clean up...

Wow. For the first time in weeks, I finally finished all my craft projects. And that leaves my space looking like something just exploded in here. I want to tidy up. I need to. I have too much stuff! It's everywhere. I'm serious. I'd like to post pictures of mu craft room but not after I clean it up real good.

I asked my husband last night to get us a big desktop computer. Right now we each have our own laptop. But we plan on doing more stuff. My small company needs a small office too. Right now it is all over the place. And since our house is small, I have to be creative in finding the nook for it.

Anyways. Here are pictures of lovely spaces that make me want to pretyy up my own place.

I love that blog. Sharilyn is an amazing woman. You should check out her blog. She writes about all the simple things in life that most people take for granted. And I love how she adores her daughter so much.

Yah, I wish my space looks that pretty. Maybe if clean it up now....

another pretty space.....

I was browsing through Decor8 blog when I found a new interesting blog, Nest Decorating by Tamar . Her blog is filled with pretty things. I especially like her crafting space.





Don't they just want to make you organize and tidy up your craft room?
She blogged about her crafting space here. Make sure you spend time to browse around her house. It's a true heaven.

All the pretty things....

I want to live in this pretty house. I love every single nook in this house. Oh how I wish my house looked like this. Everyday. How lovely. I am drooling over every single one of these pictures. The living room.... the craft/sewing room! Ah..... look how lovely!

Whose house is this, you ask? Well, this very pretty house belongs to a lovely gal from Sheer Whimsy, who's been kind enough to let me write about and post pictures of her house. I've been following her blog for quite sometime and I tell you, everything on her blog is an eye candy. You should go check it out yourself.

Maybe I should go clean and tidy up my own sewing room. And maybe (just maybe!) it'll look presentable enough for me to post here....

so many things to do so little time...

I am 37 weeks pregnant by now. I am excited to welcome our first baby. Up to now, I am still sewing things for my shop. I do get tired faster though so I work in a slower pace now than I used to.

My husband is trying to get my craft room done before Christmas. So far it looks really good already. I am hoping I can start moving all my stuff in there by tomorrow or Christmas morning. Will post pics of the new craft room for sure.
I am very excited about decorating it. I do have most furnitures to go in it ready already--using what I already have mostly. I am sewing the curtains for the windows myself. I am also planning on making my own small floor mat to go under my big sewing table.

Also, since I will be delivering the baby soon, I am planning on taking my maternity leave from my shops to start January 7 or 8 until the baby is born (due date is January 10).

In the meantime, feel free to browse around my Etsy shops. As of right now, I can squeeze in 2 - 3 custom orders in case you'd like to have some custom made baby items or any other handmade goodies.
