simplicity

I've cut back drastically on my online presence.

I felt a bit lost. Spread too thin perhaps.

The shops are slowly being put on vacation. 

novadesigns went first then novaoflove.

Novaofsweden will remain open as I will only

add designs as they are born in my studio. 

No custom orders, no made to order. 

No stress, just pure joy of making.

A strong need to go back to basics is filling me up.

A need for fun, creativeness and time for living.

It's safe to say that working full time, running 3 shops

while trying to plan a wedding was a lot to handle.

As I slowly remove myself from the world of Etsy,

social networking I am becoming more relax. Happier. 

And I am feeling inspired again.

This weekend David and I spent so much time together.

More than we've had in a very long time. Sunday we

went for hours of walking. Just talking. About life.

What we want. What makes us happy. It was wonderful.

It's so easy to get caught up. In all the musts. 

In responsibilities. Paychecks, production mode and 

bills. It's not how I want to live my life. 

It's never been how I wanted to live my life. 

So back to basics it is. 

And tonight that means cooking dinner

with my husband to be. 

Laughing and tasting together.

I am very excited!

Embrace today my lovely friends cause you never know

what tomorrow will bring
