im obsessed with design blogs.

ok ok im obsessed with blogs. design blogs to be exact.  i think the creative bug just takes over and i just soak in any ideas i can get.

right now i am working on designing my 2 (almost 3) yo daughter's new "big girl" bedroom.  of course is has been so much fun for me!  i am using all the bright colors mixed with soft hues, that i love so much.

MY IDEA BOARD.

i have to say thanks to LOVELYDESIGN for giving me some of the inspiration from her little girl ADELAIDE's ROOM. her daughter is featured in some of the pics above in my idea board.  her treasured wall is what gave me the inspiration...

now that my quest has begun...i thought i would share!

more to come!

how to manage my work day.

i have been really busy with life lately.  my 2 year old started preschool. my etsy store has been picking up in business, and i have been working on some wedding invitations for some wonderful people i know!

i also have been trying to nail down a work schedule that fits me just right.  i have been doing a little research on how other entrepreneurs manage their time.  i tell you, it has helped me out tremendously.  designing is easy to me, its organizing my time that is hard.  i did get some great advice on a couple of blogs...

1. ship products on designated days.

2. check email only in the morning for an hour and at lunch for an hour.

3. choose a particular day to post on your blog. this is to let everyone follow what you do on a day to day basis and to get to know me as a designer.

4. communicate with other people in my design field.  they are a community not a competitor.

5. try to put up a new item every two weeks on my online store.

these are some of my goals starting last week.  trying to implement them in my schedule.
