Saturday!!! I’ve been up early because I needed to get the draw for the Porter shrine out of the way in time for the post office. So first things first – the winner has been picked, and the RAPS is on the way to… *drumroll* Congrats, Zee. I hope the letter won’t take forever to…
Kate and my “5 Item Swap” has gone to round 2. ICYMI, it’s a little creative exchange where we swap (a minimum of) 5 craft items in order to inspire a craft project. Kate has explained it much better than me HERE. We are opening the swap to more crafters, btw, so if you are…
It’s been a good long time, but yesterday I was back volunteering at MoLI for the first time. It was almost strange to be in there without a mask hiding half my face, and speaking to the visitors also felt way more personal. I got such a buzz out of chatting to a young American…
Let’s go for a seven-day-streak, just to make WP send me another notification… Since I am staying away from Twitter these days, I have to get my Social Media fix on other platforms. So on my daily skulk on IG, I noticed this. I spot a new profile pic. That shoot has definitely resulted in…
Well, hello, if this isn’t worth a second post today: Erotic Thriller????????? *eeeeeeeeek* See the article by The Hollywood Reporter . I have a sneaky feeling that I watched the earlier screen adaptation with Jeremy Irons way back when. See trailer below. (Possible spoilers!) 🔥🔥🔥🔥 😱 🔥🔥🔥🔥 *coughing fit* And as a mini series no…

Did you know that the history of *all* our fundraisers actually started with an impromptu response to a humanitarian crisis? Way before the fundraisers grew into an annual birthday – and later a holiday season – celebration to funnel our gift budget for Richard into charitable causes, the very first fundraiser on this blog was…
Four-day-streak with yet another shrine. But before that another word about the charity sale. First of all: All buyers (up to time of writing) should have received an automated notification from Etsy by now that the items are on their way to them. Both Kate and I have dispatched our items so far. Kate’s tags…
A huge big thank you to all readers here for their prompt and shopping-happy reaction on yesterday’s charity flash sale. Even without prior notice, orders came pouring in within minutes of publishing my blog post. Kate’s tags and RAngels were hot sellers, with all but one, single tag snapped up last night. A huge massive…
Maybe you have already guessed what I was gearing up to, with two shrines in quick succession… Well, the post title says it all: With the horrible war and the successive refugee crisis going on in Ukraine, I wondered how I could help (beyond my own donation a couple of weeks ago). The obvious answer…
