new year, bigger adventures

I don't think I could have arranged a bigger full stop for 2010.

Two days before New Year's Eve I got a call from a magazine that I was trying to drum up some work with way back in September.

Would you believe it? They offered me a full time journo job. On the spot.

Out of the blue doesn't adequately describe it...

But after what's been a pretty disappointing and frustrating year in terms of work, it was a pretty tempting offer.

And as it happens, I've taken it.

I resigned from my current job on December 31.

And I can't wait to start writing and chasing my own stories again.

On the topic of craft...

Over the Christmas period I sold out of owls on madeit.com.au.

So I've decided to really ramp it up this year and see how far I can push it. I'm going to channel some serious energy into building up the store and branching out in different directions. Having my own sewing machine is a serious bonus and means there are lots of things I can work on now that just weren't possible before.

Feeling really good about 2011.

Here's to a year of following the heart.
