A Fresh Start

Once upon a time, way back in February 2010, mid-way through a degree and multiple supporting jobs, I had great aspirations to start a blog. Unfortunately life got in the way.



However, fast forward to today, almost February 2013, and after more than a month of re-embracing the blog-o-sphere, I am attempting to start again. Fresh.
In combination with this, I am attempting to embrace creativity in a way I've never really been able to or allowed myself to before. I know myself a little more these days, don't believe that crafty goodness is daggy but a fantastic creative outlet and way of telling a little bit of your own story and impressions of the world, and its reflection on you. Oh and its fun!
So here it goes, I am learning about the art of blogging and love the community it creates. I indulge myself to think I may have some readers of my own soon!

I should also set the scene a little. I live in a lovely leafy suburb of Canberra, Australia. A place that once bored me to tears, now is the only place I want to be. I have recently moved in with my love and am finally getting to play house. Oh it is bliss! Albeit, bliss on a budget!
I have just completed a commerce degree and work as an accountant.... oh I hope I haven't put you to sleep! Before this I worked as an interior designer, ran a small business and lived in the home wares, garden wares and design world. It was everything I dreamed of and everything I dreaded. And unfortunately it just wasn't the right thing for me right then, but my love of design around me continues and now I would like to contribute a little by sharing some little things I discover.
I sew, I embroider, I am going to try to learn to crochet and wish that I could paint.
So I will see where this takes me!
