Review of my year

2012, I am afraid to say was really not my year. In many ways it was rather a difficult year. Around here I have been a total slacker last year. I am however hoping to do better in 2013- and not just as a blogger.

Despite many obstacles there have been plenty of good moments in 2012! Which is what I wanna keep in mind.
One of the greatest gifts in 2012 was an e-reader. It changed my reading life! Gone are my long quests and waits of finding certain books in Cape Town. Because let's face it I do live at the end of the world- a great end it might be, but when it comes to books, not that fab. One click and a couple of minutes later I can read a newly released book. Tuesdays have become great days! I've been writing a book blog for the last few months. 2012 has been an interesting journey through 150 books...
My last travel adventure in 2012 was to the oldest desert in the world. It's been an amazing trip and I will spill the beans over at Nomade's dwelling in the next few days. Naturally I took hudreds of photos...
At some point I felt a bit stuck with my photography in 2012. I did get a second hand DSLR, finally. Which changed my entire photo experience. I did finish my 52 project and am pondering if I should do one for this year as well, just keep the blog and keep posting?
This was also the year I tried my hand in porcelain. It has been a challenging but increadibly interessting journey. One of the least forgiving but most rewarding mediums I ever worked with.

I kept not one single New Years resolution in 2012- so I made just one this year:

Live in the moment and BE grateful!

Naturally I do have a few projects lined up,  as well
Hope you had a good start! 

Happy 2013,

Sometimes when the weather is grey outside
and the rain doesnt seem to stop
one needs that extra pop of colour...

...hence i am knitting with this super bright yarn!


Just a few more row until the shawl is done and will brighten up my wardrobe (which is also rather dominated by grey)

Review of my Week

Around the main train station of Zurich

Another week of travelling has passed.
Lots of photos were taken, way to much food was eaten, time spent with friends, new ideas formed, inspirations found, new details discovered.
My nomade heart is rather content. I could do this for another few months without a thought of missing home.... (sigh I so wish I could!)

I will upload more photos this week. And I've sort of made a plan for my future blogging. So that it's a slight bit more structured. Back to normal very soon.
Happy Monday,
