M-E-H spells 'meh'.

Yes, it does.

Having much difficulty sleeping and have many, many thoughts racing. I'm quite certain blogging won't help with many of them, but what else am I to do?

Wake Sparky? (Poor man.)
Go for a walk? (Ha.)
Write a(nother) to-do list?
Ignore previously written to-do lists?

My creative spark has left me momentarily and I'm feeling a little frustrated. I have many, many plans for this year and I feel like I'm in a holding pattern for the first few months of 2009 as we wait for B3 to arrive and then take some time to organise ourselves into a new family unit. Don't get me wrong, we are excited out of our skins to meet B3 and start that particular journey together. It's just this no-man's-land I find myself in now that is unexpectedly trying.


Back to bed now...

Wrong season but oh-so right...

Yes, it's forecast to reach 36C here today.
Yes, I am sweltering.
Yes, I do wish I was living somewhere cool, like Moose Jaw, SK. (Seriously. I've been there.)


And yet, I still find myself looking at winter clothes. Lusting for them. Yearning. Pining.

How could I not want to wear this delightful Peahoodie from Abigail Adams?



What's more, how could I not want Sparky to wear this one at the same time?



We would be all Peahoodie'd up. Then we'd need to wear hats. Good hats. Lovely beanies. And we'd need to find one for B3 too...

Productiveness = Happiness

I actually achieved the main goal I had set for myself yesterday.

*SQUEE!!*

I set out to organise my work into collections (which were semi-formed in my baby-addled brain but not in any coherent or usable form). This equals much happiness because it now means my wholesale materials can be redesigned as well as including this info in my Fashion Week application, which is due to be in by Friday.

Still Life

This is my main collection (for now) and now includes these designs in so many beautiful papers/fabrics:

- Place Earrings
- Cercle Earrings (Regular and Petit)
- Travers Earrings
- Baisse Earrings - NEW AND EXCITING AND SOON-TO-BE-RELEASED
- Poteau Studs


- Cercle Necklace
- Ficele Necklace - NEW! NEW! NEW!
- Horizon Necklace
- Travers Necklace Petit and Large
- Baisse Necklace - NEW!
- Ovale Necklace
- Jumeau Necklace



It may not seem like much but it's been a real obstacle to me getting my stuff together for wholesale and industry events. Now I can focus on streamlining production further and once B3 is born (I may be living on Planet Kookoo-La-La when I say this) I can start building the biz further.

Happiness is...

- Cool, rainy days like today.
- Cuddles.
- Hot Milo (more Milo than milk).
- The smell of oranges.
- The Polyphonic Spree.





More happiness to follow.

I laughed out loud.

This notepad from TerriTaylorDesign made me giggle.



as did this card from Krystan!

Oh, to be in Scandinavia...

Where it is nice and cool (freezing) and the design is fabulous.

Sparky and I are on a cool-blonde-wood, white walls and quirky additions bender at the moment and have found much happiness in Scandinavian design lately. Etsy, as always, has offered up AMAZING finds.


This beautiful, hand-knit reindeer is quirky and gorgeous. I wish we had a fireplace to hang it over.


While this magical bed just blows. my. mind.


Both of these pieces come from Helsinki-based Atilla Design.



This sweet little Swedish Step Stool Bench. from thestephenworks. is simple and gorgeous.



Jane Foster brings us this fabbo little apple screen print which I can see in our unbuilt, only roughly planned timber, white and black kitchen...



And, I just love this Leentu chair from Lunar Lounge Design.


Well, enough dreaming for the day. I have much to do and more than enough time to do it. (A lovely predicament!)

I must have this.

I MUST.

I. MUST.

That is all.
