Boxes and more boxes...

Moving day is finally almost here!


Wednesday is the day I've been waiting for for months and months. I've been trying to start packing up but I'm having such a hard time getting started... It was just me and Juniper all day today. So that made things just about impossible. Right now I'm taking a break from packing up my craft area. I was cleaning up my sewing table and I started feeling very light headed and cold-sweat-ish. It was a very odd feeling. Being pregnant has also made packing pretty difficult... Every time I have some free time to work on it, I am too tired or nauseous. But regardless of how I'm feeling, we are moving in 4 days so I better get packing! We have babysitters set up for part of Monday, Tuesday, and all of Wednesday so that will help.

SO excited about the new place :) :) :)

4 Simple Goals

With all of the transitioning going on around here, it's the perfect time to join in Elsie and her 4 Simple Goals challenge.

So here they are...

1. Have a work space that is organized and inspiring to work in.
The organized part may seem a little far fetched, but since I just lost my job I'm going to be spending a lot more time in my studio. I want it to be a space that I enjoy being in. Right now I work in the living room... but our new apartment has a HUGE closet that I've claimed and I can't wait to turn it into my studio.

2. Take weekly pictures of my developing baby bump. 
I always said I would do this when I was preggo with Juniper, but I didn't even come close. As soon as I we move in a couple of weeks, I'm going to pick a cute spot and take a new picture every Saturday.

3. Get back into working out every night.
I used to work out every night and I really enjoyed it. Since I've gotten pregnant, I have been too nauseous and tired to even think about it. But as soon as I get through this stage of the pregnancy I'm going to start back up. I want to be as physically prepared for this baby as I can, and I want to feel healthy and pretty even though soon enough I'll be big as a whale.

4. Read more.
Now that I am not working full-time, I'd like to make the time to read. I've been stressing a lot about how I'm going to make money from home, and I need to take a little time each day to relax and read a good book.

Announcement! ♥


Juniper is going to be a big sister! 

Yay!



Ok, so her shirt is a little big... but at least it'll fit her until the new baby comes! I cut the letters out of felt and sewed them on with embroidery thread. Then I attempted to embroider "I'm Gonna Be A" .. but it turn out so great. Oh well. It's cute ♥



And what's a Big Sister celebratory photo shoot without some tree climbing!! 


I'm linking this here, just for fun :) Go check out all the cool projects!

After all, a girl can never have too many clothes!

I've had this shirt forever, and it's been so hard for me to figure out the perfect use for it. But I had a moment of inspiration the other night and finally just started sewing. I just made it up as I went along, and I love how it turned out! Of course, now I know a lot more about how this type of dress goes together, and next time I'll do a few things different. But Juniper likes her new dress so whose to argue?

Perfect for running around in circles on the bed with mommy's toothbrush.. 

Until you get tired and decide to lay down...

♥ LOVE ♥
