tired
so tired, so tired, so tired. it's the point in pregnancy when one wants to sleep all the time, but the body is too uncomfortable and the mind is too unsettled. but i'm going to try to sleep.
less than 4 weeks til due date of fern francis. not too many signs of labor coming anytime soon.
i've been making some really cool stuff lately, i should take pictures but i'm too tired. i was at the maternal wellness center today (in mount airy), and saw some of my stuff still for sale there. pretty cool, but my new stuff is way more fun. i think i need to switch out the old for new.

fridays
today is friday. i just coated my first silk screen with photo emulsion, and i'm really excited to explore the options of photo negatives. i'm hoping to get my new logo into different sizes and see where i can take that (garment logo on inside of pieces, launder and care info, recycled paper tags, etc.). i also want to do some cool silk screening besides the logo. i hope i don't botch the screen altogether.
yesterday i made granola, and it turned out awesome. i don't have my camera right now, so no pics, but it's tasty. i also sprouted some sunflower seeds and i think they're edible now. it was pretty easy and fun, but we'll see how they taste. next are some alfalfa sprouts and some yogurt. i'm going to try the heating pad method of keeping the temperature up.
i just found this site yesterday while looking at a cool fashion blog (fashion isn't always nyc and runway, this one was cool portland bike freaks obsessed with refashioning and everything). his hats are sweet and i'm definitely going to be stealing some ideas. reload apparently sells his hats. besides his business he seems like a real cool guy too.
my computer is either shocking me or pinching my armhair, really strange. but i've got hats to cut out and work to do, so i'm out. i'll update with pictures soon.
oh, i forgot to mention, my bubblegum pink deep-v velocity wheelset arrived on wednesday. i am totally excited to start building my city bike! they're so cool.

photos of hats
here are some photos of the hats i'm making. as you can see, model daughter bribed with candy. and she still didn't want to wear them. they'll be for sale dec. 7th evening (friday) and from 11-4 on saturday the 8th. location: circle of hope, broad and washington. more info to follow, but that's pretty much what you need to know. i'm also working on getting a website up.

guess who peed on the potty???!
little sagey peed for her first time on the potty tonight. i am really proud of her, she earned her mini chocolate bar for sure (is it wrong to reward with candy? look people, i've got 13 short weeks til terror #2 is here, and i'd love to not be changing two poopy diapers at a time. so judge as you like, but it's better for all of us in the long run (landfills and water wasted on washing her cloth diapers)). i knew she had to poop and wanted that to happen on the pot, but no, another diaper change was in store. she wanted to read a magazine like mommy. haha!! i don't plan on pushing the subject too much, we'll see what happens.
in other cool news, i'm getting a ton of my creations together for art shop, a cool thing our church is putting on for local artisans to sell their stuff around holiday time. i'll be plugging it more. but today i finished my first baby cycling hat, in courduroy, and it's bangin. i need to make them baby-proof though, because even though it's the coolest thing that's ever graced her head, sage still rips it off right away. perhaps some winter-style ones with ear flaps and elastic. i made some really silly mistakes, as usual, but it worked out. i definitely like the courduroy.
i'm feeling huge (body-wise). i got pictures developed today for my mom and mother-in-law and saw how ripped and lean i was for my tri (even at 2 months pregnant) and it was sad. i'm trying not to worry about it, but i really do miss the endorphin flow that comes with a tough workout, and the mental challenge of waking up another day and having two workouts to complete. i really think that triathlons might be something i'll persue in the future, lord willing. it was cool to have the other challenge of raising money too, it was a good balance of training and fundraising.
that's all for now, i'm gonna try to take some pics of my stuff soon and post them.

"why do people even write blogs?"
my husband asked me this the other day. i am not sure i know the answer, but i said, "it's narcissism. people think other people care what they're thinking and writing." we agreed that some people live far away and lead exciting lives, and need to update family and friends with their goings-ons. not really me, but i still feel the desire to let out some thoughts to whomever reads (is "whom" the object or subject? i love the office.
right now i'm sitting in our third floor bedroom. the window is open and i hear cars and motorcycles, birds, an airplane, and my dog breathing. i'm sipping a cup of coffee my husband brought up to me. i'm not on the third floor because i would necessarily choose it, it's just the only place that our internet picks up a signal. but now i'm here and i'm loving it. the city has been quite the experience so far, i'm grateful for everything. we are loving our house and our neighborhood. i need to take some pictures of the house and upload them.
i'm now six plus months pregnant! i'm feeling quite big already, but otherwise healthy and well. starting to sleep a little worse just because i have to pee so much, but like i knew with sage, it's good preparation for being up all night (or at least that is a good way of thinking of it in the moment, but really nothing can prepare you for those nights).
sage is newly 16 months old. she's doing really well, and just started counting yesterday. it's really fun to see and hear her learning new things. i realized last night in bed that i haven't had many days lately where i wonder if i'll make it to the end of the day. i'm certainly ready to put her down at 7/7:30/8, but i'm not begging for it for hours. i've been trying to occupy our late afternoons with fun outdoor activities and that keeps us all a little more sane.
yesterday tray was demo-ing giant bicycles up at mountain creek in new jersey. sage and i had a nice morning at the park with madeline and jane and then after her nap we went for a bike ride on kelly drive! it was only our second ride there together, and our first just the two of us. it was a lot of gear to load and unload twice, but worth it. it is quite the workout and it felt great to be exercising and be outside. she hates it.
not much else to report. i'm gonna go try to get my new coverstitch machine from china to work. i've already tried for 3 hours so i'm kind of frustrated, but i would like to be able to use it!
