Let’s go for a seven-day-streak, just to make WP send me another notification… Since I am staying away from Twitter these days, I have to get my Social Media fix on other platforms. So on my daily skulk on IG, I noticed this.
I spot a new profile pic. Presumably also from the shoot with Caitlyn Mikayla That shoot has definitely resulted in a large variety of shots with different looks and poses,…
Four-day-streak with yet another shrine. But before that another word about the charity sale. First of all:
All buyers (up to time of writing) should have received an automated notification from Etsy by now that the items are on their way to them. Both Kate and I have dispatched our items so far. Kate’s tags and RAngels have sold out, as have the pocket shrines. A couple of new orders came in…
RA Pocket Shrine 267/? - HooRay [And Hooray Indeed]
RA Pocket Shrine 267/? – HooRay [And Hooray Indeed]
A huge big thank you to all readers here for their prompt and shopping-happy reaction on yesterday’s charity flash sale. Even without prior notice, orders came pouring in within minutes of publishing my blog post. Kate’s tags and RAngels were hot sellers, with all but one, single tag snapped up last night. A huge massive thank you to Kate for donating her fabulous creative work, as well as to all…
Maybe you have already guessed what I was gearing up to, with two shrines in quick succession… Well, the post title says it all: With the horrible war and the successive refugee crisis going on in Ukraine, I wondered how I could help (beyond my own donation a couple of weeks ago). The obvious answer is to sell some of my crafty stuff and donate the proceeds to refugee relief. I had already jumped…
The little swap I did with Kate the other day, was truly inspiring. Restriction can often lead to inspiration, and so it was with the 5 item swap. As a reminder, this is what Kate sent to me.
While I settled on the black cardboard, the fabric swatch, the gold leaf and the dagger and bell, two other materials initially spoke to me: The silver pipe cleaner and the silver crocodile skin paper.…
The weekend has begun and I am not quite where I want to be. Work-wise. I have a bit of a list of projects that I have to tick off, but instead I spent the morning chatting with our friend from Ukraine. Well, he‘s not *from* Ukraine but he used to work there. I mentioned him a couple of weekends ago when he stopped by on his way to Cuba. He has now returned from his holiday and is stopping over…
My great annual Social Media hiatus has started. That is a bit of a misnomer, as I am only staying away from Twitter. I haven’t been active on FB for years, so no need to rein myself in there, and IG is also not a major time-thief for me. So, since Ash Wednesday I have stayed away from Twitter, and I apologise should anyone have sent me DMs or tweeted at me there – I am not checking messages,…
The world as it is today cannot go unmentioned even here in this ‘happy place’. With Russia invading Ukraine, war has become tangible in Europe. I am old enough to feel catapulted back in the times of the Cold War. Even though I was a child back then, I was keenly aware of an ever-present threat – due to living in the centre of Europe, right at the line that marked the border between East and…
Good day to you. Hope you haven’t been blown away by Storms Dudley and Eunice. Northern and Central Europe got a bit of a battering these last couple of days. Ireland as usual gets the first hit of the storms, coming in from the Atlantic. We had the whole yellow-orange-red scale of storm warnings in Ireland, but Dublin was not particularly badly hit, thanks to its situation on the East coast.…
Well, it’s V-Day, and the master has spoken: https://twitter.com/RCArmitage/status/1493246274610647057 The East Coast cell phone network has just broken down… You *must* check the tweet and read through the comments – the puns and replies are just . But yeah, new photo, right? Not sure whether he is really waiting for a call – or hiding . Or observing us? I wonder who took the photo? It’s not…
’We wanted Thorin to be “great” in the true sense of the word. Someone we would remember and who was worthy to be spoken about in Tolkien’s universe for years to come’.
Summary: After your encounter with Thorin, you both have to force yourselves to remain professional to keep your relationship a secret from your colleagues, which is proving to be a challenge.

The cold surface of the wooden door presses hard against my shoulders as Thorin traps me with his broad chest. His kiss is eager and his strength renewed, like the memory of our combined high is mysteriously erased from his memory. I let my hands run over his shirt that is now tucked properly down in his navy trousers and our heated kiss turns to soft giggles as we force our lips apart. He gives me a challenging but playful bite on my lower lip, and I breathe in his intoxicating scent and hug him tightly. Then he rests his forehead tenderly against mine. I don’t want to leave, but I hear myself say, ”I need to go now, I can’t stay here all morning.” The disappointed look in his azure eyes makes me want to seal the door, ignore everything beyond it and succumb to him once more. But then he smiles softly and nods. ”It’s probably for the best. Mahal knows what will happen if you stay.”
Oh, the wait was well worth is. I loved that Kili got so much screen time I have a feeling that he will be the first to find out when they can’t keep it a secret. It was very entertaining and hot
