If you’re anything like me, living with a chronic illness means that you’re super low on energy on a daily basis and the chores at home just keep piling up. After months of looking at an untidy bedroom since moving the furniture around some time last year, I’ve decided it’s time to tackle the clutter and turn my room, and house, into the sanctuary it should be: tidy, organised, functional and not to mention beautiful and easy to maintain. How…
Everyday there seems to be something new in the garden. It’s constantly changing. I try to take a walk through the house daily, so I can look out the windows and see the different parts of our garden, it doesn’t always happen, but it’s a goal. And I’ve been careful to stay out of direct sunlight, shading my eyes better this week, after my sun-induced crash recently. Looking Back On The Past Week I’ve spent much of this week in…
Most people with chronic illness have experienced anxiety or panic at some point. It’s not always a condition on it’s own, but commonly is a symptom of other illnesses that affect the autonomic nervous system. There are many ways to reduce anxiety and stress, but today I will be sharing a fun and creative craft project that will help you restore calm to your world – the Twiddle Muff! If you’ve ever met somebody with mental health or even chronic…
After moving to our new house last week, we hung our first bird feeder out on Monday and waited (im)patiently for the birds to come eat, but they didn’t. No birds to be seen at all. We were disappointed, but I knew that they would come – they just had to discover the spread first.

Welcome to our garden! We have just moved into a lovely new house and this one has a garden! I am beyond excited about being able to see the gorgeous views of nature from different windows around the house. I have always enjoyed bird-watching and nature walks, so this is an incredible joy for me. We hope to learn more about the inhabitants of our garden, and do our part to support them and protect them year round. I will…
I’ve completed my second knitting project! So pleased with this one. It was so much fun knitting it too. It’s a kit called “Bianca” in such rich Autumn colours. I completed it last night and this morning, once my headache subsided, I added the fringe. Between the dozing off, that is. Terrible flare this past week, absolutely floored. Muscle pain all over, exhaustion, headaches, joint pains, and this overpowering sleepiness (different to the exhaustion) – all more than usual. But…
Celebrating my first completed knitting project since I was about ten years old! I have been trying to knit a scarf with this one ball of wool for years and years, I’ve knitted and undone it so many times over and last night I finally completed it. One ball obviously wasn’t enough for a full scarf, so it’s been turned into a twisted neck warmer. I think it’s officially called an infinity scarf – it’s so warm and soft too!…
