How very odd

I'm 45.

Last week I was having a moan to myself about what a crap year I've had. Then the sensible part of me demanded I prove it by writing down what I've achieved since my last birthday:

Finished my What I wore today challenge
Started Tea towel Tuesday
Curated Call of the Small at Craft ACT
Interviewed on ABC Central West radio
Featured in the September issue of Collectors magazine
Completed an internship at Te Papa
Where I attended National Digital Forum
Featured on the Frankie magazine blog
Credited on Greg Johnson's latest CD
Changed my blog subtitle and started a) working in 1/12th scale again b) making miniatures again
Started 2011 Inch by Inch (which only lasted three months as life got crazy)
Started a new contract which gives me full time hours (and money to pay the rent)
Invited to be part of the ANCA twentieth anniversary celebrations
Wrote an article for Uppercase magazine
Reached the final audition stage for Top Design
Interviewed for a job with Weta
Made a book
Created a window display at Little Sprout

Hmm... Maybe it wasn't a crap year after all. Maybe I'm just exhausted.
