It's hard for me to work and have a blog especially I have read about people (Dooce) getting fired for blogging. It worked out well for her, I'm sure she's much happier doing her own thing, but...

Any bloggers out there? How do you come up with blog content, but keep your privacy intact? Do coworkers know about your blog?

Aqua blue...

Here's a lovely for Friday, from Krista Peel.... Happy weekending to you all!

Pretty...

I'm digging these constellation pendants from Beth Cyr Jewelry. They make me think of our friend Dave and his telescope. Long time no see Dave, we've missed looking at constellations and galaxies and whatnot!

Baby News

We're having a girl!! Here's our little Peanut at 24 wks 1 day, with her bottom lip tucked up a bit.

I bought her this litttle cutie this weekend...

I was wondering last night how I'm going to make it 3 1/2 more months. My upper back gets so achy in the evenings. Any words of advice? I did prenatal yoga this a.m. hopefully that will help.... Other than that I'm feeling great. I really do have more energy than in the first tri, but it didn't happen the first day of the second tri like I'd hoped. :D

HOT Pink

I'm in love with this necklace from Beijo Flor... Looks like they are having a buy one get one free sale so check them out!!

Love

Seems like a lot of my thoughts lately center around how large my belly is and food... I took a picture of a tuna melt, but it wasn't as pretty as the cherry nibs. :D

My belly seems to have shot out in the past two or three weeks. It's a surprise to look down and see the bowling ball that has replaced my tummy. The baby moves around a lot and kicks or elbows hard enough that you can see it, it's so bizarre.

Thursday...

Work in progress... Here's a pic of the tree skirt I'm working on finishing. I still need trim for the edge, but I'll get that this weekend when my mom and I go shop for fabric for crib bumpers and curtains for the baby's room!


I finally broke down and ordered this book. I've been coveting it for a year now. :) I just got it today and I'm stoked to make the turtles shown in here (click here to see). My goal is to make a stack of 3 for the nursery... We'll see... :D

Illustrator...

Some days Illustrator foils me and other days I manage to win the battle...  Here's a background I did for a March promotional deal.  

Funny Valentine...

Check out this funny Valentine from Cuore!

Cuz mustaches are funny

The artist is currently on the Etsy homepage, so if you're an Etsy-bug you've seen it, but if not, I present the Mustache Key Hook from Suddenly, It's Real!

Thinking ocean thoughts...

Seaside memories from House of Six Cats.

Sweetling for a Valentine?

Here's some cuteness for Krize Smiling Shop...

I had the flu the last couple days and I just gotta say, nothing makes you appreciate your health more than not having it.... I'm sending well wishes to anyone out there who is under the weather. Feel better soon!
