I'm back!

Ok, it's been like 2 months since I had posted something on my blog. Time really flies....but now I'm back and hopefully this time I can post regularly again. So what's new in my life? Well, we're settled in the new place, it's very close to my office so it's great since I can sleep in a little longer and also have lunch at home with Alberto and Pancho. The pregnancy is going very good, I'm at 19 weeks now and the belly has started to show. It has been growing very fast in the last days. Pancho had his re-check about a week ago and his results came back fabulous! We were able to take him off of 4 pills and maybe after his next tests we can reduce it even more :)

Regarding my shops, they're still growing. I've been busy posting new items in my jewelry shop and am in the process of adding some Mother's day necklaces and bracelet. Once I finish with that I will update my cufflink shop with all the new designs I have. Alberto is now helping me with the resin, since I don't want to risk the baby to get close to toxic substances, so now he's my handsome helper. I took a few pictures but haven't convinced him yet to post them here.....

But enough about all that stuff and lets check how the handmade fashion is doing these days. It's Spring and everything is so colorful now! We had luck for a few days in the Bay Area with gorgeous weather, but it got a little colder again. At least the sun is still here and very little rain. There are so many Spring related items that I just wasn't able to pick a few and decided to post a bunch instead. Enjoy!!!

Preparing for the Move

Only three more days and we're moving to the other place. I really like where we live right now, but with the baby on the way we just need a bigger place. So, we have been packing for the last couple of weeks and are almost done with it. Of course I was not allowed to move anything heavy, so my husband has been taking care of most of the things. Anyways, the new place where we're moving is nice as well and it's just a few blocks from my office, so it will be very convenient. It also has a back yard where Pancho will be able to play and hopefully stop barking at other dogs. Speaking of yard I got some seeds from Bolivian hot peppers and decided to put them in a wet paper towel to see if they would germinate and they actually did!!! I'm so excited, so once we move to the other house I will plant them in our yard. Here is a picture of a few of the seeds. I really hope the survive the weather here.

Ok, but now to some Handmade Goodies. With the move I decided to check out on Etsy if there was anything interesting related to moving and here is what I found.

2011 New Year's Resolutions

The new year has started and with it a long list with the resolutions. I normally don't make those lists but normally have a few things in mind. For this year I'm expecting a few changes that hopefully I can accomplish.

Card File available at 1canoe2

1. I definitely need to be more organized. What started as a hobby now converted into a part-time job and I need to define my work space. You can see beads and findings in various rooms of the house and I just need to put them all together into one space, by categories, colors, etc. This will take me a while but it's absolutely necessary.

 Handmade Bolero available at Kayayogawear

2. I need to start doing some exercise. I know it's probably one of the most common resolutions for the new year, but I have been very lazy regarding exercising during the last year. So at least walk 3 times a week or use the Active on Wii, which by the way is a great exercise.

  Sand Clock Necklace available at Bellameidesigns

3. Time Management. That's something I need to improve urgently. Most of the time I feel like 24 hours a day is just not enough. Between my day job, jewelry making, marketing, family, etc. I just never finish! So many things to do and so little time. So I need to find the way to organize my time better.

Ok, I think that's already a lot of work for me and let's hope I really can make it :)

What are your resolutions for this year?
