I watched the movie about Bob Dylan this weekend...and it was amazing :) I've really started to like more of the folk/bluegrass bluesy music and so does Leo! He dances like crazy in my tummy when we listen to it. I love that he seems to be on a somewhat schedule and its been really nice to feel him move as a reassurance he's still there. During your 2nd trimester you feel so good that sometimes you can scare yourself that you're really not pregnant at all. I'm getting closer and closer to that 3rd trimester though so I better enjoy it while it lasts I suppose.
My last post I said there may be some changes and boy are there! All positive (I hope). Thursday of last week a fellow shop owner in the village came into the store and we were chit chatting and she mentioned that she was looking for someone to share her space and schedule with. She has a wonderful resale boutique of higher end labels that is right on the main part of the village. She said she has a 14 month old and due with another baby bean in March/April and would really like to be able to have more time with them. This was music to my ears because Tim and I were going to have to make a final decision on the store with Leo coming. It's been doing well but not well enough to help pay for as least a little bit of childcare and I having to close up a month could have ruined us!
On Saturday Tim and I met with her and her husband and looked at her space. It is super cute and our items will compliment each other really well. I was so happy everyone was in agreement that we would have the 2 stores come together! I will be moving in the end of February and we'll be officially together as of March 1st! This will give us some time to work together before Aimee has her little baby (I hope it's a boy too!). It's so great how well this all turned out. The really great part: I will have a 2 day work week with 2 saturdays a month! To me that seems like the best of both worlds. I'll get plenty of time with my little man as well as some adult time and once he gets older I won't feel so bad about putting him in a day care or play group a few hours a week.
The great news/change has continued to today! I got a message from Kelsey on facebook asking if I'd make some items for her store, Orange Possum as well! I'm so excited to do this. It was really special when I got to open a store with my stuff in it but for someone else to put your items that you make with your own hands in their store is really an honor. Theeeeeeeeeeen I got another message from Aimee that her friend in Chicago has a store and would like to have some of my dresses in there! In Chicago!! I'm on cloud 9 for sure :) All of a sudden I'm going to go from slooooooooow to busy, busy, busy :) I love it though and I can't really complain when it's something I love to do.
In the middle of all of these things I'm going to try to help with the Art in the Park that will be just down the street from the new space, start at the farmer's market (working outside all day on Saturdays...what could be better?), and maybe try to have this little baby too! I am so thankful and up for the challenges ahead!
