Resolutions and plans

I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas and are looking forward to the beginning of a new year, new beginnings.

I am so sorry that I didn't get a chance to share all the tutorials with you that I had planned, but time just seemed to slip through my fingers and little chores kept getting added to my list of things to do. I have finally taken a few days just to be, to relax and start to focus on my hope and dreams for 2010, and feel like I need a couple more days in hibernation to help them become clear.

The weather here has been snowey, cold and fresh, which I love. I sit here surrounded by twinkling stars, fairy lights and scented candles, with fluffy boots and thich PJ bottoms on. This is definately my season.

I would like to use this time to say thank you to all my old and new blog friends. Over the past 2 years I have been so inspired by you all. You bring me new artists to enjoy, bands to listen to, crafters to admire and knowledge to grow with, and I want to say thank you. And hope we can continue to grow together in 2010.

New Beginnings

Happy New Year to you all!

As most of you know I have a list addiction, and this time of year for me represents new beginnings and another excuse for a list. So having spent a chilled out day with a bestist friend I have been working through some ideas and aims for this year and having such fun. I looked back to last year and all the things I aimed for and then all the wonderful things I achieved, realised how plans and directions change and wonder how things will pan out for 2009.

What does the new year mean to you?
