sorry i've not blogged for a week or so but i've been a bit head down with the end of the digital advent calendar and making sure i had all that finished up in time.

was quite a drain on the brain that, but worth it. another block of work, daily videos that i can talk to potential future clients regarding daily content retainers.

currently sitting on the cardiff train at five to eleven listening to norah jones with a one though process in my head -- seeing my daughter and having a fun day, which actually is quite a challenge, had a few lovely bottles of wine last night.

so my christmas came and went and it was everything i enjoy about serenity -- dan and cj went to their folks respectively and i just did nothing. opened one present, made soup and just had the moment chilled out day.

christmas is a nice full stop on a working year but i can only do it for a few days before i have to be up and out in the studio or working, planning or sketching -- those ideas just keep coming and existing projects need organising and pushing forward.

that's not to say that my mind is all over the place because it is. i'm thinking about transport, housing, ark project, studio and money to actually get ahead rather than maintain.

i dislike just maintaining a level of normality, i always want to push myself to do more. life is too enjoyable not to be present in it.

so christmas day two with bella today opening presents and generally having a textiles and sticking and gluing kind of day with her. expect pictures and videos in the usual channels. you know she is my little star.

then i actually feel like getting straight back into work, the redesigns i think and structure of the show output are really important things for me to start concentrating on as well as the widget and coding things i have going with labmediauk.

very keen this next year to push forward on the shows and building up some more advocate work from other companies, i think a lot more businesses will start to come online with social media, i just hope that they realise when they start it looks lames if you stop.

very keen to get some kind of housing early on in the first quarter of 2012 and i'm absolutely desperate for some transport to get me over to the ark location regularly until we hear news of any funds release for the project.

hoping you all had a fantastic christmas, i've been watching and looking at all your path and instagram content over the last week seeing you enjoying yourself. that's awesome. glad you had an awesome time.

oh, not sure if i've really posted about it that much but we are coming to the end of the digital advent calendar for the month of december. if you haven't seen it yet you might pick up some good tips in it!

been awake about an hour now since 8am and came to bed around 11:30pm last night after a fair chunk of my bushmills whisky cj and dan bought me for christmas - darn love that whisky.

I passed out just before the new year and got the most solid rested, dead like passed out in a long time, worried if I get vertical that my legs will not support that action. blogging from bed via itouch and the posterous application.

right, better get up and mobile eh?

we made progress right?

i'd like to think so.  i'm not really money wise and nearby time future proofed enough yet and i know i have a few elements of rolling out i need to do but i feel that my friend network and the connections that i have called on that know what i'm going through totally supported me - for that, truly.

i'm super thankful. like an elephant i do not forget these things.  it's what powers me up everyday to keep chipping away at my visions but also what gives me the clarity to strive for what i'm trying to get done.

feels like a bit of a mission and certain components fitting into place would help amazingly but at this time of year, the moment that a lot of people start to look back on the year and map out a little of the road ahead it's good to just stop. stand for a moment, raise a glass.  and be thankfully for this grain of sand moment.

love your kids.  take gentle steps.  be everything you can be.  and let people know you love them.

merry christmas.

boy i've missed my poppet.. .

money, travelling, snow and a bunch of other factors have made it pretty darn impossible to see bella - including personal self created upset.  when your so driven and so determined about something you can forget to stop and think about the ramifications to yourself.

i only have to go through my video archives however to know that things are often alright.

i'm coming baby.  see you in a few hours. ..

i love the picture in the charity shop about santa bringing them clothes for christmas.
