Compared with 2009, I felt considerably less productive in 2010. While I accomplished a few of my resolutions, I’ll be carrying many over with me into 2011. Before I launch myself into forward-thinking, however, I’d like to revisit a few of my posts and adventures from this past year!
January
Experimentation with my sister’s ƒ1.8 lens, also featured as sfgirlbybay’s Tuesday’s Girl / Matchy-matchy in my Orla Kiely dress with Miu Miu clutch / Sister’s H&M bow jacket / Christmas gift from my boyfriend / Agent Provocateur Indulgence
February
Death of Alexander McQueen / Modal & silk shirt by Alternative Apparel / Beautiful snowfall in Denton / Wishing for my red hair again / Watercolor paintings
March
St. Patrick’s Day (could not have been better) / Photos from the New Orleans market / Read a ton of Haruki Murakami / Took part in a Japanese Tea Ceremony / New Orleans architecture
April
Japanese Spring Festival / Yann Tiersen concert / Painted my favorite triptych to date
May
Nothing but painting in May
June
Trip to an alpaca farm / Homemade pizza / Feminine details / Invested a good 40 hours in a costume I never finished / Celebrated my birthday
July
Momo gets fixed! / Mark and I attend Anime Expo 2010 / Mark and I visit Santa Monica, CA
August
Bought a skirt from Zara / Yet again invested in an AP bra / Mourned the loss of summer / Took a weekend trip to the beautiful town of Marfa
September & October
Not much happened in September, but I did buy this Free People slip / Went as Marie Antoinette for Halloween / Mark went as one of the Monarch’s Henchmen / Went to the Japanese Fall Festival / Celebrated See Creature’s 1-year anniversary
November
“Mathematic” hand study / Watched entirely too much of “The Universe” / Painted in oils / Discovered a favorite cookie recipe
Now that that exhausting exercise is over, I’m ready to welcome the New Year with a few resolutions! More ART, more SAVING money, and hopefully a See Creatures shop within the next couple of months!*
*Other resolutions include: eating less fast food, buying fewer black clothes, and investing in a bed frame

SOMEHOW I missed your post about seeing Yann Teirsen in concert! I saw him in Ireland and was slightly disappointed that his new album is nothing like his previous albums. I would have been more than thrilled to see him play any of his other stuff- what, all six or seven albums. Anyway, I’m just glad I saw him in person play his stuff, hugged him, got his autograph, you know- the silly fan girl stuff.
Happy New Year! I hope you have a great 2011.
