Fly away home ...

Is this not the cutest thing ever?

I'm going to make this tomorrow. Maybe even start it tonight.

I'll give it to my mum as a belated Mother's Day gift. I don't think she's received one from me for ages. I always have this huge aims to make the most wonderful and beautiful handmade gifts for mum, but never actually get them done. :)

The Bitty Bug Pincushion is by Goody Goody. Go check her blog out.

So I haven't posted for a while.

So much for aiming to post every day.

I currently have about a million things due for end-of-year, but I've started using the Pomodoro Technique (Italian for "tomato") and I'd like to think it's made me much more efficient. Well, I have a few minutes spare to type this as I wait for my next "pomodoro," anyhow. That must be an improvement, I'm sure.

I'll most likely have to do another all-nighter tonight, though, after doing one last night. I guess that's why I'm having so much trouble making sense ... not enough sleep, too much Mother. I like it. Tastes like Tic Tacs.

I'm loving these beautiful images:

The colours, lines and beauty in such simplicity is breathtaking.

Puppy has just come up with chook feathers poking of his mouth, so I'd better go sort the menagerie out.

It's a New Day

So I woke up this morning, decided not to go for a run, since my legs are still completely ripped up from yesterday’s endeavour, and took puppy outside to discover that there was a layer 10 cm deep of dew which so desperately wanted to turn into frost. It was freezing … my breath was all misted up, and everything, which is rather shocking after having sunny 25˚C days for so long. So I came inside to learn it was only 8˚C. Yeah right.

So, anyway, today I’m trying to be positive. Not always the easiest thing when you have uni and work and family issues all going on, vying for your time and completely freaking you out. But there are so many people who have it so hard that I’m going to be grateful for what I have and just yell at myself to, “Suck it up!” until I listen. Which might take a while.

Continuing along the theme of "New Me" ...

So, my first post.

I've decided to create this blog to document my life.

I constantly feel like I have no achievements, no goal in life, and that I'm going nowhere, so I'm hoping this will set my mind onto some sort of straight path and help me remember the important things in life.

Aims for tomorrow:

1. Set a stew on to cook overnight, ready for Friday
2. Get lots of uni work done
3. Run 7km

Yes, I'm starting off small.

Night!
