Have been giving a bit of thought to NY resolutions. I watched "Enid" on TV the other night, with Helena Bonham Carter playing the title role. Enid Blyton was my favourite author when I was a kid, but having seen the programme, she came across as a complete.... well, she certainly wasn't going to win any awards for "wife and mother of the year". So I DID consider resolving not to read any of her books for the whole of 2010. But that's a bit of a cop out as I probably wouldn't have done anyway.
2010 is definitely NOT going to be the year I learn to become a Cordon Bleu cook, or any other kind of domestic goddess. I'm not going to be going to the gym everyday, nor running a marathon, and although I intend to practice the guitar regularly, I don't think I should go ahead and book Wembley just yet. I want to draw and stitch more, and take more photos for my blog - and then get to grips with Photoshop.
So it might be a bit airy-fairy, but my resolution for this year is to "make more stuff, and buy less"
If that sounds familiar, it may be because I think that may have been last year's resolution too, but if it works.....
If I come up with anything more life changing, be assured you'll be the first to know.
And a Happy New Year to you too. (I want to know how you made the gorgeous chocs.)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I know what you mean about Enid, but I absolutely devoured the FF and SS books when I was little and they're precious memories, so I kind of forgive her ....
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with the 'resolution'!
Happy New Year Gill. I think you can start with "more drawing" at the Fashion & Textile museum. I'll confirm a date when I've heard back from the boiler man.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year. It sounds as though you will be having a great year doing the things you want to do. I loved the famous five, but when I read it now I am appalled at how sexist it is. I wanted to be George. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy new year ... I wish you whatever makes you happy
