Ch-ch-ch-Changes!

What. A. Beeeaaauuutiful. Week.
This was my first official week of living my belle&beanzer dream.

Seriously, I loved every minute of it. I woke. I smiled. I meditated. I coffeed myself. I cuddled my little babies. I cuddled my big babe. I cuddled my little four legged furry. More smiling. I reflected. I strategized. I drew. I planned. I freaked out a couple times. I felt like I was flying. More smiling.

my creative space in transition
I took down everything 2011 from around my desk. I've begun the building, and have set the stage for the layering process in 2012. This week, I built the foundation. All my equipment is working, it makes sense to me where it is, it's easily available. However, that scanner is outta there! Work table coming...

I put the most important things directly in front of me in my sight line. My vision, my mission, my values, and my goals. Every day, I soak it in. And, yes, those are little legs dangling. Yes, it's a piece of the line. No, it's not going to be purple. Available fabrics, people!

You've probably noticed my blog looks different. I always intended to do this. My friend Kim Salter, of Design Thoughts featured me on her design blog a good long time ago now. At the time I thought, nothing like a deadline to get it done! So, I quickly threw up my blog with those pictures of me when I was a kid. The branding work is not done yet. I'm working on it. But, I'm feeling good about the direction so far, and a little frustrated that I can't upload my own fonts to blogger or select them from a database somehow. grumble. Anyhow, logos and more fun stuff to come!!  This is just the beginning!!

So comes the weekend, and there is plenty to do. More than I have time for, and for once I don't hate that. Wishing you a beautiful weekend!!
