I hope everyone had a great Christmas and new year! I had a great one spending it with my family in Leicester, Joe's parents in Hastings and some great friends in Hastings for New years.
2011 has started off quite well for me. My favourite number being 11 too. For a couple of reasons, one it being my life path number and two I have this connection with the number 11 and guardian angels.
This Christmas again I made all my presents. This year I made more of an effort as I had more time. The presents went down so well my mum and sisters said I was mad not to be selling my stuff. As it has been so hard to find work at the moment and always wanting to work for myself anyway I decided I should go for it. I have always wanted to do this, whether it be clothes, costume, photography but I never did because I never had any confidence in my own work. My family gave me that confidence and motivation I needed. They have been so supportive in many ways that I could not have started it without them.
I named my new little venture Forest Elf which has been a name Ive had with me for a while. I was nicked named pixie and faery as a child and I have always had a huge love of trees! I have started to create a website but started off on Facebook to get the word around. It had a great response and I am already getting orders in nearly everyday. Its very exciting and I am loving doing something I enjoy.
Please have a look if you have not already http://www.facebook.com/forestelf22
Hoping to get the website up and running soon. I really want this to turn into something bigger then a side line thing so am going to work really hard to make it happen.
It feels great to finally be doing something. In the end I couldn't do my costume design course as I could not afford the fees. I love costume and still would love to make clothes and costume. Its something I will think of doing when I expand.
As for my boobs.... well I noticed something not right with my implant in my real boob. I went to see my surgeon and he said that it had dropped and would need more surgery to rectify this. As you can imagine the thought of more surgery is the last thing I want. He again gave me choices of how to rectify it. A breast uplift or another mastectomy. Another mastectomy does sound drastic but I am so fed up with it all I feel like just being done with it and having it off. Not only will it give me peace of mind but I will have a matching pair rather then a very odd pair. I'm seeing my surgeon in Feb to tell him which Ive gone for then I will go on the waiting list. Although I don't feel in a hurry to have more surgery. The nipple reconstruction will get done at the same time though so that's good.
I'm hoping that will be the only rubbish thing I have to go through this year. I really want to put it all behind me now.
Lincoln didn't turn out so well for me. I was excited about the move for Joe and I and had got a job which I knew I would enjoy. Things seemed to start off well. However I was unfairly dismissed for being dyslexic with maths. It was a real kick in the teeth and got me down. I think its helped so determined to do my own thing and I do believe everything happens for a reason, good and bad. I also found it very tough going from exciting Brighton to not so exciting Lincoln. I felt very cut off and missed all my friends and family.
The snow in Lincoln was amazing though! I can not remember the last time I saw snow like that in the UK.
I will be moving into a little cottage south of Leicestershire. It comes with a forge and is on a country estate. A lot of the outbuildings have been turned into houses, art studios and businesses such as an Organic food shop. Theres a great little community there of like minded people. I get my own allotment too! It will be as close to The Good Life as I can get at the moment.
Its a perfect place for Joe and I to both end up. We saw it last year but it had already been leased out so we were waiting for it to come up again. We had no idea it would come up this soon but feel its perfect timing for me. Joe has a good job in Lincoln so there are no plans of him moving just yet.
So this year seems like its going to be a good one! Things are finally coming together and about bloody time!!
