work is not a job.

i came across this manifesto by workisnotajob. yesterday and i thought it was fitting that i share it with you today.

i’ve been feeling super guilty lately because i haven’t been blogging much and it’s because i’ve been working A LOT!  i’ve had several projects going on at once, keeping up with my Etsy shops, dealing with super fast turnaround times, many late nights and sometimes feeling a bit overwhelmed with it all, but somehow as i sit here, writing this blog, i feel happy.  yes, even as i sit here in front of my computer on a friday night.  maybe it’s the extra day of yoga i had this week.  or maybe it’s simply like this manifesto says and that i just love what i do.  so yes, i agree, work is not a job, but simply the transfer of energy.

i hope you’ll forgive me for not blogging lately.  i’ve at least been taking pictures of all my projects, so hopefully i will get a chance to post and share them with you soon.

happy love day

wishing you lots of love on this valentine’s day…

these two cute little hedgehogs are actually little dryer balls.  aren’t they cute?  and practical too!  i like my clothes to come out of the dryer soft and fluffy, but i hate having to use fabric softener, so i got these guys to do the job for me.  they are designed by kikkerland design and you can buy your own set here.

forecast: a chance of (baby) shower

my little shower invitation, got a little twist recently.  i had a custom request for the invitation to be all pink with really cute wording to go with the imagery.  little registry inserts were added to the invitation along with matching thank you notes.

if you like this set or want to create a custom set of your own, email me and i’d be happy to help you announce your next party.

blissed with mb

my yoga instructor, mary beth, aka mb, recently updated her website and i was so excited when she asked me to help create a tank top for her to wear for her photoshoot. she wanted the words “blissed” across the tank similar to the type face she uses on the header of her blog, “ananda,” which means bliss in sanskrit.

blissed pretty much sums up the way i feel after every single one of mb’s classes. you should check her out sometime whether you’re already into yoga or just discovering it for the first time. her classes are always full of fun, sweat and great music! she teaches at a couple yoga studios over on the westside, or if you’re not local, you can catch her class online.

movin’ and groovin’

my blog has sort of taken a back seat since i’ve moved.  but i thought i’d post a few pics since the new year (and move) to fill you in on what i’ve been up to.

would you be surprised to learn that all these boxes actually have been put away?  well at least 90% have.  the remaining 10% await some sort of storage space.

to make room for everything, i had to get rid of a lot, so, i had my first ever yard sale.  of course i had to make a cute sign for it.  it was a lot of fun to see “one man’s junk, is another man’s treasure” in full effect.

in between all this unpacking and organizing, both Etsy shops have been super busy.  i think 2012 is turning out to be the year of babies and parties.  i’ve made so many onesies and invitations already and we’re only in the middle of january!  i love it!

through it all, i have this new little plant to remind me how amazing life is.  every time i wake up, i look to see how much more it’s grown and bloomed.  it’s quite the little inspiration!
