Here's to 2014

After the fun and festivities of Christmas my mind always immediately switches to the excitement of the new year approaching, and this year was no exception. The clean slate already has chalky scribbles of ideas all over it. Aside from getting back in the pool, the aim is to join up on the local veg scheme, make our flat more homely: get pictures of us and everyone up on the wall, inspired by these; acquire a new dining table, upcycle more; join a dance class; learn to screen print (properly); buy flowers once in a while, and hang them out to dry to make 'em last longer; purchase a second hand bike to become my new best friend; take this space to a new place…

I said to Dan the other day that in 2014 we should have an adventure every month of this coming year. What that might be yet? Who knows but it’ll be a sure fire way to explore London and it’s surroundings, hopefully even further afield, and do some things new. (Here's what I was thinking over the past few new years!)

New Year

2012 will always be a year never to forget for many reasons both incredible and sad. 2013 has arrived quietly, not as bolshy as it's predecessor and now that it's here, I have good feelings about it. It's going to be my last year in uni, tough in itself, but I feel rumblings of inspiration to have a go at something different once I'm done. If not now, when eh?! I can't put it off forever. As someone said "she seems to have a great ability at art and I am sure she will put it to good use and will bring her much pleasure".

I'm really inspired by makers, such as these guys, people who are practical with their hands and create and that's the designer I want to be. I aim to travel more; to make more; to blog more; to photograph more... so role on 2013!

Hello 2012

Seeing in 2012 I was in Strasbourg visiting Lauren with Craig. We slept in so late everyday, wandered into town and generally just enjoyed each others company. It's so nice to do something different with a couple of your best buds and not make a big deal out of NYE.

MMXI

I'm not sure that I completed many or any of my resolutions from last year, so this time I'm going to keep it simple...

push and challenge myself!

New year, new decade

WOW... a year is over, so is a decade - from a wee ten year old nipper, through school, and now in my last year of uni aged twenty! So here's to a leap into the future:

more creativity
really pushing my boundaries
get a job
live somewhere new
travel
meet new people
keep on smiling
:D

Happy New Year!
