The Small Things Spreading Joy in December

January 7, 2023

So, this is the fifth month of posting daily small things that spread joy. It’s doing me no end of good and, judging by the messages I’ve received on the various social media sites I post them on, it seems to be brightening other people’s days too. I’m so pleased that this is helping other … More The Small Things Spreading Joy in December

Still going, still necessary, still joyful. If you’re reading this and don’t know what it’s all in aid of then the post explaining everything is here and if you missed last month then that post is here. Now, without further ado, here are all the photos I shared over on Twitter for the month: The … More The Small Things Spreading Joy in October

The Small Things Spreading Joy in September

October 13, 2022

My quest to find calm in the middle of the maelstrom that is the world continued unabated through September. If I’m honest this project has felt even more necessary with every day that passes and it has definitely helped me to keep hold of hope when I might otherwise have given in to despair. I … More The Small Things Spreading Joy in September

This Sparks Joy! Summer 22 edition

September 17, 2022

Starting with the last of the summer joys first because Netflix released Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman on 5 August and as of the date of posting I have watched the main series three times and the bonus episode twice times. It is wonderful. Dreamy* even. I cried multiple times, with episode 6 using the most … More This Sparks Joy! Summer 22 edition

This Sparks Joy! Spring 22 edition

June 14, 2022

Spring really is my favourite season; the gloriousness of the woods and fields and garden blossoming into life lifts my spirits in a way nothing else can manage. To that end you’ll find a selection of photos from my last visit to Sissinghurst Gardens at the bottom of this post but before I wow you … More This Sparks Joy! Spring 22 edition

June 30, 2021

My “footsteps in the sand” rectangular shawl from my mystery yarn box is almost complete but, frustratingly, I reached the end of my yarn cake before I finished the last 3 rows of the edging. So I’m 23,120 stitches down with 1,020 stitches waiting for the additional yarn which thankfully is on the way from … More Kizzia Crafts: May & June 2021

This is going to be a very short update as most of the month has been spent working on a project I can’t share yet! The half fingered gloves arrived with their intended recipient a week after my last craft post and both they and the person who commissioned them are thrilled, so I’m very … More Kizzia Crafts: April 2021

Kizzia Crafts: March 2021

March 27, 2021

I have been wanting to get into digital art for quite a while but having made some very unsatifactory things with either my finger on a tablet or a cursor on a screen I’d shelved the attempts until I could get my hands on a tablet and pen. Three guesses who now has such a … More Kizzia Crafts: March 2021

A cake of Scheepjes yarn (Petrol Please Me 1000m Whirl) sits on a desk covered with black starburst fabric. Next to it and behind it is draped a half finished crocheted poncho, in various shades of petrol blue. At the front of the picture, sitting on top of the corner of the crochet, is a multicoloured crochet hook on which you can just read "3.5mm".

It’s been a mostly crochet month for me, with two large projects on the go that have taken up the majority of my crafting time. I had hoped to also do some sketching and begin creating a celtic knot bookmark design but my brain weasels are not interested in anything that does not involve yarn … More Kizzia Crafts: January 2021
