keepin' calm...and missing our stories

"Hey, it's Lil' Sebastian from Parks and Recreation!" (my observation after spotting the awesome little stuffed guy above on Etsy).  We are some what deprived of TV and internet at our new house in the trees. People keep congratulating us, like we are doing something good and honorable- hardly our intent!

We used to download everything, including about twenty different shows, and now have a lame-o cap on our daily usage. Watching one movie trailer (Kai's favorite activity) can completely deplete it, and we are left we nothing. The price we pay to wake up with the ocean out our bedroom window...I'll stop complaining.

But, in case any avid TV watchers happen upon this...just curious, what are we missing?
Has anyone been watching Bored to Death? It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia? Boardwalk Empire...to name a couple off our long list of favorites.

unpacking

We are finally moved into our new house and studios. It took about five solid days of driving back and forth on Hwy. 1 over Labor Day weekend which was interesting. There were a few middle fingers given to holiday drivers going 25 miles an hour in the 55 speed zone, but for the most part we stayed calm. I hate unpacking. Luckily Kai doesn't mind.

Now for the fun part- buying things for our new place!

I really want this table for a work table. Do you think it would be weird to use a kitcheny work table in an art studio? I'm hoping to find a larger, vintage version for about a tenth of the price...any suggestions?

Photos coming soonish...

back in action

The last two weeks have been insanely hectic. I am thrilled to be in the midst of a very busy August on Etsy! We had a fun week long visit with Kai's mom, and just signed the lease for our new house in Jenner (pictured above). We move September first, and I can't even tell you how excited I am about this new place! More soon...
