Heart Felt blog is up and running!

I know, I know.... I have abandoned my poor little blog these last couple weeks :( I do have some pretty good excuses though, I promise! First of all I have been designing a TON of things for my new Heart Felt adventure. Getting the logo all finalized and then figuring out blog banners, etsy banners, profile avatars and so on and so on! It was really exhausting and even more fun :) So after a good couple weeks of sketching, designing and stressing I finally have my Heart Felt blog up and running! And actually I may be focusing more on that blog than this one now. I do want to keep some separation because I want that blog to be more for promoting my little business and this one to be a personal thing, but there my also be some overlapping going on :) So, here it is!:




Just click HERE to go to the blog!

Please tell your friend about it :) There will be more than me just ranting and raving about wool and felting! Tee heee. I will also have posts on fun DIY projects, handmade living, and vintage treasures on the new blog! My Etsy shop will not actually be up and running until the end of Feb., so you'll just have to wait until then!

Okay, on more of the personal side of things... Ry Guy and I have been in a bit of a transitional mess. I don't know I have been going through reculture shock exactly since we have been back in the States, but I have really been having a hard time adjusting being so close to family, having to leave some of the best friends I have ever had all the way in Germany, going back to school (taking 24 credit hours!), not seeing Ryan as much, and some other things. I didn't think it was really going to be this hard to come back to "real life". But anyway, we have been in search of an apartment these last few weeks. We knew we were going to take it slow with apartment hunting seeing as how I'm not working this semester and Ryan's taking a leap of faith by pursuing his app. programing gig full time, but still.... we're used to being on our own and we've been craving it more and more lately. The only problem is money. Ughhh... it's so stupid, this whole money thing! :) We're trying to listen to what God is telling us to do but we really just don't know! So, keep us in your prayers as we try and figure this whole life thing out :)


Soooo I really should be doing my homework but instead, I'm going to go over to the Heart Felt blog and do a post on some SUPERRRRR cute vintage Pyrex bowls I found today! Check it ouuutttt!!

When we were back in California last week we got to go to a vert special church! This is a picture of the church that my uncle now works at with his lovely wife and 4 children and my parents also go there now as well. It was sooooo nice for us to come to this church after being in Germany because it really reminded me of what our church in Germany was like. Small, relational, intimate and just super awesome :) I know my family is so happy to have my uncle, aunt and their kids back in napa and I think it is just so amazing that they have this wonderful community to be a part of together! Just wanted to share :)


I know i have dropped the ball with this whole blogging thing lately. I will try to do better, I promise!

ALSO!!!: new Heart Felt blog coming soon!!!!
