Now, here we are

I love this time of year!

Looking back on the year that passed, dwelling a little on the choices I made, the turns I took, and the responses I had to things that happened. Then setting a course for the new year.

Creatively, 2013 has been sweet. On January 1st I can celebrate my company's 5th birthday, and I still think selfemployment rocks. Beside great graphic assignments this year, I have also been teaching; Six collage workshops came to in collaboration with the wonderful Pernille Mühlbach. Which opens new possibilities of more collage work; more glue-stained fingers and ink pads all over the place -- more creativity.

So, how 'bout them intentions for the year to come? Well for my part, I wish to learn! Read. Commune with nature a little bit more than I have. Take a class. Thinking natural yarn dying would be absolutely amazing. Pottery maybe? Knitting for sure. And patchwork too. To work. And laugh. Walk. And swim in the ocean. Share, and enjoy.

I wish for you to enjoy as well! To have more of that which is important to you, and to fly high, all through 2014.

Happy New Year!

  2. Jeg kan SÅ godt lide din blog Christine, så jeg håber selvfølgelig at du holder ud ��
    Dejlige billeder som altid.
    Jeg har iøvrigt skrevet dig en mail, men har fået besked om at du først ser den d. 2., så nu spørger jeg dig her: hvis du har lyst vil jeg høre dig om du vil med på Arken og se Frida Kahlo udstillingen? Hvis du altså ikke allerede har set den. Jeg vil så gerne se den, men har ikke kunnet lokke nogen med. Så nu forsøger jeg mig med dig. �� godt nytår. Knus Marie-Louise

  3. Hej Christine. Jeg ser frem til 2014, hvor min kreative sjæl får endnu mere at leve af. Det var din vidunderlige bog, der satte gang i det hele - tak for det. Jeg glæder mig til collagekursus sammen med andre lotteribriks- og papirnørder. Rigtig godt nytår. Mange hilsner Charlotte
