enJOY it

Nov

I always love the start of a new month.

October was insanely busy. Paul was on a crazy rotation schedule and I matched it with work hours. Add to that not nearly enough sleep and some pretty intense conversations and things around here felt crazy. I am excited to move forward and hopefully get more rest and feel more in control in November.

Fingers crossed.

Lots of goals for the next 30 days. The biggest one : We're hosting Thanksgiving for our families and we're super excited about it. We're still perfecting our menu and I am dreaming up table scape ideas.

Other than that, I hope to sew my first piece of clothing (I ordered a pattern from here) and sew a new duvet cover to go with our headboard. I also have a lot of custom projects to wrap up and a list of holiday projects I want to share on the blog. And I just ordered supplies for a new shop item that I'm pretty excited about.

So yeah… November looks busy. But I'm so grateful for work and new ideas.

Happy, happy November. Let's roll.

    Happy November indeed. Your first paragraph sounded mildly familiar to me, so I am equally excited to start this fresh number 11. Here’s to a busy, cozy, golden, happy month of goodness!

    “table scape ideas” – I love the stuff you come up with! Sounds like lots going on for you this month.
    My plans for this month include making a Roman blind for my bedroom window. Let’s hope we both get enough daylight to complete our sewing projects successfully! 🙂
    By the way, if you’re interested in sewing skirts, this is a good book to get http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sew-What-Skirts-Francesca-DenHartog/dp/1580176259

    So excited to see what you have planned.
    Random question: The font for Welcome November that you also used in your 2000th sale images as well… Could I get the name of it? LOVING it!
