So 2009

Some people asked about the toy pictured on the Christmas picture. He’s called Baby Treeson. Sadly they’re hard to come by these days, but you might want to look at the new series called Treeson & Other Stories.

The new pixel clocks and calendars are finally up! You can find them in the pixel goodies menu.

Well it’s the end of 2009, I guess you’ve already noticed Wink. So it’s time for a little retrospective. Actually not many exciting things have happened in my personal life this year, which I’m grateful for. No news is good news Smile.

So this is the very non exciting stuff that has happened in 2009:

  • One of my clients appeared on the news, during the item they showed the brochure that I had designed *proud*
  • I started twittering this year
  • We got a new cat named Catootje, she and Kuchi are getting along fine these days
  • My grandmother passed away at the age of 95 Sad
  • We rebuild our backyard and even grew our own baby tomatoes
  • I got my first SLR camera this summer
  • Discovered deco-den and finally getting along with my sewing machine
  • Despite the economical crisis I’ve worked more than before

Also my ex boyfriend made his appearance on the “X-Factor”, although he didn’t make it through the auditions and my hubby’s ex girlfriend was on a few shows of “Take me Out” - lol.
Now on to the good resolutions!

  • Working less hours. Right now I have so little personal time and you only live once
  • Repainting some of the walls in our house
  • Going on a trip to Tokyo
  • Spending more time doing creative things -other than webdesign- maybe I’ll start an Etsy shop
  • Spending more time on this site and hopefully create a free Wordpress theme
  • Getting some more exercise

That’s it Smile I hope you have a great ending of this year and a wonderful 2010!

By the way I can recommend visiting the 2009 in photo’s post (it consist of 3 parts). The pictures are often breathtaking.

Monthly Spotlight: Paxjah

I’ve decided to give the Monthly Spotlight a new try, with shorter entries. Each month I will place a link to a site that I think is worth visiting.

This month I want to bring www.Paxjah.com to your attention. Angélique aka Paxjah is a pixel artist, who first started out with dolling and has been pixelling for 9 years now. I think her experience definitely shows in her work. She has worked with several online RPG sites -like Whuddleworld- and created icons and avatars for many other clients. Please check out her cute gallery and adoption section.

Happy X-mas!

I hope you have a great time with family and/or friends Smile

We’ll be celebrating X-mas tomorrow with my parents and guess what we’re going to eat…?
Sushi! My dad officially rules Wink
Now let’s hope my little niece doesn’t want to play with me whole day long and I’m sure I’ll make it safely through the Holiday Season.
