It is 10.30pm NYE here in Sydney. I am just about to make a late cuppa and sit down and flick through these books…. my collection of 2014 sketchbooks.

19 completed – 6 still in use. This was a really hard sketch to do – getting so confused with all those A4 folio moleskine in a row and with distractions caused by the Strikers and KP’s laugh (hmm…anyone know what I am referring to?) But now the TV is off and it is lovely and quiet in my neighbourhood at the moment.

For me I prefer to see the old year out in a reflective way – quietly. Reflecting on the ups and downs, those family members and friends that have had tough times…and the many many mercies and constant protection! I can’t even begin to list the things I am thankful for.

Deut 31.8 And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee.

I will add more details later on what these books all are… but just to quickly wish you all a

Happy New Year!

What a great 2014! – thanks for all the support and views and comments and encouragements – you all inspire me to keep moving and learning and sketching and having fun!
