After a lovely extended holiday break, I am back fresh and revitalised and seriously excited about 2012.
This year is going to be a fabulous year as I have a lot of plans in the creative pipeline and already I have begun the year unlike any other to date with a clear vision in mind.
A vision of who I want to be and how I want to live my life.
Too many times I feel we want and focus too much time and energy on what we want to achieve rather than just being and or expressing who we are and what we already have.
My life is already bliss.
I have a man who loves, respects and supports me.
We live in a wonderful peaceful private beautiful part of the world and we have the most wonderful neighbours who live their lives not unsimilar to ours.
We all get on marvelously well together as well as respecting each others space and privacy.
I am happy, healthy and creative everyday of my life and I am living my dream.
So this year rather than wanting-wanting-wanting, more and more and more I am going to enjoy what I have already got and enjoy it graciously.
When I look back and daydream about the past I lose track of where I am and who I am.
The future can only look brighter but for now I want to enjoy the present.
I am going to embrace you 2012 for all that you are to me already.
I am going to stroll along the beach barefoot more often and splash in the the ocean and I am going to enjoy my garden and capture more sunlight hours with my camera and with my soul.
And of course I must share with you some new styles I will be making more of in 2012.
The “Vintage Wrap” dress.
And the best thing I have come up with thus far is a new dress for the ladies.
A dress I call the “Sweetheart”.
So what do you think? I love the new “Sweetheart”.

Gorgeous – love the sweetheart! Glad you’re back and have had a great holiday. I relate to your sentiment totally. I once read somewhere “Remember you are a human being, not a human doing.” It reminds me of what you are saying here.
Thanks Naomi, love that quote, “a human being not a human doing”.
I love sweetheart necklines, beautiful. Good for you, hope 2012 is everything you hope.
Thanks Jodie, I hope 2012 is great for you also and I hope to make a lot more sweetheart neck line dresses this year as they are so gorgeous and feminine.
Yup, the cut of the sweetheart is, well, sweet. I can see a lot of girls looking great in those! Great work, grace
