A Busy Season

The pops of color are so great in this room. Working that into my guest room!

I've been quiet here lately, but I've been keeping myself busy:

• Full-time office job hunting
• Keeping up my own design/illustration/photo business
• Planning a bridal shower and bachelorette party (making them awesome on a budget is a challenge)
• Secretly giving awesome advice for a bachelor party
• Making art for a room redecoration that needs done desperately
• Finishing off final details of vacation, while getting super excited (how early is too early to pack?)
• Going to shows for my husband's band! (He's the bass player)

And trying to remain social, meeting new people, plus general house care. It seems like I always have appointments, meetings, and such at 2 pm. I don't know why that's the magical number.
I'm loving this time though; I feel productive, and life is good. Design has been rolling in, and I traded photography for a cake. Life is swell!

Last October I said 2012 will be great. I can say that the above list (minus vacation) was not in my plans for 2012, but I know it's going to be the best year yet!

My Favorite Room


Not only does this room have the most sunlight pouring in, but it holds many of my favorite things: books, childhood knickknacks, music boxes, blythe dolls, love letters from my husband, photo albums and our piano.

Eventually I'd like to add a mid century modern love seat of a fainting sofa to this room, so I can read in the sun.


Have you heard the Civil Wars? They're amazing! You should check them out if you haven't heard them.

Mint


I'm obsessed with mint these days, though I don't own anything in mint.
Hope you have a mint-filled spring!

Italy


I am gearing up for my trip to Italy and the Mediterranean; the weeks can be counted on my fingers. This photo of Cinque Terre, Italy is making me more anxious!

Day Dreams


Daydreaming has been on my mind.

I could win a prize in daydreams; I go into depth of what I want to happen. But, let me be frank, often my daydreams end up disappointing me, because they aren't real, and they probably won't happen.
I daydreams come in wide variety:

• I've been an actress in a rave movie and gotten past my fear of people watching me.
• I've moved to California and become a great designer/photographer.
• I've been a highly desired photographer, doing shoots for fashion and travel.
• I've casually run into various famous people and made a difference in their lives.
• I've owned tiny elephants.

Right now I can't help but daydream about jobs. I get so caught up in a daydreams about various companies that have open positions that I qualify for, but they require a move; something harder to do as a couple. I daydream about the ways it will boost my design, and career.

The daydream I need to get lost in now is my trip to Venice, Italy and the subsequent Mediterranean cruise. It's not far off (after 2.5 years of planning it), and it's real.

What sort of daydreams do you get caught in?

Redesigning

I redesigned my Mallory Nicole Design & Illustration logo today, refreshing my portfolio and resume as well. I feel better. I've also been working on a wedding invite.

Today's February Photoaday prompt was "sun," but I forgot about it until the sun set. So, in honor of my missed photo, here are a couple of West Palm Beach photos I recently edited.

Oh, Hello

I'm alive. I promise. One of the worse sicknesses I get are a case of the lazies. Seriously, it is hard to shake. For a couple of weeks I have only taken care of what I needed to. It's bad. But I feel like I'm back on track! So I leave you with photos of my awesome dolls. (thinking about putting the first one in the guestroom.)
