2011 in pictures, in no order.

1. Went to the snow with the lover, first time at the snow since I was 10. The snow and I are not too fond of each other, with the whole skiing business. But it was a lovely little trip. I can’t wait for winter and snow again this year.

2. I dyed my hair purple, I can not imagine having “normal” coloured hair anymore. It brought me out of my shell, and allowed me to start being myself no matter what anyone thought of me in the process.

3. I went veggie, I don’t know the date or the month. But I think it was around March or May, but it has been something I have always wanted to do and have always tried and failed. But this time, I have not eaten any meat or had an accidents or slip ups since then and it has been amazing.

4. I got my first tattoo, and absolutely love it.

5. My gorgeous niece was born and I became an Aunty (not by blood, but by time)

6. I started growing beautiful veggies, and am yet to be 100% content with it all. it eventually will be perfect.

- non photo 2011

• I took my little brother ice skating and taught him how to ice skate
• I moved out of home, technically that was end of 2010, but 2011 was my first year living out of home and I survived.
• I figured out what I want to do with my life, become a midwife/nurse, buy a home, have children and then if time and money allows, study to become a veterinarian.
• I found my love for homeware DIY.
• I crashed my car and learnt how to deal with it, I got a new car from my parents and realised how much I love relying on myself.
• Most recently, started my journey to overcome my fear of flying. Hoorah for holidays.
• I made a tonne of beautiful friends in 2011. They have all had a different impact on my life. I have become especially close to my best friend Nat, she is always there for me and vice versa.
• 2011, was a hard motherfucking year, but I learnt sooooo much shit in it that 2012 with all the new things I learnt will be a little bit easier, I hope.

Good-bye 2011, you will not be missed! Happy to bring in 2012 sitting on the couch watching ‘friends’ and sewing after eating a shit tonne of Indian. 2012, bring me a new Uni course, a pet bird, excitement and money and beautiful gardening escapades, travels and DIY’s… Please. 😘 (Taken with instagram)
