Yes, that's right, it's plural. Sarah and Adam are expecting twins!! We've known for a while, but they didn't want anything to get out before they told their congregation yesterday. We are all very excited, but evidently twice the hormones equals more than one share of morning sickness. Thus my trip to California earlier this month. Although it's actually worse at night than in the morning, Sarah is beginning to feel a bit better. Hopefully, it will clear up soon as she has a busy schedule this fall taking two classes at Berkeley and teaching one at San Francisco Seminary. We are so excited for them and for us!!!
Early this morning I thought there'd be a bouquet of balloons gracing this post. I looked out our window about 3 am and saw a huge bouquet of balloons tied to one of our yard decorations in the front. Sadly, the wind and rain blew half of them away by the time it was light, although I did rescue the second bunch from the driveway. I think I know who the balloon ladies are, but if there was a note, it also disappeared.
On another front, the studio move is nearly complete. There is just one large and one small job left to do, but I am in my new space (photos later when it's all done) and loving it. It feels very extravagant to have such a beautiful, large space just for me. Matt says the change makes so much better use of the space, and I think he's right. The little room where I've worked for the last 7-8 years really looks tiny now that I'm out of there. We need to paint that room, and buy a bookcase and perhaps, a small coffee table and then we'll be done. Everything is put away for now.
Neither of my hutches from the old desk worked on the new one, so I had more organizing and purging to do over the weekend. Everything has a home now, and there's still way too much stuff for one crafter. I'd love to have you come over and share!
Here's the last of the cards I made before the move. (You can't have a post without some photos!) The first one is a definite lift of a card I saw on Dawn McVey's blog last week and just had to copy.
Cardstock: Dark Chocolate (Papertrey Ink); patterned paper: Turning a New Leaf & Bitty Dot Basics (Papertrey Ink); ribbon: Ripe Avocado (Papertrey Ink); doily: Martha Stewart; stamps: Take Three: Summer (Papertrey Ink); flowers & brad from stash.
Cardstock: ColorMates (WorldWin) & Bazzill; patterned paper: Basics & Kioshi (Basic Grey); stamp: Scenic Route; gems: Kaiser; Nestability Heart (Spellbinders)
