Last 6 months of @LeverhulmeTrust fellowship and I'm launching a new website. Threading time is a space to think about the connections between sewing, time and memories threadingtime.co.uk/
Really excited to be part of @StokingCurios this Friday and Saturday to show Blankets: An exploration of crochet, care and time. The time for this is supported by @LeverhulmeTrust

It arrived! The pink book! There were times when I thought this day would never come. Thanks to everyone who got me over the line - too many to mention but you'll get a big hug when I see you next. And happy to report that the pictures turned out nice too - phew. 📚
Everyday Life in Austerity the book is now online (link.springer.com/book/10.10…)! Hard copies arrive next month and there will be a little launch event. But for now please indulge me sharing this short thread about the contents - I'm a little bit excited and overwhelmed.📚
A longer blog post this month but a lot has happened, on cats, cancer and care.

I am looking for volunteers to be interviewed for a study on older women’s (above 65) friendship this coming August in London and Manchester area.
Very excited that my first paper on busyness has just been published, examining gender and self-help books in @GPCjournal. Many thanks to @Sarah_M_Hall and @dratarrant for putting this special edition together #busy

I've been little quiet recently as I've been looking after my sister. Last visit she was better so I taught her to crochet. Listening to her swearing her frustration inspired me to write about why craft can be so frustrating:

Congratulations @MaddyCThompson on your Leverhulme Fellowship. Very well deserved, it will be great to welcome you on board at @KeeleGGE.
Replying more thoughtfully to @michael_gratzke about how to 'craft' auto-ethnography through crochet and sewing @LDikomitis @FisherResearch @Sarah_M_Hall @BlackSheepWools @lintontweeds

A proud day - off to vote for the first time with my daughter, and no I have not told her who to vote for. Though only just remembered that it is today which sums up the state of these local elections...
You are braver than you think and (auto) fiction can provide a way forward to depersonalise the personal in auto-ethnography

Off to Morgan Centre at Manchester university for first presentation on Leverhulme project exploring the relational qualities of busyness using Mass Observation one day diaries @LeverhulmeTrust @MassObsArchive
I've been busy tracking and colouring time inspired by @lvanderkam and @_ted_hunt. Not surprisingly it turns out that tracking time is a technology for discipline as much as self-knowledge timehack.co.uk/timemanagemen….

Do you work on austerity/ everyday life/ family futures/ life courses/ oral history in North East England? Do you have any papers/books/reports I should read? Fancy a cuppa&chat when I visit? Starting fieldwork in a new place is scary-any help/advice much appreciated please. 🙆
