Let the Research Begin!

This week I have been focusing on trying to find things to make for the show in August. I have definitely decided to do it and have been excitedly looking up everything I can, to get tips on what needs to be done for a good stand. The debates around the need for a gazeboContinue reading “Let the Research Begin!”

Work in Progress Wednesday

I see people post their WIPs on Instagram every Wednesday and so I’ve decided to do that here because I am too tired to have an original thought today 🤣 When I started crocheting I had no idea what this new language meant! WIP, SC, HOTH , frogging, blocking, the list goes on. But overContinue reading “Work in Progress Wednesday”

Could this Bee any cuter?!?!

I’m really enjoying my journey through different amigurumi patterns at the moment. The possibility of participating in my first craft sale in an outdoor market type setting has arisen and I’m both excited and terrified at the prospect. I’ve been trying out so many different patterns, trying to find that elusive thing that I canContinue reading “Could this Bee any cuter?!?!”

Dear Diary- I’ve been totally neglecting you, please forgive me!

18th June already! This year is flying by. I don’t seem to be able to keep up with all my goals from the start of the year but I happen to be big into the practice of self-compassion so I won’t beat myself up about it 😂 There really is no point in me tryingContinue reading “Dear Diary- I’ve been totally neglecting you, please forgive me!”

Garrucha ❤️

Mr E and I headed off to our lovely apartment in the fab Spanish seaside town of Garrucha at Easter. It was just what we needed after the horrible bout of Covid we both had and all the stress I had been suffering at work. It was 9 days of bliss and it just getsContinue reading “Garrucha ❤️”

I’m happy to say I put those lovely Easter baskets up for sale on the Shop In Ireland website. All bunnies are isolating at the moment to make sure none of my Covid germs get on them. Hopefully I’ll get a sale or two in the coming week. I know I say it all theContinue reading “Latest items for Sale”

Greetings from Sunny Ireland

Covid has finally hit us here in the Egan household. We have been very lucky to avoid it this far. While Mr. E is very sick and suffering some very severe symptoms, I have gotten away with a sore throat, headaches and a bit of pressure in my chest. My antigens have been negative soContinue reading “Greetings from Sunny Ireland”

Quick Update

So I haven’t been posting on my blog for a few weeks now. I have felt my ramblings on here are unnecessary and inconsequential considering the awful events unfolding in Ukraine. My heart is heavy with sadness and worry for those poor people. And I cannot understand how this can be happening while the restContinue reading “Quick Update”

I Want to Colour the Whole Country Green

I saw someone from the UK do this on Instagram and thought it was a great idea. The idea is that you colour in a county when you have a sale there. So I went back to when I started selling in November 2020 and filled in every county so far. I think I willContinue reading “I Want to Colour the Whole Country Green”

Weekly Update: 24th -30th January 2022 + 31st January – 6th Feb (A double dose)

When I started my blog at the end of December, I had planned to post twice weekly. I felt that was manageable. But so far that has proved beyond me as it’s taking me a while to get to grips with WordPress and everything that goes into making interesting content. Then on top of thatContinue reading “Weekly Update: 24th -30th January 2022 + 31st January – 6th Feb (A double dose)”
