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…

Genre blanket: August
Finally some more progress in my genre blanket of 2022! Since we are already quite far into the first month of 2023, I have put the idea of making another bookish blanket in the closet this year. I thought about it for a while, because it really is a very cool concept with surprising results. But since I still have…

Rule of thumb
The very first wearable item I ever made were crocheted fingerless mittens. Since then I crochet at least one pair of them almost every year. Over the years I have developed my own method of making them and have collected a lot of notes from each new pair I make, tweaking and improving my pattern a bit each time. Granted,…

Genre blanket: July
I’m quite a bit behind on my genre blanket these days. All my crafting time has been spent on knitting lately, but more on that in a next post 😉 I only just finished July in my genre blanket, and unfortunately haven’t gotten further along with the other months yet. There’s just so much I want to do, and so…

Genre blanket: June
June turned out to be another good and varied reading month, albeit a bit more Sci-Fi heavy than usual, but that’s a genre I want to read more of anyway. In total I read nine books spread over 6 different genre blanket genres. Juni genres 1. Sci-Fi 2. Thriller 3. Sci-Fi 4. YA Fantasy 5. Historical Romance 6. Sci-Fi 7.…

Genre blanket: May
After the profilic reading month of April, May became a slightly more relaxed month in terms of books read. In total I finished five books, all in a different genre, meaning that I could add another five different colours to my genre blanket! Mei genres 1. Adult Fantasy 2. Mystery 3. YA Fantasy 4. Horror 5. Romance Recently I got…

Genre blanket: April
April was a very prolific reading month, due to the first semester of the new magical readathon by G. Readathons always motivate me to read a lot and this was definitely the case in April, where I read a total of 16 books. This of course also meant quite a lot of crocheting for my genre blanket, for which I…

Baby Yoda
It is not uncommon for me to hand out homemade gifts. Sometimes this is for a reason (birthdays and births, etc.) and sometimes I just wanted to make something, but have no place or use for it myself. For example, I have already distributed crochet critters to colleagues at work, who are fans of something or other. One colleague had…

My secret santa gift
They say that you can look back at the previous year until the end of January. If that’s the case, I’m totally going to ignore that rule, since I’m a little behind with my overviews of 2017. I still have at least 4 posts under way, but that’s not the reason for this post. In this post, I want to…

Made another security blanket
I’ve been neglecting this place again, haven’t I? These last two weeks were a bit *meh*. I had to briefly go to Finland again for work and once I got back I wasn’t feeling 100%. But I never feel sick enough to justify to myself to stay home and I also don’t easily go to the doctor. So I kept…
