Hey all, it’s the end of July and I thought it would be nice to catch up with you on what I’ve been up to in the past weeks and what I’m currently working on. So grab a cup of whatever you like to drink […]

A Spring of Birds, Dandelion Puffs and Wool
Hi all! Can you believe we are already in mid May? The past weeks turned out bleak with women’s reproductive rights being taken away in America and with it we add another grim chapter to a series that has been really sad and depressive already. […]
Lopapeysa in Winter and Tracks in the Snow
Hey all, I mentioned last week how winter decided to make a visit, and how I wanted to make the most of the frozen landscape by getting out there as much as time and Covid regulations would allow. Before I move on with some more […]
