It is hard to beat.
It tasted particularly good after I had just spent three hours in the garage going through the 1000 or so boxes filled with stuff. While most of it was just stuff, there were some wonderful little gems and treasures that were discovered. I shall keep you posted.

Just I quick little post to mention that I have featured in a wonderful online mag, Design This Design That. I am so honoured to be featured and the mag is just great! So many of my favourite artists are featured, plus lots of newies so it is definitely worth a look!
It has been too long since I logged into deviantART. I remember there was a time I would spend hours on that site. Before myspace, before facebook, before blogging, before art4friends, before adult life.
I am determined to get through my new deviations. And find super sweet jems like this.

Just some pieces that have been filling the sketchbook of late.
Yes, it might be different, but its still me
Hello all, how is everyone going and feeling? You ready for this one? If you are a keen reader then settle yourself in with a coffee and come cookies as this might be a long one. Maybe. Not really planned at this stage. If this is your first time reading my little bloggy, then welcome, I hope this will be the first of many, especially after my promise to blog more. and more.
Goal Setting
One of my biggest "goals" has always been to goal set. I always try, but I never end up getting it right, or following it through. So maybe I need to make these little goals and ideas public.
At the moment though, I am not really sure what I want. For the past year and a bit I have had art4friends running around, although probably only a good 6 months of that time was ever fully focused on working towards making something happen there. Lately I have been the most slack. I have been working my job a lot more, and uni as still been floating around, so whenever I do have anytime I feel that its got "quality" time and sort of just dont really do anything. Yes I have still been creating. But not so much sharing, networking, and what have you. I think it is because I am still finding myself as an artist and maybe I wanted some more direction or something.
1. Remain actively involved in this wonderfully little artistic community I sort of only have one toe in at the moment.
I have to just get up and do it.
Read more blogs. (I still read all my faves, but I really need to comment and be more involved!
Post more blogs.
Be inspired.
2. Keep creating. More.
I really just have to get all my bits and pieces organised and just keep creating. There are so many amazing exhibition opportunities going. I need to utilise them. Now. Or at least soon.
Just a little page from the sketch book. Different to my norm, I know. I have lots planned. I just need to do it.
I think I have gotten a bit 'stuck in a rut'-ish. I have a little over a year to finish my degree, B Art Education, but all I keep thinking is that I dont want to be an art teacher. Its annoying. I love love love art but now I know that if I end up in a career of art teaching my whole life, I can just see myself getting stuck in that little pocket and missing out on all I want to do creatively. I dont know, maybe. Who knows. Any life advice?
Hightlights
I am now the very proud owner of this. After a little minor tea spilling incident on the old PC laptop, it was time that I got a new one. And I made the switch. Ooo. So no excuses for me to not blog and be here and thrive!
I shall keep it touch people.
All for now. xx
on this glorious book.
This, along with other lovely treasures is now mine as a result of my big twenty first birthday!
Keep inspiring me wonderful creators.

I love blogging. I love reading blogs. I love writing blogs. I love ridiculous blogs. I love serious blogs. Somes though they are very easy to forget about. Especially when you have lovely holidays to New Zealand! (More later), 21st birthdays, work, work work and family to think about.
I really wish my artistic creations were not neglected, but I suppose they have been. I have been creating, uni and other little projects (More later!) but I havent been keeping up on the whole interactive internet community which i love doing so so much.
I still read my favourite blogs, but with not as much love and attention as I want.
I'm going to budget more time for this again. I have been also been spending a lot of time reflecting on what sort of artist I want to be, and I have been spending more time working on suppose a "body of work" as opposed to making something and posting because I was egar to share it with the world!
I want to share my more "fine art" side. As opposed to the illustrationy side (which I still want to share!)
So when I get to my actual computer (this is a speedy naughty blog-post-while-I-am-meant-to-be-working-at-work kind of post!) I can share and show and tell and I hope that someone is left around here to read and enjoy!
Meanwhile, my favourite little bunny friend FIFI has made very hard for me to want to wear anything other than that dress for my upcomming 21st birthday!
still loving it.
Sorry for any typos, no spell check here!
to think that I have to spend my limited limited spare time attending all the lovely 21st Birthday Parties that are all going around at the moment. What a chore! hehe. (and mine is not too far away!)
Thanks for all the lovely words, I will find the time to catch up with everyone, even if it is in 5 years time. But still. Keep an eye out folks. Time to be creatin' soon. xxx

for those avid readers of my blog (hehe im sure there are tons! lol) that are wondering what happened to me, just a quick note to let you know that I am still alive, I am still trying to be creative, and keep up with everyones blogs etc etc but my 'artistic' time is so very limited at the moment.
but never fear. that time shall someday come. i hope.
hope all is swell and well!
