What 2014 brought me...

Hello! Now, this isn't a "typical" blog post about books or films or whatever. Well, it kind of is if you think of this time of year, it's a somewhat typical blog post.

In this blog post, my intention is to be reflective over what 2014 brought me. If any of you reading this have experienced the same experiences, please comment below! If you feel that you'd like to share some of your 2014 experiences with me, the comment box is there for you too! So, here goes!

2014. What a year. I've achieved what I thought was not to be achieved. I graduated fromYork St John University with a high 2:2, kicking myself for that one module I didn't do so well in. Because of this (yes I've used because as a sentence started, shoot me), I've moved from my wonderful house in York back to living with my parents in my hometown. Which isn't such a bad thing as I'm currently living rent free until I enter a full time job. High five for free internet!

I've regained my love for books and stitching. And odd combination, but it works for me. I know people will be thinking "oh but you've barely blogged about this and you've said you would" but things get in the way and I genuinely forget. However, regaining my love for books is something I thought would never ever happen, considering for the past three years all I have managed to do is read about theologians, so I'm pretty pleased that my reading for pleasure has come back.

I started stitching when I was young and then kind of forgot about it (a running theme in my life, no lie). Until recently, and I went kind of mad with stitching, purchasing lots and lots of kits and never finishing them, some even left unstarted! And then christmas came around an I started stitching tags for gifts, so that sidelined everything and became my main focus. I don't know how, but I managed to create half a dozen gift tags. I'm quite proud!

I took my family holiday this year, and my wonderful boyfriend was allowed to come too! I did so much in those two weeks in a country I've been visiting for a good 15 years that I've never done before this year, and if I had the chance, I'd do them all again!
Tip; if you ever visit Mt. Teide in Tenerife, take a jacket. Sounds daft but it is FREEZING at the top!

At the minute I can't think of any more major major highlights other than attending my boyfriends graduation, so I'll leave it here.

See you all in 2015! X
