Nov

I always love the start of a new month.

October was insanely busy. Paul was on a crazy rotation schedule and I matched it with work hours. Add to that not nearly enough sleep and some pretty intense conversations and things around here felt crazy. I am excited to move forward and hopefully get more rest and feel more in control in November.

Fingers crossed.

Lots of goals for the next 30 days. The biggest one : We're hosting Thanksgiving for our families and we're super excited about it. We're still perfecting our menu and I am dreaming up table scape ideas.

Other than that, I hope to sew my first piece of clothing (I ordered a pattern from here) and sew a new duvet cover to go with our headboard. I also have a lot of custom projects to wrap up and a list of holiday projects I want to share on the blog. And I just ordered supplies for a new shop item that I'm pretty excited about.

So yeah... November looks busy. But I'm so grateful for work and new ideas.

Happy, happy November. Let's roll.

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in Northern California with my husband and our two daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]elisejoy.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.
