what people mean when they say that life slips by in the blink of an eye. On the whole, I am very happy with where I find myself on the approach to my 50th birthday.

I'm Stephanie, 48 and luckily retired. Having suffered from life limiting ailments for most of my life I am interested in finding alternative methods to health and happiness. I hope to share my findings to other ladies of a certain age to try out.
One month of sustainable makes
At the beginning of January I took the decision to start to make a concerted effort to start using up my stash. My aim is to create one off pieces that showcase how recycled fabrics and clothes can be used to make new ones.
One Year of Sustainable Crafting
My aim for the year, is to showcase what can be created and made using sustainable materials. The ideal scenario will be to use what I already have to hand.
January 2019
January, time for New Year’s Resolutions, or not, as the case may be. I’m not a fan, but I do like setting out a list of things to aim for during the year
Looking back on 2018
Last year I read an article in Moments magazine about keeping a memories jar. The idea is to write down one positive thing that happened each week and store them in a jar.
18 for 2018
At the start of 2018 I planned 18 things that I was hoping to complete during the year. Some habit driven, some one off events.
Happy progress
I’ve been working on being more visible! I find it very difficult to share pictures of myself enjoying my craft – but here I am at work in my craft room in Portugal.
Moving on
Sadly, my 100 Day Project came to an end. Despite my best efforts there was just no way I was going to get it off the ground.
Trials and tribulations
I tend to be a think and go sort of person and don’t usually take time to plan.
The 100 Day Project
I’m not the fastest at crochet, or sewing, or knitting, at most things to be honest, but I am quite patient and quite thorough. As a consequence it means I don’t churn out a vast number of projects in a short amount of time
