joy.

i am gearing up to move my studio today. it will be a big project! the great room swap continues...


my etsy shop is closed until after the new year to give me time to move and get organized.

i am so thankful for everyone who shopped maternalNEST. i am so thrilled and flattered that my handmade goods get to be a part of your family's holiday gift giving. so thank you.

i was very busy this holiday season, a complete blessing. luckily i finished all of my Christmas orders just in time to decorate my own house and celebrate with my husband and my girls. it was harried but it was joyous and lovely. this was Chloe's first Christmas, an extra special reason to celebrate. Chloe was born January 8th so she really got into the fun of opening presents already being nearly a year. she is such a joy! already running around the house at 11months, being mischievous, entertaining everyone who walks into our home and passers by when we are out and about. i feel so lucky to have 2 such wonderful girls, so filled with personality! hopefully i will have some time later today to edit photos to post. Lily and Chloe were so cute in their Christmas attire.

after a couple days of resting after the holiday i am already prepping for what lies ahead. the next few weeks will be filled with heavy lifting, painting, gift making, party planning, cleaning and organizing... good thing i got a Starbucks card for Christmas...

anyway i thank all of you for reading and i hope all of you had a happy and healthy holiday! happiness to all of you in 2011!
