March 2026 Month Two: Quiet Progress (and Pickles) This month has been less internally dramatic than the first one. The website exists now, so there was no big “press publish and expire” moment. It’s just… there. Which is weirdly nice. I think this month has mostly been about settling into it. Letting it exist. Letting myself exist alongside it without immediately wanting to crawl under a rock. Though I still often do lol. Business-wise, I actually tried to be organised for once in my life. I looked up seasonal dates properly instead of winging it and hoping for the best. Easter plans are already in progress, which feels suspiciously responsible. There’s some ideas brewing in the background that I’m very excited about. I won’t say too much yet, but it involves tiny chaos and I love it. My issue will be getting it done in time, everything I do takes me an age! The biggest creative challenge this month was miniature pickles. They looked simple. They lied. They required needles, magnifying goggles, and a level of concentration that made me question my life choices. But they turned out pretty cool and I genuinely feel like I levelled up a bit making them. Annoying when hard things make you better, isn’t it. I’ve also been thinking about how I show up online. I’m not naturally someone who finds it easy to be on social media. Being visible still feels uncomfortable, I have issues with being perceived. But I don’t actually want to hide behind the odd finished product photo forever either. I want to be more open. More human. Share more of the process, the weird in-between stages, the bits that don’t go perfectly. I’d like to connect with actual people instead of just occasionally uploading things and disappearing. That’s going to take some pushing through the discomfort. But apparently that’s the theme lately. Nothing huge and flashy happened this month. No dramatic announcements. Just steady progress. Planning ahead. Trying harder things. Thinking bigger. For now, that feels like enough.
