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
Congratulations Anna, great project and one of the few social scientists to be recognised by UKRI. Amazing acheivement.

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.📚
I could not have written this without the support of @Sarah_M_Hall @FisherResearch @LDikomitis @lesleypmurray @LucheriniMark @walkmorg_ceri @PembertonSimon @drnjshelton @GeographyLaura @morgancentre @KeeleGGE @CerysJ30 @LeverhulmeTrust
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

He is named after a character in a HH Monro short stories (aka Saki) Clovis Sangrail. A mischievous, clever, young man and one of my literary heros...
We almost forgot, but it is her first time. My cat came with me last time but he is nowhere to be seen so I think he has given up on local democracy...
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...
