I just love the start of a new year . . . Chance to put those new ideas into practice . . . Clean the slate and start over . Its like starting a new excerise book at school :P ( Ill admit now I am a stationary Nerd and forever will be. Coloured post - it notes are my down fall).
Out with the old, and in with the new . . . Down come the christmas decorations, most of which are flowers. White lilies with white Amarylis and contorted Hazel twigs . . Beautiful whilst they lasted.
As a trainee Florist, Ive made some New Years Resolutions for my work.
1. Speed - this is my ultimate downfall, and after lengthy chats with florists alike, it takes time to master speed and still produce beautiful high quality work. But I cry - I dont have time!!! I need it now! Perhaps its today's 'must have it now culture' that have influenced my hunger for knowledge and skill? Who knows, but my patience is growing thin.
2. To have confidence in my design work - I know I have the skills and the techniques to make a variety of different designs, and I love to have free reign on a design but once its made, it still not quite right . . . At heart I am a perfectionist but Im also aware that Im training and these things take time to get right first time round . . . . Ahh again, TIME!! has reared its ugly head. Scrap all of the above . . . My New Years Resolution will be to have more patience for my own developement.
And without further a do . . .
I wish you all a Happy New Year!
