Yay.

So, um, it turns out I’m going to be starting a masters course in October.

Museums and Galleries: The History of Textiles and Dress, at the Winchester School of Arts (University of Southampton).

Thoughts on My Own Inadequacies.

Lately, I have been thinking about design. More specifically I have been wondering whether I will ever have the capacity to design. I am not very intelligent,  but I enjoy textile work and it appears to be something I have a vague natural aptitude for. That is, until I come to designing. I have ideas, I have lots of ideas. But I can never get them from paper to reality. I expect that it is technical knowledge I am lacking. (As usual).

Until very recently I had a tendency to be very hard on myself when I could not do something. I appear to see myself in a very harsh light. This is probably a good thing as it gives me a clear view of my own limitations. At the same time it often means I don’t try new things because I am afraid of how I will feel if I fail.

I have been trying to change my style. I got bored with the old Me. I expect I will just end up the same. But perhaps with nicer clothes.
