Revisiting a List

I've been in a bit of a cleansing mode of late. Nothing has been spared my ruthless need to clean out and throw out, from kitchen cupboards to my embroidery supplies. Even my blog has undergone the same need to start a fresh and uncluttered, I've started going back through the really old posts and either editing or deleting posts that have little content, broken image links and so forth. 

As I was doing this I came a cross a list of things I wanted to do, or see and after six years I wanted to see how far I got with crossing things off, and I've managed to complete the following:

1. Return to Washington, and finally visit the Smithsonian - Totally did this and more, over a week navigating about the capital on my own! Best decision ever.

3. Watch Fight Club - I did finally watch, can't remember when but I did buy it and watched it.

5. Use all of my Swarovski hot fix crystals and make a blinging bag - I put this on a list?? lol

7. Re-read the chronicles of Narnia - I did

9. Go dancing - I really wasn't very specific on this one...

13. Move out - I did!! Technically, I did this twice...Guildford, then home briefly before moving to Farnham

14. Live or work in London - I currently work in London

15. Learn how to walk in high heels - Nope, flats all the way!

16. Enter a piece of my embroidery into a competition - Pretty sure I entered something into a competition for Liberty's?

18. Travel anywhere abroad on my own - I did!! See point #1

20. Own a house - I own a flat

21. Learn to drive - I am currently learning

22. Submit an article on anything to a magazine - submitted several articles into Crafty Magazine, and one in Hoop-la

23. Learn to conquer my fear of glass floors and floor to ceiling windows, i.e visit the Grand Canyon - THIS IS NEVER, EVER HAPPENING

25. Go to Goodwood festival of speed - I did go to Goodwood Revival?

28. Learn to say no - try to

29. Get a tattoo of a daisy - NEVER

30. Buy emo style glasses - TOTALLY GOT SOME

34. Go on a weekend to Edinburgh - 30TH BIRTHDAY

So I think we can safely say that I've managed a fair few things on the list but byjove it was a random! Think in the New Year I'll try and think up some new ones, as there are clearly a few that I don't think I will ever make myself do...i.e. glass floors, and tattoos. I don't do new year's resolutions but I can get more on board with things to do rather than trying to break old habits. 

This is a departure from blogging about projects I am working on, and I have been awfully quiet about that for the last couple of months but I am feeling fidgety and my noggin is already fizzing with ideas just need a bit more time to work out what they will actually translate into. In the meantime there will be a sale over on my Etsy Store, and the blog spring clean will continue.

I hope everyone has or is still having a lovely Christmas break!

Would love to Meet you...

If you live near or in Farnham, their 10th annual Farnham Malting's Christmas fair will be taking place. Owing to massive popularity they have made it a two day event. I will be there with my merry band of Bees and I would love to see you there!

Studio Tuesday at Cowdray Park

I am really, really proud to do a spot of PR for my mum. I've been oodles quiet owing to just getting on making stock for the craft show, sorting out a few custom orders, and catching the winter lurgy. But, I now have something exciting to share, my mum and her studio buddy (Studio Tuesday) are running a pop-up gallery at the Bike Shed, Cowdray Park Farm Shop. 

So if you're in the area, why not pop in and meet the lovely ladies, and see their and other local artists amazing work. Great opportunity to purchase some unique Christmas presents and also help them to raise raise monies for the charity Dreams Come True Xmas Appeal.
