THE NEW YEAR

Time for high expectations, i guess, for some people.
I hear lots about De-cluttering! seems like our lifes are all cluttered up with all sorts of things and sometimes we lose the focus of the things most important to us.
We have no space in our houses or heads, to breathe, to let new things in..

Also we are too hard with ourselves, i suppose.
Making all these demands, well the usual.., be more organised, stop bad habits, really finally start doing what we always wanted..
Usually it works for a couple of days or we can change a little, too little..?


Anyways, i learned you can make a lot happening by listened to yourself, be true to yourself and making a precise statement about what do you want to do.
Know your limits is a big one, get to know yourself.
What is the best way to that? Thats what id like to know!

But i made my lists for this year, quite a few of them, im pushing myself, im having fun challenging myself, as long as its not too stressful and i Love learning new things!



My Goal for this year is to build my little business, which i just started a couple of months ago, into a giant corporation,... just kidding!

No, but i wanna live of the money it makes me and i want to live well and i think i deserve this for myself!

I think the biggest problem with (new years) resolutions is, we are trying to do too much in too short of a time frame.
If we make a mistake or cant keep it up for one day, we tend to get discouraged or angry and frustrated with ourselves.
Just keep going, keep your destination in mind, be kind to yourself, but still keep challenging yourself.
Like an athlete, building up muscles, they arent there over night either!


I wish You a Lovely Successful Fulfilling New Year, you deserve it!:)

And let me know about the best way to get to know yourself, im quite curious!

SPIDER CHECK

i hate spiders, snakes, generally all creepy crawlies.. i go into the water just with my legs, ..i got a shark paranoia now too, ..jellyfish and the water and the beach arent the cleanest anyways.

everytime i drive my car i do a spider check, it saved my life before.. 
one day i had a huntsman spider sitting Right inside my door frame.
if i wudnt have checked it, it cud have killed me, theyre not poisenous, but having a big spider crawling up on my shoulder while im driving 80km, well a lot of hyperventilating and breathing difficulties dont really help with ur road safety.
(of curz i wudnt put pictures of these spiders on my blogs; are u kidding, check them out here)

when i go to sleep i do a spider check now, one woman i know told me she found a spider once, under her duvet. Great, another thing to worry about!
one night i switched the light on for some reason and there was a big spider right next to the lamp, Next To My Headboard!
usually i scream and demand for them to be taken away, ..by my boyfriend, i bought some spider sprays, so i feel a bit safer again.
we have to sleep with open windows now, coz of the heat.. well no comment necessary..

one time i went walking with my boyfriend and we saw a brown snake,
'The Eastern Brown Snake (Pseudonaja textilis), often referred to as the Brown Snake, is an elapid snake native to Australia. It is one of the world's deadliest snakes.' from wikipedia

of curz he had to get close to take pictures of it! That is the snake. i think he is crazy, sometimes..


im not 100% sure if it was a brown snake or not, but it was a big snake and it was brown and im german, so i dont know it better, but that is ALL i need to know.

well, what can i say i wanna go back to europe, but its soo cold there! damn it!

NEW POST

Fuck, i feel like i have to post something new, but i never remember what, when im actually on the web!
I found this amazing cake website yesterday on twitter and i have to say these cakes are truly amazing!
http://englishrussia.com/?p=851

Also i started doing a new line in my shop, i have two dress lines now, one is more casual, sporty, elegant dresses, i havent got an actual name for it yet and the other one is called 'LOST WORLD COLLECTION' and i use predominantly vintage fabrics in this one. Thats also were the name comes from, from past times, lost memories, certain colours and prints people used to wear..
which i find quite interesting and dramatic in some way.
The dress in the first picture is called 'MIDNIGHT MOON'

And this is my '70's GARDEN PARTY DRESS' and it was a already featured on etsy's frontpage and a blog!:) Yeah! Great to know when people like my stuff!



Thanks for looking!

THE STORY OF STUFF

Hi!
So i was talking to a couple of people and posted in the etsy forums about business ethics and over-consumption and i got quite interesting responses from people.
Quite a few of them send me a link of a little video clip called "The Story Of Stuff" and they seem to rather like it, i watched it and i think its quite informative and gives an overview of the consumption situation in todays society.
SO, i thought i put it on my blog!

Here it is, enjoy!
