castles and curls


& curls

castle time

happy
new year
!
(just a wee bit late).

What I'd like to do in 2010:

Organize and keep track of my inspirations
Learn how to knit
Perfect my french
Get accepted to a study abroad program
Wake up earlier
Mail more letters
Start selling items in my etsy shop
Read the bible everyday
Do something really different to my hair (any suggestions?)
Be more adventurous
Read more
Eat as much local & organic food as possible (after seeing Food Inc., it makes me so weary of regular food)
Take ballet classes
Learn an instrument
Take a photo every day
Make girl friends

You're so beautiful! I love the embroidery.


ps: I should definitely add making girl friends to my list of resolutions. I spend every day with the same four boys. (my boyfriend and our three male cats)

I love your embroidery, thats my newest craft I've started hopefully I can be as great as you!
Mailing more letters is an amazing resolution, I absolutely love getting mail, and sending it but it never happens anymore

Oh, I think your hair is quite lovely the way it is ♥
the embroidery is just magical. A little cross stitched castle sounds utterly delightful right now ♥

youve got the dreamiest head of hair ever <3

lisa said...

my goals are pretty similar to yours this year except i try not to think of it as a goal but more of a process getting there. food inc! yes, have you read "fast food nation"? it makes me think twice before eating anything now. as far as your hair, i think it looks lovely. i wouldn't cut it since i like long hair. maybe you could dye your hair a different color or add highlights? i'd like to make more girl friends too! too bad the girls i know online who share so much in common with me like yourself live too far away. i hope you excel in everything you do :)

Clara said...

Your hair is so lovely that way. Maybe you could turn it jus a little redder so that you look slightly ginger :)
Good luck with your goals :)

stephanie renee said...

chelsey. said...

Taylor said...

here's a hair idea: an asymmetrical bob! i have very similar hair to yours and last year i got an asymmetrical bob, the left was up to my chin and the right came down to my collar bone. you'll love it!

anna elsa said...

Hi Ashley, I've been following your blog for a while, and think you're just extraordinary. I got my boyfriend a ukulele for Christmas. It's lightweight, only has four strings, and isn't too hard of an instrument to learn! I was wondering who the author of that Chanel biography of yours is. I'd like to search it out for myself. I hope you're having a wonderful day, lady. <3

Such stunning photos.

Hmm, maybe I should update more. I feel like I don't have a lot of cool stories/pictures to share, but maybe I do. Haha, yeah, maybe I'll write a new blog tonight. Just wait and see!

teri said...

The curls, the soft grey stripes, the delicate embroidery, and the twinkle lights; oh, so beautiful! Your photos have a magical quality; have I said this before? Maybe I just always think it in my head... but I love your work. So inspirational. I hope you accomplish all that you want. Happy belated New Year!

Do something to your hair? Oh but I love your hair! Very much!

Ballet classes, that would be wonderful.. I would love to, if it weren't for the fact I can't touch my toes and more than likely will never be able to.
