Currently...

I've been a bit quiet of late so I thought I'd do a "Currently..." post for a bit of a life update

Reading: The Siege by Helen Dunmore. This was a gift from my Dad. We have really similar tastes so I love it when he buys me books. I'm pretty near the beginning but already I'm loving it - beautiful descriptions and words that flow effortlessly.

Watching: At the moment Tom and I are watching season 2 of Boardwalk Empire. When Katie and I were in New York a few years ago we saw Michael Pitt on the subway in Brooklyn. He was literally sat right opposite us. I was incredibly excited. Obviously, Boardwalk Empire didn't exist then...we were just excited we'd seen Henry from Dawson's Creek....

Listening to: Well right now this second I'm listening to Push It by Salt n Pepper as I've got 6music on. It's a great track though. I've also been listening to No Doubt's new album Push and Shove. No Doubt have been one of my all-time favourite bands since I was about 11 years old. I finally got to see them when I was 17 and to this day (even after all of the hundreds of bands I've seen) it is still one of my favourite gigs. The new album is growing on me - there are definitely some great pop songs on it and hopefully the release of this album will mean a UK tour!

Thinking about: all of the projects I'm working on at the moment. Work has been pretty busy which is so great! I'm working on a real variety of stuff at the moment from training community organisers how to get the most out of digital, social media research, marketing strategy for a not-for-profit organisation, writing articles for a government organisation and lots more! I'm so happy that my business has taken off, I am thoroughly enjoying working for myself and getting to work with some amazing clients. I've never felt such job satisfaction before. It's brilliant!

Loving: my new craft project. I've started making a quilt to try and use up all of the ridiculous amounts of fabric I have. I haven't made one before so it'll be interesting to see how it turns out!

Looking forward to: the weekend as my Dad is coming down. I am of course excited to see my Dad but the reason for his visit is to deliver my writing bureau! He's made it from scratch and has taken him about 400 hours in total! I am so excited to see it in real life. The pictures look absolutely beautiful.

When it was a work in progress

Making me happy: Just feeling like my life is how I want it to be. 2012 has been a funny old year with lots of unhappiness and stress but right now I feel pretty good about everything. I want to hold on to this positivity.

I pinched this picture off Katie - it was from our holiday to the Norfolk Broads - and it makes me smile :)
