New Re-Design

Ah the excitement of taking over a new website begins, I'm itching to start working on it and hope the owners like what I have in mind.

Its a great little business that I cannot wait to share with you, but this is family so lets hope we all get on well as a team and not end up hating each other if it doesn't work out!

I am 6 months preggi next week as well, which brings me to my next point and question you, what did you do? I plan to pass on any work for a few months to my good friend at Arrow-i web design. I trust he will do a good job and can rely on him to resolve any issues should they arise.

Short but sweet tonight, and I'll share with you a sneak peek of the area the business I am soon to be looking after is located!

Can you guess?

Goodbye and Hello

Hello!

Hope you haven't missed me too much! I'm so busy applying for work right now, I want a job doing what I love most - web design. So wish me luck!

This week I had to say goodbye to a very good friend and her daughter as she is moving to New York. I am going to miss her so much as we have been good friends for years.

I went to her leaving party on Saturday night.


Other than that I have been enjoying the joys of pregnancy as I am now at 22 weeks and I cannot wait to meet my baby girl (if the sonographer was right!).

What have you been up to?

The Plan - The Future's Bright.

Oh my god. It feels like only yesterday I began college, and here I am today sitting with an A in HNC Interactive Media, pregnant and having a 'whale' of a time (quite literally). The feeling is good. Definately feeling fate helped me along because now I can work from home and care for my baby.

Only 4 and a bit months till she's here.Wow!

The reason I haven't blogged in a few days is because I have been painting and decorating the entire house, with my partner. I didn't think I'd get the nesting bug this bad, but when I do something I do it completely.

My home is so beautiful now, there are still books to go on shelves, dvd's and cd's to be tidied away and barely any pictures on the walls but its progress. I now have baby's crib in our bedroom!

Latest projects around the home include my lampshade for my baby girl. Bob Marley - 3 little birds written on it in sharpie permanent marker.

(ignore the vaseline)

I created this through inspiration from this lady's blog post - seen here through my Pinterest. http://preview.tinyurl.com/bskvfcp

 The plan for the next few weeks is to familiarise myself with Dreamweaver again and get ready to begin work (more to come soon).

I am relaxed and ready for change now.
