here are some little snaps around the new house. there is still so much to do, but im doing it a little at a time and not stressing about getting it all done. i opened my shop back up yesterday and added lots of new goodies, and more to come today! some really cute stuff. and i already have new packages to get ready for shipping tomorrow. feels so good to be back in business. i really need to be, since now we have a bigger mortgage payment, eeek! good for you guys b/c ill be constantly busting out some cute new Violet Bella!!! i need to get a sewing table still. i set it up on one of those fold up heavy duty card tables, but the whole thing shakes when i sew, so that is not going to fly! now im on the hunt for a great sewing table.

many of these spaces shown have already been changed or elaborated on. for a while, i have a feeling things will continue to change until i get it just right. such fun!!! i love decorating so much. oh, and yesterday i even laid out on my back deck for a bit and soaked up some much needed vitamin D. love it! although i was a bit timid b/c earlier that morning i had found two scorpions on the deck! oh my, they are my LEAST favorite bug! im not feeling as free to be barefoot in my backyard as i had envisioned, but its still beautiful.
