revamped

finally taking the time to post a substantial update on this blog has encouraged me to revamp the website. a rejuvenation that was long over due. the website has a much softer feeling and natural colour pallet which i feel is much more inline with that i originally envisioned for this blog. so, for those of you who still meander back onto this blog from time to time i hope you enjoy the new Duchess Nonetheless  as much as i do.

realizing yesterday i've had the blog for over a year now, i'm happy it got the face-lift it deserved. it's so nice when you feel good about something, or like the way something turned out because it promotes you to do more and further it somehow. for example i've one million blog posts jumping around inside my brain now. i'm motivated all over again!

however, to post one million at this time would be quite difficult. so here is one. another kind of 'revampment'.

i felt like doing some arts and crafts the other night. once in a while i feel the strong need to draw, or paint or create something, anything. i remembered there were what seemed like hundreds of old, used and unused, postcards and cards in the desk in the old lija house. i wanted to do something with them and these are some of the results.
