. When I had guests over during the spring holiday, we also played and pottered around in the attic for a while. Among other things in my large stash of fabrics. The following one was singled out: “Ooh!!”, one of my…

Unboxing Secret Project #2
I got this box already a while ago, almost three months ago by now, but I neglected writing about it, despite me diligently photographing the unboxing. Yeah, when I’m in a procrastination mood, I don’t do it half heartedly, lol. Which means you’ve got some unboxing posts to look forward to, starting with this Secret Project #2. I posted my…

Genre blanket 2022: December
Yes! It’s finally done! The last stripes of my genre blanket have been crocheted!! I am so happy with the result! In December I read 9 more books across 5 different genres. This time I also read the same genre twice in a row, so that the blanket got two same coloured stripes one after the other. December genres 1.…
