Lately I have been so busy with work, searching for writing gigs, coming up with DIY ideas, and generally being exhausted that I haven’t known what to blog about or how to even prepare a post.
I haven’t exactly been eating right + I’ve been getting headaches more than the usual (which is often enough). When you’re a full-time student you are working the day + night through, but you have these gaps in your schedule that can be hours long and that has become regular to me.
We’ve also started looking at apartments because as fun as it is living at home with my family, I am going to go stir crazy from being in an office 40 hours a week and coming home to the same thing I’m used to. I decided since we couldn’t do much besides drive around, I’d look up some home decor on Etsy and Pinterest to keep me sane. When I didn’t have a job I felt lost, and now there aren’t enough hours in the day…but if I have this attitude I’ll never be happy!
Anyway, I’ve favorited a ton of illustrations that I’d love to have in my future apartment.
I am thinking to get the most out of my money I should buy a few smaller prints and cards to frame. What do you think? Just plaster them all over the walls, huh? I wonder what the boyfriend will think.
Sometimes I need a few words to get me going! Small Talk Studio‘s got that down.
I’ll probably end up with this fall print from Ana Victoria. She has a website too.
Ultimately, I am happy to be working, saving money again, and working toward some big changes. If I want something I’ll have to go for it and I am feeling that more than ever with my life outside of the full-time gig.
Fall in Seattle has finally arrived. Right now it’s absolutely pouring and the sky is fantastically bright and I am cozy inside next to my yarn and peppermint mocha…life can’t be too bad.
You need to search Rebekka Seale’s illustrations. They are stunning!
that fall in love one is beautiful! enjoying life is a choice, so choose to enjoy it, with your yarn and pepperming mocha. :0)

I love all of these prints. I know what you mean about not enough hours in the day. Few people really ever have the perfect balance of everything they want in life (money, time, etc) all at once. It’s a give and take, but I’m hoping you find enough time to do the things that make you happy…even if it’s just for 30 minutes a day. It makes a difference, to take that time for yourself and do what you want with it. And having your own space makes a difference too, so good luck with the apartment search! 🙂
Good luck with your apartment search! Decorating a new place is so much fun, and I love the Katie Daisy print! The only print around here so far is this print from Vivid Please. I won it in a giveaway and we have it on our dresser!
Those prints are beautiful. making. me want to invest in some new art for myself.
of course it can’t be too bad 🙂 I know how you feel, I’ve felt -I am feeling- the same thing myself… fall has also arrived in Barcelona and I’ve got too many things in my mind but there’s always an end and a start… 🙂
I also love prints, I’d love to have them in my future house 🙂
Lately I’ve also been looking for inspiration in message prints, always positive, I even wrote about it (if you’d like to take a look: at cute prints here http://www.todayilikeblog.com/2012/09/today-i-like-cuadros-con-mensaje.htm or positive prints here: http://www.todayilikeblog.com/2012/10/today-i-like-positive-thoughts.html)
My message for today: Sometimes you just have to create your own sunshine 🙂
Will come back soon !
Those are cute prints! We used to think we had art up to our eyeballs, but now that we’ve moved into a house it’s suddenly not enough.
I hear you about not having enough time, and I know the mixed feelings that come with having a full-time day job. I remember those days very well. Hang in there, and keep doing what you love on the side and eventually everything will come together!
I just blogged about a book that recently enlightened me, and I wonder if it might be something you’re interested in. You could say, I needed some inspiration, but also to reconnect with what I’m trying to accomplish as an entrepreneur. It’s challenging, and at times, you wonder if you’ll make it… but after reading this book, I feel more solid in my direction.
I also really love the idea of positive word art in my studio and love some of the shops you shared, thanks so much for that!! 🙂
