Farewell 2013

Yes.  Farewell to 2013.  I nearly failed to capture you as the sun set for the last time this year.  The sun has been hiding for so many days now that it was a shock when he put in an appearance for a few minutes to enable me to capture a photo.

2013 was quite an uneventful year and for that I am grateful.  I didn't really have any plans for 2013 so I am going to make sure that I don't let 2014 slide away from me without 'doing' anything. So in 2014 I propose to:
  • make the most delightful herbal sleep pillows with my own recipe herbal mix
  • take up lino cutting/printing with the set I was given for Christmas
  • visit the Chelsea Physic Garden for ideas and inspiration
  • make high end jewellery using silver and semi-precious gemstones
  • return to my water colour painting (not done this for a couple of years now).
  • bake my own bread
  • make soap and other cosmetic preparations
  • plant a herb garden
  • start job hunting (if I have any time left to do so!)

So there it is.  A list of intentions for the coming year.  I doubt I will do them all, but I will try.

*Happy New Year to all the folks that drop by to this space in blog land.  See you next year.*

  7. Hi Simone!
    You know we have quite a lot in common on our to do list! I am always on the look out for a job, I have some unused lino cutters that I bought years ago, we both are beginning to paint again and both want to bake bread!

  10. There happens to be a lino-cutting course at my local arts centre, I think you might have given me the push in the right direction.
