About me
Hello there! Although I have a short "about me" section at the side of the blog, I thought it would be fun to expand on it a little.
I'm a Catholic young woman who enjoys doing crafty things. Knitting, sewing, and crochet are my favourites, but I'll give almost anything a go. I love making my own clothes, and I dream of having a wardrobe full of homemade pieces.
I want to sew a dress like this.
I enjoy reading. Jane Austen is my favourite author, but I like Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Georgette Heyer, G.K. Chesterton, Agatha Christie, Rumer Godden, J.R.R. Tolkien... almost anything that's intelligently and well written.
I enjoy music. I play the piano, and I have a long list of pieces I aspire to play. I want to learn the organ some day. I sing soprano in a choir, and I love it.
I started blogging to write about my hobbies, but I also like blogging about films and my opinions on them, life, and anything that takes my fancy!
Hello, Cecilia! It's nice to make your acquaintance. I found your blog through your comment on Megan's "Only Mildly Mad" blog. Your scarves on your business site are beautiful! <3 I love knitting and creating too. Great list of authors. I've only read "In This House of Brede" by Godden, but I loved it. I sing soprano in the choir as well! Do you attend a Latin Mass? Have a wonderful Easter season!! God bless you!
ReplyDeleteHello, Sarah! So lovely to meet you - I've been reading through everything on your blog, but since Christmas I've been horribly disorganised in the blogosphere so I haven't commented... Thank you! <3 What do you like to knit?? "In This House of Brede" is the reason why Godden is one of my favourites - it is So. Good., isn't it? Singing soprano is fun :D until one gets crazily high notes (which is sometimes fun, but frequently painful ;) ) Yes, I do! Not exclusively, but 90% of the time, I do! Do you? Have a great Easter too, and God bless!
DeleteThat's ok, I fell off the face of blogger too! XD Hoping to get back into it now. I mostly knit accessories like dishcloths/washcloths, lanyards, baby gifts (booties, blankets, sweaters), and scarves and hats. I have yet to knit a cardigan or pullover sweater for myself. Yes! Have you seen the movie starring Diana Rigg? I watched the movie first, but loved the book because it was even better. That's wonderful! I do attend the Latin Mass, although I partly grew up going to the NO. I thank God that He's brought me to this beautiful Mass that gives Him the greatest honor and glory. Thank you so much!
DeleteOh, I love knitting things like that too! Baby gifts are super cute to make, and dishcloths are also fun (and economical). I've knitted one jumper/sweater for myself, but to be honest I find making smaller things more fun. No, I haven't - would you recommend it? I thank Him for the same thing! :)
