Gluten still sucks, but it seems that small updatey posts are a Thing I Can Manage, so yay? Here we go? Anyway, I finished the latest book on the weekend, so that’s exciting, especially since writing is vey hit-and-miss this year. This one started out as a probable short story, but I was writing without […]

Peanut ponies this week. I didn’t meant for them to be peanut ponies necessarily when I started, but then I kind of settled on a style and remembered this book I had as a kid that had templates for drawing what were called ‘peanut ponies’ because of the shape of their face. I can’t find

6 weeks into this gluten-consumption rubbish and the anxiety is whirling. On the one hand, boo hiss this totally sucks. On the other hand, at least it’s concrete evidence that gluten is responsible, and suggests that managing anxiety will be much easier in the future once I’m allowed to go back off gluten? (2 weeks+

This is literally how I do maths. I tried explaining it to my Year 5 or 6 teacher (I forget which but I think it was Year 6) and he nearly died at me. What’s 26 – 18? Well, you need 2 more to get from 18 to 20, and 2 + 6 is 8,

And now that I am back on the gluten hard-core, as it were, the symptoms are all piling back on, and eww ick gross. Basically. So

Cake! Made this lil fellow at my in-laws’ house over the holidays on the spur of the moment, so I didn’t have any of my equipment etc with me. I had to get a bit creative at times, but overall I think it turned out okay 🙂 This was for a kid’s birthday party. Milk

Last year was one of my slowest reading years for quite a while. I’m not surprised, given the frenetic pace, but it’s something I’m fixing this year, not least because my brain is threatening to melt and I really just need the recharge time. So, this school holidays, I decided to do a mini challenge

So we were on holidays last week at the rellies’, which was fun 🙂 As part of our day with cousins and dogs and sandpits and fun, my sister-in-law convinced me to do some craft with the kids. I am such a fan of craft for kids… in principle. In practise, I suck at this,

Baby things this week, from a week ago, because we had an order that, for some ridiculous reason, was for a product we didn’t have made up? I was so sure I’d taken down all the listings for things we didn’t have made up. Apparently not >.< The poor customer had to wait like a
