Project 365 - April & May

I've been so busy lately, that I forgot to post a selection of pics from April...


April was a good month... Peter and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary (wow 10 years!) I've been baking a lot more... I'm kindda liking the fact that cupcake making has become so popular... finally I can get piping bags and other cupcake making accoutrements... and I've also been busy working on a couple private projects....

May seemed to dragged on and on... of course more cupcakes, the LOST finale and the finicky British weather... will we have a proper summer?

Project 365 - March

Ah March... it was a good month... not only did I turn 38 (and I'm ok with that) I started painting and journalling again and of course spring is finally here, so people are a little more cheerier (winter makes people mean and grumpy) I successfully baked red velvet cupcakes and they were amazing! I finally have Season two of Twin Peaks on dvd (it was just released here on the 22nd of March...

I do have a lot of other projects on the go and I will try and share what I can here... I'm feeling a little overwhelmed really but also happy to be busy doing what I love doing...


Project 365 - February

New Year Start Over


Can I have a 2010 restart? This January and February has not been too kind to me health wise... first of all I kept getting sick with cold after cold... which then developed into a very nasty ear and throat infection that had me house bound for a few weeks... I lived on white tea, grapes and watch Olympic recaps.... (Go Team Canada!) antibiotics, vitamin C and painkillers...

So basically I'm back on the horse and with my projects, Goals and Disciplines for this year... Unfortunately I'm still on book one for my 50 books in a year... but Project 365 - One photo a day is still going strong...

other things I wish to do are:
  • visit Paris
  • visual journal more
  • paint more
  • crochet a blanket
  • knit a sweater
  • redecorate studio
  • redo/revamp websites
  • visit family in Canada
So fingers cross... hopefully March will be better.. I hope

Read 50 Books in a Year

Looking around our flat I’ve put aside 20 books that I’ve been planning to read, I also keep a little note book with recommendations of other books that I plan to reserve from the local library... so why not give myself the goal to read 50 books (that I haven’t read) in 365 days... that’s almost 1 book per week...

I’m a little late in starting, but I’ve been known to finish a book in day.

Project 365


In this post I mentioned that I will be listing my Goals & Disciplines for this year... so my first goal for 2010 is to take and post at least 1 photo a day for 365 days... that sounds easy doesn't it? Well it's still early days... The question is would I feel the same way in 4 months time?

It is a good exercise, even though I’m on day 11 I've notice how I'm taking time to look around and appreciate the beauty in everyday life. You can follow my progress here. Also at the end of each month I'll post an update here with a collection of 15 or so photos from the month.

Here are some tips to do your own Project 365

Treats

I love Baking!

I usually bake and gift Gingerbread cookies for my friends. Well for the second Christmas running I was not up to the challenge of baking and icing dozens and dozens of cookies... Christmas 2010 for sure! Promise!

So this Christmas I came across this recipe for Oreo Truffles... Can I just say YUM! I made 3 batches and I even whiped up a label for packaging up the treats...I wanted to give out Nigella's Hokey Pokey... that didn't turn out to well... Next time I'll do it this way for sure!

Happy 2010!

Happy Belated New Year Everyone! So what did you do? I was in bed by 11pm.... I'm still fighting this cold, that is about a month old... I'm in the clear now I think... I hope!

I am so behind on everything, this cold took a lot out of me... it was a rather dire Christmas and I'm glad that it's over... I just need to finish taking down the decorations and that will be that.


I really think 2010 will be a fabulous year... my head is bursting with a lot of creative ideas and projects... so watch this space! For the rest of the month I will be posting my Goals & Disciplines for 2010... (I think I have about 8)...

until next time then!
