I’m just super busy reading reading reading and getting ready for baby.

Some things were up in the air regarding my jewelry, but everything has settled now.

This means I actually haven’t forgotten and yes I am still having the sale. Instead of closing the business by Dec 31, I’m giving it until around Jan 14. Safe enough distance from baby being born and one week before my 31st birthday. I’ll announce everything next week.

To slightly catch you up to speed-

This was taken a few weeks ago. Me at 25 weeks.

I’ve been cooking and eating (mainly eating) up a storm. And trying to drink as much water as possible. I’ve had a surprisingly hard time with drinking water. Most of the time I’m not thirsty. But I have my moments. I try to walk a lot. I’m not so confident on the bicycle anymore (I was biking everywhere for a good chunk of time) so I definitely make a point to walk. I’ve tried to be good about prenatal yoga, but I get lazy. Although I will not knock it. It definitely helps.

This I know for sure: I absolutely LOVE being pregnant! L.O.V.E. LOVE! Oh it’s the best feeling ever created.

I’ve started a new blog. One that’s currently charting our pregnancy experience. Stop by and have a look and leave a message. Baby, the great.

Ciao for now. I’ll be back in a few days. I promise this time. Just waiting on a flyer to be made and then cleaning up the shop.

Hi

I have good reason for being gone.

Real good reason.

I can’t promise I’ll be back daily, but I will be back periodically.
Tons of things are changing. For one, I’m going to stop making jewelry for a few months (probably closer to a year). Before I do, I really want to have a sale til every last piece is gone on to a happy home. I’ll be back with details on that. I’d like to be done with that before the year is over.
Also, I’m trying to concentrate more on writing and some other projects that I’ve been sitting on for months and want to develop. So let’s see where all that goes. In the meantime, I’m here. Say hi.

Happy Friday!

This week has been awesome and exciting. I am getting ready for my very first infrared sauna appointment. I’ll report next week how it felt. I had a gang of posts I was working on all week, but just never had enough time to edit and get them posted. No worries. The news will all be relevant next week, when you read it.

Yesterday was my 6 year anniversary of meeting the love of my current and future lifetimes. We celebrated by going to see the ballet. We’re fancy. Yesterday was also my one year anniversary of becoming officially British. Holla at double special days! Tomorrow is the opening of the Mr.’s latest exhibition, Essentials. If you’re in Amsterdam, stop by the Battalion from 4-10 to see his work and buy something for yourself and a friend. He’ll have lots of fun stuff available.

Just wanted to let you know that I’ve streamlined the pricing in my shop and that it will be available until Tuesday of next week, when I make a major decision about what stays live. I also have MAJOR news to announce next week. The time has finally come.

I’ve also done quite a bit of cooking and hanging out with friends so forgive the absence. But I will have a recipe to share next week as well! Whut whut!

Well, I’ve got to get this face mask on before my appointment.
How was your week? Do anything exciting?

Have an amazing weekend! I’ll be back on Monday. Pinky swear.

Happy Monday one & all…

I’ve had an incredible past few weeks and the best part of it so far happened on Saturday. I’ll get into it more as this month progresses, but just know that some things will definitely be changing around here quite soon! I wanted to start the week with a bunch of things that brought me great joy lately.

It would be pretty dope to try and make this myself, but for those who can’t (or if I somehow give up) this blanket by Good Knits has my name written all over it. (via Danni)

I decided not too long ago that I want to try and grow my hair again. I’ve done it a few times successfully, but I am a bit scissor happy. I think I want to make an inspiration board and put it up in the house with these amazing women. The Coiffure Project will keep me in check.

This video has me feeling pathetic about not doing yoga like I used to so I’m really recommitting myself to getting my old super fit self back. No more slacking. Seriously.

Our super friend and tattoo artist Guen Douglas just did another amazing tattoo on my husband last week. It is fashioned after Indonesian Wayang shadow puppets and holds a special place in D’s heart.

Have an amazing day!
