My other life

This morning I read a friend's blog (we met once at the Smith's in Provo) where she explained that she has consciously not put up loads of pictures of her new baby because she doesn't want to completely lose her identity. I then looked at my own blog and was ashamed. So I pulled out my camera and went to work documenting my other life. Of course Eve is still in every other picture; oh well.

My main personal-time priority is yoga. Therefore I get up and do it first thing in the morning so then I can use Eve's nap time for other things such as....

Christmas sewing! It's less than 4 months away now and at the rate I'm going, I'm going to need every nap time from now till Christmas Eve.

By the way, most of these things are for not Christmas as I want to keep those projects Top Secret. But there's only a handful of patterns I know so this definitely gives you an idea.























Gardening has been another hobby that has kept me occupied during nap time this summer. Our building has a roof-top sitting area (can you say "full sun?!") that I immediately put into use. After Scott hauled up I don't know how many bags of potting soil and I took more trips to the local nursery than I'd like to admit, we had our own little garden. We had one casualty (snapped pepper plant) and one resurrection (German Head tomato) but overall a successful season.















Not as inspiring as teaching a book-binding class or re-finishing a house, but it's my life and I like it. Notice I did n0t post pictures of buttons and fabric scattered all over the living room nor did I mention the fact that I've only showered once this week. That's what baby wipes and perfume is for. Priorities right? Poor Scott.
