While we are still waiting for reliable results of the US presidential election, I need some distraction. Just something silly and positive and unpolitical. And so I bring you another shrine reveal. This one has been waiting to be posted for a few weeks now. It was made for Miss LoLo – who is responsible…
Hot… hot… hot… off the press We’ve got two winners for the two 2020 Halloween RAPSes. Randompicker has spoken, and The Great Bite (right) will go to Helen, while the Mini Boo goes to Ilaria. Congratulations, ladies. (I think I still have your addresses, so you can expect a package, soon :-)) As always –…
Did you think that tiny little black box from yesterday was all? Ha, no way! Today is the big day. And here is the great bite! Once again a tin that has been with me for a long time. Was it Kathy or Kelly, or Dele or Donna who sent me this unique mint tin?…
Are you a Halloween fan? I confess, it has never been big in my house. It simply wasn’t part of German folklore when I was growing up, and I was somewhat resistant to the cultural import from the US later on when it became bigger. In Ireland it is pretty big, though, and even though…
The whole virus-enforced retreat into our domestic lives has been really good for my creativity. Over the summer, most of my creative energy went into my Etsy enterprise, and I was busy making my mini books, or sewing face masks, or tinkering with junk journals. My shrining activities kind of fell a bit by the…
Good morning, let’s start the new week with the results of the raffle for the two RAPS minis from the Thornton’s Pearls series. First of all, thank you for all your lovely comments. I went through them all again for the purpose of compiling the list of names to input into Randompicker. I was delighted…
Looks as if today is Creative Day in the Fandom: This morning I saw a post by Rachel about her beautiful RAPS-inspired wooden box of wonders that she created as a present for fellow fan Laura. And I just commented on Kate’s post – which is fittingly entitled “An Embarrassment of Rich(i)es” – where she…
Did you see Ani’s latest unbearably cute cartoon? Couldn’t get this out of my head. I often imagined how Richard and his Mum sat together reading, answering, signing Fan mail 😌(The text is supposed to be funny🙈) #RichardArmitage pic.twitter.com/gpkpt4GErh — Ani 🏳️🌈🐒 (@AniNomori) May 19, 2020 You really have to look at all the details…
I’m not having much luck with the titles for my RAPS post. I just noticed a major slip on the Percy shrine post from two weeks ago. 2018 shrines? Jeepers Creepers. I mean, ok, 200+ mini shrines about that *one* bloke may already look bonkers. But 2,018 would be obsessive! Corrected. *Um* I have just…
A new week in this whole extraordinary time in our lives. How are you keeping? I’ve learnt another thing last week, in that my happiness and mental equilibrium during the crisis does not only depend on the state of my pantry (i.e. that it is well-stocked), but also on my creative output. I have observed…
