Bits and Bobbins…

I’m so tired but in the absolute best way.  Work is good, and I’ve been spending time with friends and I’ve got a lot to look forward to.  This weekend, I have the bridal shower of my sister-to-be, time with good friends, a trip to Renegade SF for some crafty fun and a stop at Crown and Crumpet with lovely friends and hopefully, some sleep along the way.

I wish I had exciting, fun things to share, but the big thing I’ve been working on for work launches next Monday, so I’ve been preparing for it.  I’m so proud of what we’ve done, and if you’re a local, you might want to check it out, here.

Since I am currently devoid of anything amazing to share, I thought I’d show you a few of my online haunts currently offering up some awesome posts:

  • This isn’t really a blog, but the Action Method?  Well, it’s changing my life.  I love being able to manage all the little things I’ve got going on in one place, plus, having the help of an iPhone app.  It’s amazing.  I’m still on my free trial, but I can almost guarantee that I’ll be signing up for the paid version when it runs out.
  • The lovely Liz posted a list of all the things she’s looking forward to about fall!  I’ve been thinking a lot about crunching leaves and admiring my argyle cardigans—this list just served to make me more excited.
  • One of my favorite humans ever, and blogger extraordinaire Doniree, has been writing these amazing Off The Mat posts, and I particularly enjoyed this one, about self care and a calm presence.
  • I’m a complete Yes and Yes fan girl, which I’m sure you already know, but I am currently working my way through her Wanderlust Workbook.  While I doubt I’ll quit my job and run off, I do love the general planning tips for travel.  I’m still hoping to pull off a trip to Paris next year, so this is extra timely.
  • I loved this post by Jamie, my love.  She always puts things in the exact right words.

So, I’m off for a full Friday and a very fun weekend.  What are you up to? I hope it’s lovely, friends.  Take good care and I’ll see you Monday!

  • I just found your blog and realized you are in Sacramento!!! I am in this area as well, and I am studying Journalism and Public Relations!!!
    I am also going to Renegade SF this weekend, so if I see you, I will run up and say, “Umm, I just starting reading your blog, HI!” :)

    PS: If you have any advice on how to get an internship/job with some local Sacramento magazines, newspapers, etc, let me know!!!

    :)

  • I love Crown & Crumpet! I am sad that the boys flat refused to eat there when we were in SF last month, it’s going to be a while before I get to go back there again.

  • Yay, stop at Crown & Crumpet with lovely friends! Can’t wait to see you!!!

  • Liz

    Thanks for the link love; you’re a peach<3 I hope we run into you at Renegade!

  • Oh okay, I think you’ve sold me on Yes & Yes’s Wanderlust Workbook. I read her regularly and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to buy it, but I always feel like such an impostor when I’m travelling, like I don’t really know what I’m doing, and if you think it’s really good then it’s a done deal. Buying now!

    Ah, I wish I could come to the Renegade Fair…. so jealous! You need to tell me all about it.

  • I was thinking about that Wanderlust Workbook, so I’m so glad that you’ve tried it and have such good feedback! Thanks for sharing that :) Also, Action Method, right?! Right.

  • What am I up to? Taking the Fresh Start to heart! :)

    But no seriously, I said I wanted to rekindle musicianship, and it turns out that me making videos for YouTube has done just that. I feel inspired again. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without the reminder, either. So: gracias, Amy.

  • I don’t know what is up with this week but it’s left me 100% drained! I need a nap. Or a really long nap. One of the too. Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

  • Yay! See you at Renegade, maybe? We should trade phone numbers….but probably not in the comments on your blog ;)

  • Dearest Amy, i found your lovely space here from our Home EC course. You have a very inspiring space and i love it! Sounds like you are gonna have a fun busy weekend at the shower. Thanks for all the wonderful links! Have a lovely merry happy weekend and love to you!

  • A trip to Paris? DO IT! It’s such a great city. And I’m enjoying some crafty stuff this weekend too. Finishing off one project and hopefully starting another. Gotta love a weekend.
