Here’s a look back at the last month with photos, blog posts, plans & goals progress and more.

What I’ve been up to
I almost skipped this month and I didn’t have enough photos but I managed to cobble enough together. Not much has been happening – meeting Katy for lunch and getting out on my bike have been the highlights. I am heading Up North for a week though so more to report next month.

I’m also very much looking for freelance and temp work so please think of me if you or someone you know needs a new Shopify store, an overhaul of your current shop, blog or website, some minor fixes or a nice hardworking creative person to do some design or admin. Have a look at my portfolio to see how I can help.

Plans & Goals Progress

- I reached 9000 sales on Etsy! That felt really great, and then I got 1 (one) 4 star review and 1 (ONE!) 3 star review (neither for anything bad I did) and lost my Star Seller badge after 2 years of being 5/5 or 100% on all 4 requirements. THANKS ETSY I hate you.
- I rode my bike to Rhu! I love my new bike. It was easy so I will go through Rhu next time.
- Books, Comics & Zines I Read in 2025 – 2 read (+ 2 in progress!)
- I have been doing 2 new recipes a month but I still haven’t been updating my journal.
One day I will collect up all my links but in the meantime, a reminder that the Super Cute Kawaii newsletter now has extra monthly emails full of kawaii and Japan links & videos and I’ve been posting on my Zelda tumblr (and on WordPress if you don’t have a tumblr account).
