sideways tiara: Or
http://royalshyness.blogspot.com/2012/12/or.html
Friday, December 14, 2012. I spent weeks making a choice that truly required much less time and effort than I ended up giving it. It renewed my awareness that I, and perhaps most other humans, do not like the concept of "Or" very much. We have a hard time making a final pronouncement because we know it will mean turning away from all other options. Taken during my first week living in the granted wish. So the choices have been made, and I hope I will have learnt my lesson: a little deliberation is pruden...

sideways tiara: A blessing as you go
http://royalshyness.blogspot.com/2012/11/a-blessing-as-you-go.html
Monday, November 26, 2012. A blessing as you go. So you're off tomorrow on this much anticipated, perhaps equally feared adventure. I haven't had the chance to tell you that on the same day you're leaving, I'm leaving too. For a change, I have decided to stop trying to plan for all the possibilities I can think of. I'll just go. I have everything I need. I'll be back before I know it, back in this comfortable - too comfortable? Sanctuary where my crunchingly dry soul has found nourishment. I wanted to of...

sideways tiara: Struck
http://royalshyness.blogspot.com/2012/09/struck.html
Tuesday, September 25, 2012. Over Cottesloe, September 2012. I hope I never lose the ability to be silenced by beauty. Posted by Sharon Toh. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Thanks for visiting my little corner of the great big Internet. This blog is my attempt at making the world seem smaller and more kind. And for immortalising the occasional terrible pun that I come up with. Don't eat frosting if you can help it. Just eat more cake.). But frosting is really pretty when it's done right.).

sideways tiara: Sewing for Orphans in Vietnam
http://royalshyness.blogspot.com/2012/09/sewing-for-orphans-in-vietnam.html
Monday, September 17, 2012. Sewing for Orphans in Vietnam. A few days ago I stumbled upon this. Project and thought I'd give it a shout out here in hopes that all three of my regular readers would see it and want to help. There are more than three of you? Well, hello there. Pardon me, it's just so quiet in here usually that I don't know you're there. Say something, will ya? More importantly, if you're able, would you please sew something for the orphans at Tam Ky. Image from Crinkle Dreams. Thanks for vi...

sideways tiara: When something breaks...
http://royalshyness.blogspot.com/2012/12/when-something-breaks.html
Saturday, December 15, 2012. That something being news, big bad news about a young man shooting his own mother and then a bunch of schoolchildren and faculty before shooting himself. Image by Bjarne Henning Kvaale. When so much is broken and still breaking, do we really need media crews flocking to the scene to interview victims? Do we really need to see in such great detail how the boys and girls are feeling right after barely surviving said attack? Do we need to agree how. Posted by Sharon Toh. Thanks ...

sideways tiara: And so it is...
http://royalshyness.blogspot.com/2013/02/and-so-it-is.html
Friday, February 15, 2013. And so it is. I did see this coming, but I'm surprised how sentimental I'm getting as I write this last post here. I mean, it's just a relocation, isn't it? But I've been here going on eight years now, and things grow on you. Even if they are. Severely limited things that don't have usable mobile apps or a way of simplifying web design for you. My blog has moved. I now have a domain and all. This is where you'll find me from now on. There's still a lot. Posted by Sharon Toh.

sideways tiara: In between
http://royalshyness.blogspot.com/2013/02/in-between.html
Wednesday, February 06, 2013. In conversation with a close friend on the other side of the country yesterday, I was reminded that transition is rarely - if ever - enjoyable. "In between" is somewhere most of us don't want to be, given the choice. By definition, it's not even a place. We're willing to acknowledge; it's just where we happen to be until we get there. Wherever "there" is from our current perspective. I'm still too raw to process my current season of transition, but this. Posted by Sharon Toh.

sideways tiara: Practical crochet, Part I
http://royalshyness.blogspot.com/2012/09/practical-crochet-part-i.html
Wednesday, September 12, 2012. Practical crochet, Part I. I asked for timber floors. Three to four months ago when I was about to begin searching for a home to rent, I made a list of attributes I would like said home to have. They ranged from "sensible" (safe neighbourhood) to "practical" (close to train station and/or bus routes) to "what are you doing asking for something so non-essential, especially in the price range where you're looking? And my toes were getting cold. Too much time, ah? And I did co...

sideways tiara: March 2012
http://royalshyness.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 24, 2012. I've been told I don't know my own strength but this was a shock. Bye, hole punch. You were one of my first purchases when I arrived four years ago. All those reams of notes, archived assignments, logs and bills and statements and letters you helped me organise. I wonder what my Master's journey would have been without you. Looks like the seasons really are shifting over here. Posted by Sharon Toh. 0 did the royal wave. Links to this post. Wednesday, March 21, 2012. A decision r...
