I felt like writing a fun post and then I was storing away my pens and I had the idea, also perfect because I have this on both my blog post list and on my slashpages list :) This is the contents of my pencil case, satisfyingly knolled. I have these things with me at all times for two purposes: paper planning and...

I’ve bought one of those digital picture frame, and I added the picture folders that I’ve sorted through to it. When my husband and I were watching the slideshow, this picture came up, and I sighed, “I thought I’d already sorted these, but boy, it needs another pass!” We both laughed, and continued to watch the...

I’ve made something today to help me use my phone less. It’s a little background for my lock screen. Here is how it looks. And boy, it’s effective! I tend to pick up my phone so often, to do simple searches or to read Mastodon, it’s ridiculous! I even do it when I have my laptop in my lap! I want to remind myself...

Last week I started a new way of doing weeknotes and I love it. I also still updated my now page, which is a bonus good thing for this past week 😀 Here are my 5 good things for week 41. 🎬 my husband and I watched John Wick 1 and 2, and what I loved the most is us alternating exclamations of “what???” “How???” and...

This is the seventh post in my 'hitting the digital brakes'-series on changing how I use technology and where I stopped using it altogether. These are the previous posts: the joys of imperfection Do we really need the latest tech My e-reader made me a worse reader Not everything needs to be in the cloud Anti AI? Be...

I felt I lost my vibe with blogging by the end of September. I felt disheartened. I could see that sadness and restlessness weighed me down, but that didn’t help much. I reflected on what happened in the past with these feelings. Every time, no fail, I quit my blog and started all over again, because the weight was...

I’m using neatstats for my blog as a beta tester (it’s a service from omg.lol and I love it!). Today I was not feeling well and I needed to write something fun but had no idea. I saw the link to the stats in my bookmarks bar, and was curious to see what posts were clicked on the most. I needed a little confidence...

On Mastodon I try to write a list of 3 good things every day. It’s such a great habit to have and I decided that, instead of attempting to update my now page, I’d make this post, wildly inspired by this post by cygnoir! I’ve finished a headband in nålebinding and I love it so much! Just look at the beautiful pattern...

l’ve started to learn several new crafts with wool this year, but none impacts me as much as nålebinding, a craft where you use a wooden or bone sewing needle to create woollen objects like mittens, headbands, hats or circle scarves. a nålebinding needle in a couple rows of stitches Above is my current on the go...

This is my Filofax Clipbook personal size. I thought it would be fun to show you what’s in it, mostly because I love to share how I use this for both planning and creativity. This is a special kind of filofax with the rings sticking through the cover and a wide spine, which means you can fold over this Filofax to...

This idea jumped in my head when I pondered my blog and it set up a whirlwind of thoughts. Time to get them out of my head and on my blog. The reason for writing this list is that when words just don’t want to get posted, focusing on the who may help you to write. In random order, I write my blog for: myself. My aim...

Dear Creative Soul, For years I dreamed of being the kind of person carrying around notebooks everywhere. Sitting on a park bench staring at a tree, taking my time writing a poem, or lingering in beautful cafe’s and writing something profound while sipping a cup of tea. To sustain that dream I wrecked my back...
