bits and bobbins: site re-design!

just a little note to announce that bitsandbobbins.com has been re-designed. bay-area web design maven mia blume put the visuals together for me, and my lovely husband pete is responsible for the back end.
going to http://www.bitsandbobbins.com now takes you straight to the blog. all links anyone may have to /journal will be directed to that address.
i am so proud! thanks mia and pete!
and many thanks to jenny harada, who was responsible for the previous design, which i had up since 2004.
still tweaking a few things (the faq and links, especially)...so stay tuned!

also: i have an etsy shop! look for some handmade bits and bobs to be trickling in there soonish!

my colorful life

i'm trying to bring my camera out of the house more; aiming to snap photos of that which catches my eye/inspires me, in order to be more creative. so expect more of this kind of thing...

speaking of inspiration...

i've started a tumblr blog. http://bitsbobbins.tumblr.com/

as i describe it there, it's a gathering of what i consider to be "intriguing, aesthetically pleasing or thought-provoking links (videos, photos, blog posts, quotes etc.)"..."a fun addendum to my regular blogging fare" here.

follow if you wish. enjoy!

28 weeks preggo. OH HAI, third trimester!
belly is in full effect now.
man, it's sunny today! however, its pretty typical SF, once the sun actually decides to make an appearance on a given day.
somehow i managed to squeeze into this dress i made 2 years ago, when i had a much skinnier bod. actually, i haven't had to buy a lot of maternity stuff to date with this pregnancy, only jeans, really. a lot of my knits and whatnot still have enough give to fit without giving out. yay for that. still, there's 3 months to go, so that may and probably will change... :P
-sunglasses: target -blue metallic oversized earrings: thrifted -acrylic stars pin: thrifted -black cowl neck vintage sweater with bell sleeves: thrifted -african print sundress: handmade by me with thrifted fabric (it even has hong kong/bias seam binding on all seams! i'm a nut.) -black leggings (yes, i am wearing them YET again. and, what??): AA -red vintage t-strap wedges: thrifted about a bajillion years ago -red resin cocktail ring: dinosaur designs -black leather bag: rabeanco
