* working on getting true’s nursery totally together. it’s taken a few transformations but i think we’re almost there. we just bought the above nursery chair from
target. we love it! it glides and reclines and swivels and it’s got that old time vintage feel. true immediately responded with smiles and rolls.
* spent a whole day with leigh (aka curly girl) while she was in town for a product signing. totally adore her. we ate and chatted and roamed all day long and it was total bliss. wish she lived closer.
* been working a lot over here on all sorts of new artwork, product stuff, website stuff. sometimes i step outside of my vision for a moment and realize that i am running a full on small business over here. it’s a busy busy life and i absolutely love it. feeling really thankful for Dani (lovely studio asst) and for all the supports that help me do what i do.
* did i tell you that i’m going to hong kong next month? i am going to hong kong next month! i can’t wait to tell you why and how i can’t to meet some very special people. while there, i’ll be attending a traditional chinese wedding!
* john and i were talking the other day about how having a baby makes your heart feel like it’s completely exposed and stripped down. i’ve said this many times here before but it’s still so present in my life – the feeling like my heart is wide open, vulnerable 24/7. i’m still adjusting to all the elements that rush in when there are such cracks. i’m learning that this is what being a parent really feels like – a heart stretching/widening/opening experience. someone told me today that having a baby was everything that they didn’t think they needed. amen to that. baby true is everything, including that. what a gift.
* had dinner last nite with my new friend, alicia. we had southern comfort food at the screen door and closed the place down with our forever chatting. i really like alicia. i have a new friend crush on her, still.
* my parents arrive from florida today. i can barely wait for them to see how much he’s grown. i imagine lots and lots of grandparent snuggles this week for baby true.
* front yard restoration has begun! trees have been planted. bushes have been pulled. and off we go!
