As it's that time when one reviews the year, I thought it was about time I got my act together.
If you have visited here recently, it might seem that I have been dormant for two whole years and you'll most likely have scooted off to more prolific writers/bloggers. My statistics have dropped, both in blogging and writing. That was a conscious choice. My health was suffering (too many sleepless nights creeping up on me) and I needed to devote myself to family and paying work (which I've had to literally double the hours of, what with wage cuts and crazy taxing.)
So here are the last two years in review (an easily condensed version)!
Stemming from my steampunk interests I've been sewing a whole bunch of things, all shamefully unfinished, apart from a Victorian style choker and a cute hat. The former is made out of a remnant of lace scooped up from the floor of a local seamstress and the latter was a gift from a friend which, if I am honest, I would never have worn as a simple everyday hat, though you will rarely see me without one in the winter! I've also altered several modern pieces to make more vintage styled items.
From steampunk I ventured into historical fashion and rediscovered my love of the 1920s/30s/40s. I have been trawling You Tube vintage fashion videos/vloggers and gone full circle to Costubers. (My Christmas cooking was accompanied by binge watching Costubers Secret Santa.)
What about the writing you ask? Well the list of published works between 2018 and 2019 is significantly short, but here goes:

What does 2020 hold?
According to numerology 2020 is a year of "vision and accomplishment" and of manifesting one's dreams. Am I asking too much? Probably, but I can try!
I have three major rewrites, all of them old but good and in need of some love before I send them out into the world. I won't say what because if I talk about a project it never seems to get done.
Other than those, I have a plethora of short stories floating around which need tidying and submitting. So I am still writing though I have taken it down a pace or two hundred.
Whatever you are up to and whatever you plan, I hope 2020 is a great year for you!

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Three things...
1. Obviously the whole world has been turned up-side-down with Covid-19 since I wrote this post and I simply didn't get round to publishing this post. I thought it was rather peculiar looking back and decided to share it with you despite it being a 'little' after the fact!
2. Please note the comment at the end of February's blog post. Unknown, were you talking from the future?
3. I hope you and yours are well and coping in light of all that's going on.
