New Year, New Me?

4 January 2022

Nope, don’t be silly, still the same ol’ me. 

New Year, New me! Nope, don’t be silly, still the same ol’ me. 


Just because the year changes one number up the scale, doesn’t mean that I need to make grand gestures to change too. 


I’m quite happy as I am thank you very much, I hope you are too. Of course there are things about ourselves that we always feel we could do better, but as I get older I really don’t care much about those things anymore. I’m happy in my own skin, as wrinkled and fragile as it might be getting. 


I don’t need to plaster my face with layers of expensive and pointless chemicals to make myself feel good (I can’t even see it).


I don’t need to give my hard earned cash to a fancy pants gym that charges a fortune for me to walk a few miles on the spot with a view of someone who has all the latest gym wear and a face supported by the local beauty therapist. I can exercise by running up and down my stairs a million times a day (mostly because I get up there and forget what I went there for, head back down, then remember and head back up).


What I want for 2022 is my sanity, good health and happiness - I hope you achieve that too. Here’s to a new year full of the stuff that makes us smile.


Stay safe and stay you!

Open for Business

By Cathie George • February 13, 2024
Life has been somewhat topsy turvy for the past few years. With Covid affecting the whole world and then my own little world being challenged with the tedium that comes with trying to sell my house and move to somewhere new; I've been feeling somewhat overwhelmed. The one constant in my life has been my yarns, hooks and needles. I honestly think they are to thank for getting me through the past four years with a semblance of sanity in tact.

🎄Festive Greetings 🎄

If I was to rank 2022 on a scale of 1 - 10, it's a solid 5. Neither wonderful nor disastrous, in school report terms, "could do better". A new life and a new start is in reaching distance, I just have to be patient. I’ll keep doing the right things to make it happen and hopefully, before long I’ll be sharing with you my new adventure.

Au Revoir, but not Goodbye

By Cathie George • July 25, 2022
This day was always going to come, the day I say au revoir to all of you who signed up to my newsletters, visited my website, bought my products and offered kind words of support. Many of you did that regularly and I’m really grateful.

I Am Enough

By Cathie George • June 10, 2022
It took a pandemic to make me realise that I am enough. Yes, the me that I am today is more than enough, I don’t need to be anything more. I discovered that I don’t need to wear make-up and wash my hair every day (yes, I used to wash it every day - how ridiculous was that) and my pared back wardrobe was more than enough too.
