Happy New Year!
This year is already starting off pretty good.
I have been asked to illustrate Big Girl Knits 2! Yay! The first one turned out so lovely. I am thrilled the ladies invited me back to participate.
I am starting my two classes at the Academy of Art University this month. I am going to finish my degree and get a B.F.A in Illustration. It will probably take me five years and a million dollars at the pace I am moving, but that's okay.
Fran Bigelow from Fran's Chocolates is coming to the Bayview School of Cooking in a few weeks and I get to be one of the assistants!! Yee-haw! I had heard so much about her, but had never tried her chocolates until Megan very kindly introduced me to some of her famous salted caramels. They were SO good. Needless to say I am very excited/nervous about it.
I love making resolutions. I am not so good at keeping them, but I absolutely love making them.
1. Eat healthier - no more Tim's Chips! They are crack!
2. Exercise more - we are going elliptical shopping this weekend, and there is a Bikram yoga studio a few blocks from here I might check out
3. Work on the house - first task is to paint the hallway/entry area
4. Make more money - ugh
5. Spend less money - ugh
6. Send out illustration promos - this is starting to become a resolution list veteran, lame Erica!
7. Nurture friendships - there are a bunch of ladies up in Seattle I need to visit this year which leads to:
8. Get over fear of driving in Seattle
8. Plant a garden - the seed catalog has been ordered
9. Sew more - the Joanns on this side of town closed last month and they were liquidating EVERYTHING at super low prices and I got about 30+ sewing patterns over the course of two days for about a buck a piece. Major score!
10. Craft more - Lots of projects are in the queue
11. Blog more - not everyday, but I think more than just once a week
I am sure there are more, but I don't want to get too ambitious!
