I love me an archival project. Always have. I keep ticket stubs and scrapbooks full of band posters and festival wristbands. I get caught up thinking about what was happening on this day, five years ago. What music was playing, what movie I was watching, what book was on my bedside table.
I also love reading. I have since I was a kid, but it really fell away as I got older. Enter: audio books. Some say they don’t count, but if it means I’m devouring stories again, bring it on!
So here’s an exercise in type, and a selection of books I’ve ‘read’ this year. I think my count is up to 26, and I’m hoping to build on that in 2019. I have an embarrassing love of crime/thriller/murder mystery (recommendations, come at me), really enjoy an autobiography, and trying to seek out more that will help me as a human.
Rant over, happy nearly new year!
Reflecting on the past year and trying to take the time to acknowledge all that’s happened, all that’s been achieved. Too often I blow past things that I wouldn’t have dreamt about doing a couple of years ago, because I’m already focusing on what’s next. Trying to take the time to relax, take stock, and yeah, maybe even give myself a pat on the back. I’m also making sure there’s time to watch a lot (OK all) of The Bold Type.

Love playing with different styles and lockups 😊 These were for my book club…which I’d still like to make into a pin/patch/tote.
Would I have any takers? Which one would be your pick? 📚
About six years ago I drew this. Goals for 2019: I’d like to spend some more time drawing eyes and overexcited eyebrows on, and imagining conversations between, other household items.
Lapel pin for the human, dog tag for the doggo, this is the Jake and George BFF Combo 😆 Named after wonderful dogs I’ve met, these products are available via my website!
