Welcome to my little blog corner! If you’ve somehow stumbled in here, bless you—pull up a chair, grab your coffee (or tea, or sock yarn—I’m not picky), and stay awhile.
My name’s Tanya. I’m in my late forties, plus-size, stubborn as a mule, and navigating life with social anxiety, depression, faith, and about seven tote bins of unfinished craft projects. Some of those projects have been “marinating” so long they’re practically vintage now.
This blog isn’t here to impress anyone. I’m not here to sell you on some perfect version of life, because trust me—mine hasn’t been that. I’ve walked through trauma, loss, grief, spiritual wrestling, and the weird ache of wanting things that didn’t happen (like having kids or finishing that one cross-stitch project from 2022).
But here’s the thing: I’m still here. Still learning. Still growing. Still laughing at myself when I trip over the same life lessons for the 500th time.

What You Can Expect Here:
• Honest stories about life’s highs and lows
• Random crafty ramblings (even if my knitting needles are on strike)
• Faith, hope, and sometimes a little holy chaos
• Reflections from a plus-size gal trying to figure things out
• The occasional sock yarn confession

Some days I might post something deep. Other days, it’ll just be me rambling about church music, British TV shows, or how many snacks it takes to get through paperwork. Either way, if you’re looking for real talk, you’re in the right place.

So, welcome aboard. Let’s see where this journey goes.
With love (and probably a cup of peppermint tea or Diet Pepsi), Tanya
