I've been missing in action these past few days. Mostly because I'm working on my studio/office re-do. It's been on my mind for several months already, but I really needed to reorganize and create workstations. Most of what I did for the business was in two areas (sewing and creating artwork). I really need three areas: computer area, sewing area, and design area).
If you follow me on Pinterest, you may have noticed that I've been pinning project tables. The ones inspired by Pottery Barn... Read Full Story

I've been reading this book.
My goal is to find a personal solution to help
better manage my time, home and family.
It's been a challenge to work at home and balance
family schedules. One of the systems that I have
in place is our family's meal planning.
I've tried other meal planning programs
and we just didn't seem to click. I needed something
that was VERY simple and without a service that required
a monthly fee for something that I could
easily create myself... Read Full Story

I finally got a chance to go back into the studio to finish work on my 2012 gratitude journal. This weekend I began adding some of my favorite inspirational quotes. Most of what I have are clips from my internet readings, article notes that I come across, quotes, and mental notes from the day.
The goal: to have more gratitude in 2012.
{I'm thinking about going back and adding a 2012 banner on the cover.}
The materials:

I've been sick for the last few days.
Too sick to even get online.
I just wanted to crawl back into my cave and cuddle
up with my warm blankets.
Until now I'm slowly feeling much better.
Much better to get online
and browse Pinterest for inspiration.
Here are my few random favorites...
The last one is totally random. At least something to
look forward to when I'm feeling 100% better ;)

My one little word for 2012 is Pause.
Nothing fancy. But very reflective.
This word stems from a personal outcome I had in 2011.
My grandmother passed away just right
before Thanksgiving 2011.
She was living in Thailand at the time
and passed away of a stroke.
It was sudden.
We had no idea it was her that would pass away because right
before then, my grandfather was taken to the hospital with
several complications. We thought he wasn't going to make it... Read Full Story

Well, I did it. I posted My last Daily Gem
for 2011 yesterday.
I still can't believe it.
Sharing an inspirational quote
EVERY single day of 2011.
That's 365 days my friend!
Now that we are in the first day of 2012...
I kind of feel lost without My Daily Gems.
Do you know what I mean? I looked forward to them every day.
Now what to do?
Well, I'm going to go forward with no fear for 2012.
I know 2011 was such a tough year. I know many who
are looking ahead to what this... Read Full Story
