My First Bullet Journal
I cannot tell you how often I’ve been told to ‘just get a planner’. It’s one of those endlessly annoying rites of passage everyone with ADHD experiences at some stage. We get it; we forget things. š¤ The problem is, like basically every other ADHDer out there, I’ve tried my fair share of planners. Sometimes,…

Quick and Easy Crochet – Fruit & Veggies
So, of course, I was going to make a bunch of amigurumi fruit and veggies. The potential for adorable was just too high to ignore. š¤£ And to keep things interesting, I designed all of the patterns myself. I could’ve found great amigurumi fruit and veggie patterns online, but I learn better while doing, and…

Quick and Easy Crochet – Granny Square Backpack
As is typical of my brand of ADHD, I didn’t start my crochet journey with the easy stuff. I fell head-first into intermediate projects, which resulted in a lot of unravelling and re-crocheting. I do the same thing when I write novels. š I get so excited that I skip the groundwork and dive into…

And now I find myself obsessed with wood-and-resin furniture. Thanks, Black Forest Wood Co. š I can’t be trusted around power…

My First Experience with a Silicone Clay Mould
I’ve had a few of these on my wish list for quite some time, so I’m stoked to have received a silicone mould (mold in the US) as a part of my birthday haul. On that note, my husband had the really awesome idea to bring me to Michaels and let me pick out all…

Check out my Art
My site tagline says ‘author, blogger, artist,’ but Iām notorious for neglecting the artist part. We’re going to remedy that today! During my stint on Patreon, I illustrated various sticker sheets and other printables, including bohemian landscapes, yummy beverages, mermaids, and more. Sadly, my illustrations became dusty after my Patreon page ceased to exist. But…

New Experiences – Spring Market
I attended my first ever craft market as a vendor on Saturday. Was I a ball of anxiety/anticipation? Yes. Yes, I was. But was it worth it? Totally. You know, putting yourself out there in this way is super scary. What if people don’t like my product? What if I don’t sell enough to cover…
