I am so excited to share my new logo, blog header, and etsy banner, all created by Juliet Jones! She is super talented and easy to work with, and gave me exactly what I had in mind. I love it. Stop by her blog and give her some love! This is just in time to have new business cards made for Indie Craft Parade. I have been making bags and sewing like crazy.
I have some ideas for a couple of new bag styles as well. I'll be accepting credit cards, thanks to Square. I am really excited.
We have an ultrasound tomorrow at 18 weeks :) I have started bonding so much more with this baby. The first part was hard, honestly, and now that I feel a little better, I can enjoy the journey I guess. This second pregnancy has been really different than my first, and my life is so different than it was when I was pregnant with Piper. I love feeling kicks and movements, and have been daydreaming about this little one and who they will be. I hope we can see their little face. Piper would never be still long enough to let us see her face. I am so eager to meet this little life.
And this part I am so happy about... We are traveling to Colorado at the end of September to attend a week-long theology school with our friend John MacMurray (see also here), William Paul Young, Baxter Kruger, and some others. Being able to study the Bible with my husband again, away from work and law school, just being together and learning about God, is a huge gift. We were able to go on a dime, too, and I see God's care in my life by giving us this time together. I am still amazed that it all came together. This is a special gift. It means so much to me.
School started for Trevor last week, and the craziness of it all has begun. This is why I have been absent from my little blog. I have been getting a couple wholesale orders finished, and things will be a little hectic over the next few weeks with two weddings to shoot and ICP. But I love it, honestly. With the good and the bad. I am learning to be thankful during the hard times. As unconventional (sort of) and sometimes difficult our life is, I love this little family and all of our adventures. I love being able to work alongside my little girl. I love the environment of our home; it is so conducive to creativity. I love my husband and his heart. Piper just totally lights up when he comes home in the evenings. I am thankful.
And something totally random... my friend Rachel sewed through her finger. See pictures here. See her amazing work here. I had to share that.
Okay so maybe the vlog will be a little while? Trevor is a little caught up right now. You understand of course :)

I'm excited for you, Paige! Your new stylings are beautiful and I can't wait to hear the news about your new little one after the ultrasound. I've been meaning to write and tell you that I've prayed for you several times throughout the past months as we too faced a miscarriage between Graeme and our little guy, Job, that is due in November.
ReplyDeleteWe just had another ultrasound about a week ago and they surprised me with a 3d picture. We had it with Graeme and I was so sad because I thought we wouldn't be getting one this time around--and I was so amazed how much Job's profile resembles Graeme's--it's crazy! So, yes, I will hope that you get to see that little face too;-)
congratulations again--God is so kind.
it's all so, so lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt is so, so , so beautiful! LOve it all and can't wait to see you at ICP!
