Does anyone else have trouble balancing doing too much vs too little?

Last weekend was a case of the too littles. After an especially busy and tiring week I just wanted to relax. But that led to restlessness, and subsequently getting grumpy with Ben when he failed to entertain me (sorry Ben). Then of course there are the weekends when I just do too much.

This weekend was a pretty damn fine balance. Pictured: I spent time with Angie (how great are the colors in her shirt?) and Ben (who has a sharp new haircut), reading, unpacking baby supplies that are starting to arrive in earnest, chipping away at his room (it's looking so good! I can't wait until it is done and I can share it with you!), crafting (! Finally! I have been itching to craft for ever, but am just starting to find the time) sitting out in the sun (more reading), more crafting (I will share the projects later), and writing baby shower thank you notes (I love Ben's curly little handwriting).

I will admit to being pretty exhausted by the time we were almost done deep cleaning the kitchen yesterday late afternoon, but Ben was a champ and finished up- then went on to making dinner, while I went on to more relaxing activities. It is amazing how sore/tired I get with a bit of activity being late in the pregnancy, even though I am not that big....!

I might be in the market for an affordable throw pillow (/cover). Preferably with a triangle motif?

These are the four I spied on etsy:

1: Leah Duncan. $34.00

2: spinspin $49.00

3: Hazel and Hunter. $31.60

4: Leah Duncan. $34.00

Have you seen any around?

It is about damn time I do a little post of the diorama I made with Britt for Hitched (for those of you who have not seen it on the other blogs).

We wanted to collaborate using her awesome miniature plant skills and my illustration/design addiction, and came up with this little (pioneertown inspired) western wedding town, complete with a wedding aisle, chapel, saloon, horse corral, and teepee honey moon suite (of course).

How bitchin' is this tumbleweed chandelier Britt hung up?

And for a touch of practicality, we made the whole thing an interactive guest book. Guests leave little notes of well wishes for the couple on the flags.

And of course my desert wedding guide! I will try and think of a way to share it digitally, for anyone interested.

If you have not already, see the full event on 100 layer cake. So much goodness!

Thanks again to everyone. The hitched gals, all the amazing and sweet photographers. The other crazy talented people involved, and of course my ♥ Britty.
