 "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

Eleanor Roosevelt 

As always, Eleanor said it better than I ever could.

My mini-series on Etsy tips finished last week and I'm left wondering what I want to talk about. I have a notebook filled with ideas but, for some reason, none of them feel quite right. 

If you have any ideas about what you'd like to see more of or something magical I'm completely missing out on then let me know!

PURPLE LIPSTICK AND BARBIE SHOES

Where the hell did January go?

I feel weirdly delayed because my year didn't really start until last week. I've been busy creating goals and trying to organise 2013 and everyone else seems to be already settled into the year!

Well, as an avid list and goal maker (what do you mean type A?!) I believe in goal-setting year round. I've been photographing all the things I've made (like this Barbie shoe necklace - coming soon!) and making even more bits and bobs. I finally have a phone again and I'm so happy because I literally missed Instagram on a daily basis! Let me know if you're an Instagram addict too, I'd love to add some more people. I'm @gabriellamurray. I just got Vine too (Gabriella Murray) and I'm desperately trying to get the hang of it!

Social networking will be the death of me.

Busy doing Nothing

This t-shirt is probably one of my all time favourites. Not only because it's bright and beautiful and features Ganesh, but because I got it from a beautiful market stall in New Delhi, India.

India is, without a doubt, my favourite place on earth. As the saying goes: "Pink is the navy blue of India," so how could such a place not be my cultural soulmate. With all it's beauty, colour, hustle and bustle, sounds, yoga and, let's not forget, the most amazing vegetarian food you could imagine, India made for such a memorable travel destination that I cannot wait to revisit.

My dogs are constantly in any photos I ever try to take and I am not at all apologetic because they are beautiful! Look at Alfie waiting with her baseball! She's just the cutest.

I've been taking care of these baby sparrows for the past few days after they nest fell down. Unfortunately one died during the first night but I fed the other two and today they were strong enough to fly on their own. I named them Troy and Abed and they will always been in my heart. 



In other news, I finally finished some stickers sets I've been dreaming of! They are of sweet little watercolour illustrations I've done and this Cat Lady themed collection, as well as two others - Naughty Words and Feminism Hearts, can be found in my etsy shop! So please do have a look!

Happy Tuesday!
