peas in a pod update...

So I've been absent... for a long time. Wanna know why?

I'm pregnant! That's right, I found out at the end of April. I'm expecting a baby January 7th. It's going to be my first and there have been a lot of new things I'm experiencing along the way.

That said, we're also renovating our basement... yikes! It's quite the process and I'll have to post some photos at some point. With the baby and basement coming along, our house dynamic and layout are shifting. My craft room will be moving downstairs to allow the baby to be next door to our master bedroom. Because of this and because of all our storage being moved up to the main floor, our house is a disaster and I honestly have no desire to do anything until I am actually able to clean up.

I will say that I have been kept very busy with the Peas in a Pod pendants! My Mom's cousin and aunt have given me crazy amount of orders and I finally finished them before we headed to Mexico a couple weeks ago. I was thankful to have them done. I have one more pending order but I have to buy some more pears because the colours that I need I am out of.

Anyway, I updated my facebook page with photos of most of the completed orders. Please check them out here!

Thanks for your patience... thanks for reading at all!

anxiousness breeds...

As I thought to write a post starting with the word "anxiousness", I googled "anxiousness breeds" and all I found was negative! Anxiousness breeds more chaos, fear, anxiousness, insanity, isometric tension, mistrust... the list goes on.

I would hope that my "anxiousness breeds" statement would end in "creative energy" or "creative genius" or something a little more positive.

This past Saturday was my grandpa's 80th birthday and after the party was all said and done, the "kids" a.k.a. my aunts and uncle came over and went through all of my grandpa's belongings and decided what they wanted and anything left over is considered unwanted and we'll have to either donate or garbage (depending on condition) the rest.

So, after all this is done, I can unpack my sewing machine and other craft supplies and set up my own craft room!! I am really excited. This will be the first room that will be mine to do whatever I want. I can't wait to start making things for this year's Tilley Christmas Fair. It'll come sooner than I want and I want to get a head start on things! I guess you could say that I'm anxious (insert sarcastic laughter here ha ha).

Until next time...
