i have been more and more inspired these last couple months (since i started this blog). so many lovely things, so many beautiful photos and etsy is now officially one of my favorite online stores.
so.
so i was thinking.
i’d absolutely love to create something. i have no idea what, but i’d love it to have to do with either writing or photography. and of course, it’s going be femininely lovely.
the only thing i’ve ever made was chocolate. would you believe i am a certified chocolatier? ha! i can never say that without a small giggle. i don’t know why, maybe the word certified? or probably just cuz i’m weird. i actually had my own little chocolate business for a while. it was so fun. i would love to open shop again once i’m done with having babies.
but having ginormous blocks of milk chocolate in my house was really hard on me some days. you know, those days when you feel like eating a ginormous bar of milk chocolate.
i know i can’t sew much. or draw. or do anything that requires meticulous hand stability (think: surgeon hands).
but still, i am going to try to think of something this week that i could make. and sell. but i have to love it or it’s a no go.
no lukewarm feelings.
no - somebodies gotta like this thing right?
i want surefire glee.
i want yipeeee! creating bliss.
it might take longer than this week to figure it out, but that’s my goal.
have a lovely monday 
(Psalm 27: 1, 3)
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war rise up against me, yet I will be confident
i promise we are a happy family. although this picture makes it look as though i'm in some la la land of ignorant bliss while hubby and child know the dim truth.
today i finally get to eat ravioli and a fannie may.
tonight i finally get to go out a little with my family.
and then i finally get to sleep in a little tomorrow as i am assuming the husband will take my 5:30 spot on the couch as nugget hops up and down in the glare of the tv as if it’s the afternoon. and though i love his little voice dearly, so many questions at such an early hour can make one eat pillow fluff.
happy saturday!

i have never liked my hair stiff. or else molded. oh wait, when i was 16 i did have a stint when i wore it in a barrette with the part above my forehead pushed forward like a square egg, i sprayed the ba-geez-eez out of it. and if anyone touched it i’d say don’t! and dash away like a peculiar rabbit.
but other than that, i have always liked the more free look. not quite as free as the pretty ladies above but still.
these pictures have inspired me, i really want to take that messy hair look into my book project. mostly for a model with lots of hair. i am in it, but i didn’t want it to be all me. confession: it was going to be all me until hubby informed me that would be, and i quote, “sorta weird”. and to quote my reaction, “hmph.“
i didn’t think it was that big of a deal since a lot of the pictures were to be the back of me, side of me, headless, etc. plus, i never thought about little ol’ me doing a photo shoot with a model, so i actually thank my hubby for enlightening me. i quickly got over my hmph-ness, i became really giddy and posted an ad for a model search. i’ve had one session so far and i tell you, it was so elating.
the feeling of moving a vision forward is very sweet.
speaking of visions, have you joined my 20 minute rule club?
happy friday!

aren’t these necklaces lovely!
wow, i just love the drama of them, brimming with character.
they can be found here: shop suey
last night i had a dream that Christmas was days away, i kept saying to everyone, how did the time go so quickly? and apparently i was the only one who felt that way. i felt so panicky and strange and i just kept going from person to person asking if they felt that the year had passed extremely fast, but no one conceded. i know it sounds funny and sorta dumb, but it was a nightmare! total twilight zone.
i’m almost over it
have a jolly day. (weird dream pun)

this spring i vow to…
try again at some old wishes
find a favorite spot & go there often
finish those almost finished books
buy nugget a kid camera and have a photo session together at the park
go on a real bike ride (more than 3 minutes & to not peddle as though in a horror movie when a bee comes along)
do something fantastically out of character with hubby
go on a picnic that lasts all afternoon & make an old fashioned movie from it.
what are your spring promises?

we are finally in the 50’s this week! (that’s degrees… !)
even though the sun isn’t really shining much and the skies are not happy-blue, i am loving the temperature.
i took nugget to the store yesterday and i didn’t have to wince when i stepped out of the car. i felt almost giddy at the fact that i was strolling into the store with him beside me instead of holding him and galloping like an injured horse. (in my defense, between him and my handbag is about 40 lbs. and in my defense again, i have to have my 3 important notebooks with me, what if my house burned down while i was away?)
i love this wishlist. as i’ve said before, i adore white and i adore flowers, so what better then this cute little nod to spring. i actually own the handbag (bought it last month) it is so pretty. the sort of handbag i doubt i’ll ever get rid of. the zipper moves like butter and the material is nice and soft.
today i feel like a bird whose little cage door has finally been opened. i’m gonna be flying around silly.
heads up!
