Northern Lights – felt tip pens, jell pen, and pencil crayons

Pirate bugs and butterflies! two particularly cute ones I missed posting on the correct days, oops 🙂

Another peek at the page-a-day calendar I made my boyfriend. So cute.

Anatomical Cross-Sections Made with Quilled Paper by Lisa Nilsson

via

So ridiculously cool. This really makes me want to try out making something of my own from quilled paper. I have seen the technique in the past but this is definately the neatest thing I’ve seen made with it.

P.S. I am constantly having to prevent myself from every neat thing bookpaperscissors blogs. They’re my #1 tumblr crush with something ridiculous like 20% now, and they’re moderating a new tumblr tag #artistsontumblr. Definately very awesome, you should check it out.

New Years Resolutions

My New Years resolutions are late not so much New Years resolutions but new term resolutions.

Basically it boils down to being healthier, both physically and mentally. This term is all about reaching a balance. Here are some of the things I want to do to ensure I feel well.

  • Eat regular meals, as well as snacks when I need them
  • Cook as often as I have time for
  • Drink more water
  • Get on a sleep schedule that allows for adequate sleep, and breakfast in the mornings
  • Take a stress management class
  • Use my Tanda for hopefully clearer skin
  • Read ‘the Now Habit’
  • Allow myself treats and leisure time without feeling guilt
  • Exercise in at least the limited capacity of rockclimbing with Adam’s fam, and badminton with Leanne
  • Meet up with friends while we’re all on campus and I have a decent amount of time (Sora, Katie, Leanne, Sean, Kelvin, Laura etc.)
  • Take time to do fun things (like a Los Campesionos Concert! and a magic tournament perhaps?)
  • Read books (Can’t wait for tfios and lola and the boy next door)
  • Spend some quality time working on my own writing, comics, photography, photoshop, drawings, logo design, blog etc These things bring me joy, and therefore are important
  • Breathe Deeply
  • Skype my far away friends (Ada, James, Bethany… okay also my parents)
  • Didn’t I tell Bethany we could do some pen pallish thing? I should do that
  • Take ownership of, and power from, the decisions I make
  • Take things one step at a time, resist the urge to obcess, especially when it comes to doing ALL the things, or organizing ALL the things (you see the meme in your head right.

So hopefully I’ll be able to manage that. Right now it seems like sleep is going to be the biggest challenge.
