2011




if i could sum up 2011 in one word it would be... busy.
if i could sum up the life i want in one word it would be... simple.

see the problem? haha!

in 2011 i...
*went on a family trip to japan
*survived teaching english to year 12s
*took a few road trips
*spent time looking for the happy things in my world
*started baking my own bread
*ran two vintage sheet FQ swaps (round three will be coming in a few weeks... stay tuned!!)
*helped celebrate my best friend's engagement
*discovered and fell in love with instagram
*had some success in the vegie garden
*learned some lessons about vegie gardening
*got a thermomix and fell in love with it!
*organised my craft room (it is currently looking decidedly unorganised)
*threw a few dinner parties
*went on the trip of a lifetime to nepal
*did a LOT of thrifting and found a few treasures along the way

2011 was a full and happy year but i'm looking forward to slowing down and simplifying in 2012. check back tomorrow for some of my 2012 goals!

hope all had happy and lovely times with your family over the christmas time... looking forward to sharing 2012 with you all!

  7. Sounds like an amazing year - must say I am jealous of both Japan and Nepal. I haven't been to either of those countries ... hopefully one day soon.
