hi. its me. i'm still here...

It

feels like years since I've posted a blog. Just to let all of my darling readers know, I haven't fallen off of the face of the planet. I've just been busy.
In the month of September, we moved in to a new house, I turned 26, Amelia started crawling, and I started going to school. Its a lot of fun.
I really love our new house- it is beautiful and old and roomy and I get really excited when I think about filling it up with furniture and decorating it as the months/years go by. it happens to be my latest obsession. I really like to look at decor blogs, and design blogs, and drool over things, or wish for things to put in our house. Sadly, not much has happened in the way of actually decorating... it seems like I don't really have a minute of free time.
School is keeping me pretty busy. I'm studying graphic design. Its really exciting, and fun and I love it. But its a little bit hard. the computer part. But i'm learning. and I still love it. Here is a picture of a pattern that I mad in one of my classes:
This comes from a flickr site that I've created for the class, so if anyone is interested in seeing some of the things that I'm making- check it out or something.
Here's the link...

I miss Amelia and Jake when I'm at school all day, but they're always just as cute as can be when I get back to them. Amelia has taken to being with her dad full time and I think they make a great pair.

In all the things that have been happening, I haven't really found the time to get my craft on like was before. That part has been a little hard on me because I feel like I've had to let go of something that I was working on and put it aside for a while. Its been happening gradually. I'm in the process of changing the way my business works, which might take a month or so, but I'm pretty sure the end result will be online sales,(in the form of an Etsy to begin with) and a break from the Portland Saturday Market (hopefully picking back up in the spring). I just need to modify the way I'm doing things so that I can balance life, family, school, and still be making and selling like I was before. Bear with me, I'll get there.
So, that's it for now. I hope to blog again some time this month, but you never can tell.
