I have always loved New Year, it reminds me of crisp new diaries, lush fountain pens and hopeful thoughts for the future, it’s also a time of reflection. This past year has been one of the most stressful and demoralising of my life, it’s left me more pessimistic and less hopeful than I usually am. This new year I’m determined to put a stop to that, find my happy thought and re-gather. My happy thought of 2012 was my successful Crowdfunder bid, something I never thought possible as who was going to want to buy my fabric? Focussing on a new diary may seem small and insignificant but it represents a lot more than that – the possibility of a more hopeful 2013. I have no idea what is in store which is a little frightening but I am hopeful of what this year might bring and that puts a smile back on my face.
Happy New Year Sarah…hope 2013 will bring you much happiness & success. I was reading your ‘5 years’ post and you really have achieved such a lot, even in the few years I’ve know you, so I hope things carry on in the right direction and that there are plenty of fun times ahead! love J xx
Thanks Janine, I hope it’s a great year for you too :) I can’t wait to see what new designs you have up your sleeve, here’s hoping for a great 2013 for us all!!
