New Year Means Back To School

Now that my knitting and textiles classes have restarted, life has definitely returned to normal, creatively and literally my hands are covered in inks. It’s great not to be a newbie anymore and to return and be familiar with your surroundings, your tutors and the other returning students. One thing that is definitely different about this term is that, I have actually joined the college library and have already borrowed books to research/explore some of the ideas that I have for my possible entry to the college student exhibition for my hand knitted course.
I will update the blog with whatever I eventually entry for the exhibition.

Carp the Day

Here I go again! Yes 2012 seems to be off at an amazing pace with Valentine's Day just around the corner. This year has all the makings of a very exciting year;

One, it's a leap year and although it is just one extra day I feel that I have been internally woo hooing at the thought,
Two, the Queen's Jubilee which is a fabulous excuse for a ladies day with pretty sandwiches,
Three, the Olympics, and although I do not have tickets for any stadium events but that is what street events are for.

So another reason why I'm feeling the time pressure is due to the fact that I am finally taking the leap and putting some of my creations on sale via Etsy. It's actually quite an exciting time and a little scary. Oh well! Carp the Day and all that!! Keep an eye on Etsy for unique and handmade sewn, knitted or screen printed creations.

As I continue to work on my first collection and new website, I will continue to blog regularly. In fact, blogging at least once a week is one of my New Year's resolutions. You will be hearing a lot more from me.

TTFN,

Is it me or is 2012 off to a flying start?

It's already mid-January and I feel like I have hardly taken a breath since New Year's (which I spent in Cape Town, SA).

So with my new tan lines I'm going to dive feet first into creative life, keep an eye out over the next few weeks as I launch my first etsy shop.
