Welcome to my little corner of curiosity and creation — where crafts, theatre, books and travel meet. I’m Sonia, and I write here about the things that make ordinary days sing: the tactile joy of handmade projects, the hush of the theatre just before the lights go up, novels that leave fingerprints on the heart, and the curious rhythms of places I visit. Pull up a chair; let’s explore together.

What this blog is about

• Crafts: Simple projects, upcycled ideas and seasonal makes you can do at home. Expect step-by-step guides, materials lists, tips to make things look polished even if you’re a beginner, and occasional deep dives into techniques I love — knitting, paper craft, embroidery and mixed media.

• Theatre: Reviews and reflections from the stalls and the stage wings. I write about plays that moved me, actors whose work I admire, and practical notes for theatre-goers — how to choose a show, getting the best seats on a budget, and pre-show rituals that heighten the experience.

• Books: Honest reads and gentle recommendations. I cover fiction and non-fiction that linger with me — from classics to contemporary gems, plus themed reading lists (weekend reads, play scripts to study, travel books to pack) and short reviews that tell you whether a book might suit your mood.

• Travel: Slow travel, city breaks and the small discoveries that matter. Expect itineraries with a human scale, suggestions for creative souvenirs, notes on local crafts and theatre scenes, and tips for turning travel into a continuous learning adventure rather than just ticking boxes.
