but I will say sorry. I know. Knock Knock. Hello?? Sorry I am here. But you know. You know how it is. With this. It is exciting, and I love it. But you know.
But I wanted to promise that I wouldn't forget about this blog. Because I like blogging here. It is fun. And it is nice to go back an read old posts.
Speaking of posts. Here is a new blog post over at the {twin set} blog. It is sweet and I think you wil like it. Let us know what you think.
My illustration for the day is a little card that I made for my brother. My brother is pretty awesome. He did all the website hard stuff for {twin set}, and we can't thank him enough. If you ever need a fancy web designer that can code AND design, he is your man. I will post his website when it puts it up very soon.
I bought some gorgeous new sketchbooks, and notebooks from NoteMaker and I love love love them. I am so organised now it is fantastic. I also got a new art diary.
I WILL:
- keep blogging here
- stay organised with my notebooks and lists
- keep using my digital calendar (synced to my iPhone of course)
- draw every day
- or more so, sketch every day
- if I want to buy something new, I must draw it first
- limit spending (hopefully previous point with help with this)
- not set myself demands and promises, or stick to the ones I do make....

(isn't this colour like totally awesome?)
How stupid of me, I love it when people link to things. Why don't I do it more often?
Taking the tips from the amazing BAKERY, I am going to have a crack at speedlinking.
Here we have, some things that caught my eye on the internet today.
(usually I would star, bookmark, comment, email or tweet about these things, but today, we blog)

artwork by Catherine Campbell
- Catherine Campbell's exhibition that I am wishing I could be going to.
- Well, this post, motivating me to do this in the first place.
- Loving what is going on with plastic water bottles in Aus.
- These sketches, so perfect.
- I never ever tire of looking at her gorgeous drawings. Go see.
- Learning all about Technorati and what it means for my blog, thanks to this site.
- Family. blogging.

Feel like have a crack at this whole "speedlinking" thing too? Just write a post, throw in some links you like, and let me know about it in the comments.
Also thinking I should write a "how-to" post and share some love with the peeps.
Any ideas on what I should be howing?

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
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!
