The Patchwork Quill

Nerding out about crafting, creativity & culture on BlueSky for the foreseeable. 🪦 RIP Twitter, it was fun while it lasted.

I'll now be nerding out about crafting, creativity & culture over at https://t.co/Uumy5A0MI5 Hanging on to this account in case Twitter somehow survives this. I think what's happened to and on this platform since Oct 2022 is gross and that we need to vote with our digital feet.

This ghost sign was revealed during the renovation of Greens Supermarket in Lisburn and thankfully they preserved and restored it beautifully.

How beautiful is this old signage at Greens in Lisburn? Just walked past it earlier, really stunning and a lovely echo of times past. Really important that we do what we can to protect built heritage and great to see Greens here and getting better after all these years 😀

I love projects like this! @BelfGhostSigns creatively documenting Belfast's built heritage with photos of the 'ghost signs' on shopfronts and buildings in the city. #Belfast #builtheritage #history #architecture #signage

Looks like a couple of #ghostsigns overlapping, its hard to make out what it says. Stroud Street near Shaftesbury Square fronting onto Great Victoria Street #belfast @DocumentBelfast @SignsOfACity @ghostsigns

"[Ann Scullion] doesn't mind the competition - in fact, she welcomes it, as it increases public awareness of real ale."

Another great article that mentions our very own Hilden Brewery a year into production and the increased demand for real ale here🍺

@TYorksher @StaceySolomon @_mrcarrington 😂 I loved that tip too! I am such an 'out of sight out of mind' girl; this is why the Marie Kondo approach works for me. I either need to see it or put it in something with a b i g clear label! Loved the stair storage, wonder if the landlord would notice... 🤔😂

[The Patchwork Quill @PatchworkQuill]

I've just watched the pilot of #SortYourLifeOut with @StaceySolomon and a YouTube fave of mine @_mrcarrington LOVED it, wish I'd had this show when I was doing My Big Declutter 4 years ago! *Love* the emphasis on upcycling and rethinking existing storage 👌🏻 Can't wait for more!

[The Patchwork Quill @PatchworkQuill]

@AuroraPonders @StaceySolomon @_mrcarrington I watched it on catch up tonight and then went straight to Google to see when the rest were coming! Apparently there have been 6 more made, to air later this year 🤞

[The Patchwork Quill @PatchworkQuill]

https://t.co/DTan7i0Iuo Reminder of my adventure in sorting my life out! Must update soon as I've done more in the rest of the house and repainted all the bedroom furniture, so it looks less like a thrown-together rental house bedroom (which is... literally what it is 😆)

[The Patchwork Quill @PatchworkQuill]

@Quizbay I wouldn't, and I won't be going to my hairdresser for a few months either. If we can afford to, we can support our local businesses by purchasing vouchers, that's what I intend to do.

[The Patchwork Quill @PatchworkQuill]

Loved this video @amandarachlee - so satisfying! Inspiring me to continue my mission to organise my craft room/office. I struggle with 'out of sight out of mind' with my tonnes of supplies, so those acrylic trays could be a good solution... 🤔💡

new video finally :) organizing all of my stationery

Hello, friends! I've been MIA for a while, partly because I've been busy with work (@quillincni) and partly because I took a break from social media entirely during February.

I'm reading this at the moment and absolutely loving it! The best and funniest book I have read in a very long time. .
