2011 - a year of fulfilled resolutions (hopefully)

There were a few things I decided to change in 2011 and to help me remember those decisions, I'm writing them down. Here goes nothing:

1. I can never remember what books I've read, so I'm going to start keeping an online list. This could prove embarrassing, as I have a penchant for sci fi, fantasy and children's literature amongst other things.
2. Learn another language! Je suis désespérée!
3. Do more of my crafty bits and bobs. I started a patchwork quilt over Christmas. I've been meaning to start that project since I was 17 and I've collected various bits of material over the years so that it will be beautiful. I'm not going to lie, it's probably going to take another 9 years to complete, but I'm going to commit to working on it regularly so that at least I'm getting somewhere! I find that I'm happiest when I've got something creative on the go and since I moved to London I've hardly done anything, because I've been so busy trying to settle in. There's also a zine project I've been invited to collaborate on which I'm really excited to get started on. I worked on a zine called Footnotes at uni with a few people from the Sheffield University Arts Council and from my English Literature course. It was so exciting to be a part of creating something different and organic. Footnotes was a collection of odds and sods that didn't really belong anywhere and from what I can gather, this new one will be too, so I'm very excited and honoured to be asked to contribute!
   
4. Read more books. My brain is in serious need of some food.

I think four is enough, there are a few other things I want to work on, but I haven't made any firm decisions about them yet, so no point in writing them down until they have developed out of misty ideas into something more real...
