Happy 1st Birthday, Raina!!!

It’s good to be curious about many things

I was walking with a ghost

Random photos:

Sookie-cat & plastic ice cream cones

I woke up to find the kitties curled into balls, sleeping at my feet.

Chadu says I look like a mom in this picture. Not sure what that means, but my hair is unbrushed & my glasses are crooked.

More plastic ice cream cones (bubbles are inside them!)

I can’t dye my hair whilst pregnant. My blonde roots are majorly growing out!

I am becoming a pastry-making master. I made gobs for the first time ever.

I altered the cover of my planner to include the thought bubble. Kittens love Flight of the Conchords.

Jack being cute in the window.

More blonde roots. Ack!

Secret blue, purple, pink, and green right over it

Sookie-cat wanted to know where babies come from.

Baby books & comic books.

Chadu is painting our rooms

Painted door.

More cupcakes! I made these for a 4th of July gathering.

Hot chocolate & toasted-coconut marshmallows.

My new favourite pregnancy food – watermelon! I never even liked watermelon before I was pregnant.

Sookie-cat likes the mirror.

Pumpkin, Chadu’s mom’s cat.

Jasper, Chadu’s mom’s cat

Trying to take a picture of my baby bump.

Little silver baby shoes & tiny teddy bear slippers!

My pregnant belly:

Like I’ve said, I’m still waiting on a proper baby bump. I’m about 19 weeks and, right now, I just look like I have a beer belly. I can’t wait ’til Baby gets bigger and I can start feeling him or her move around!

A light of some kind

I had a temporary creative lull when it came to posting blog entries, or doing anything productive, really. (Perhaps I’ll blame it on the pregnancy.) I’ve been mostly lazy & sleepy lately. But I’ve recently started a new exercise routine & I think I’m gaining some energy and inspiration back. As for my pregnancy, things are going well! I hope to find out in a few weeks if it’s a boy or girl! I’m still waiting on a proper, visible baby bump though. In other news, I bought myself a Batman shirt. Yay!

Star no star

I love seeing how other people live. I especially love seeing photos of people’s bedrooms and work spaces. So here are some photos of my bedroom/work space. Mostly, just the work space area. If I were to show the rest of my bedroom, you’d just be looking at a bed, an exercise bike, and piles of clothes. The work space has gotten a bit mussy lately. Lots of random items all over the place.



You will always find sweets in my room.



A close-up of my inspiration board. I’ve had the same things on the board for forever. I want to switch it up soon!



Baby, bunny ears, and a note from Chadu.



Pens! Mostly glittery gel pens.



Another bit of my inspiration board. A koala & some NPH inspiration.



Random dvds



Smoothie, flameless candle, & various books.



Peppermint girl, as seen in this piece for 365 Days of Print.



Quite a few of my old journals.



Random things, not in their proper places.



More books & journals.



My creepy wooden gal, wearing one of my most favourite necklaces I’ve ever made.

I had a brain that felt like pancake batter
