Currently.





Loving: How well our new space is coming together. We have been doing a handful of projects and painting rooms, I just couldn't be happier with the turn out! Also I am loving the new yoga studio I just recently found downtown.  They are a donation based studio which first of all is amazing, they believe that no one should be denied the right to practice yoga due to money.  Second they offer a variety of different classes which is always fun to try out a new style! Thirdly there is no worry about any membership fees or monthly payments. Its so nice because I don't know about you but $130 plus a month is just too much for us, especially since we both go.

Reading: I just started reading Mike Birbiglia's Sleep Walk with Me just two days ago and I am almost finished! I knew I wouldn't want to put it down.  If you have never heard of Birbiglia you are missing out.  He is a comedian and often contributes stories to This American Life, a radio show on NPR.  I think he is hilarious and his stories are relatable and so genuine. I definitely recommend it!

Watching: Friday Night Lights,  I wish i could explain how much I enjoyed this show! I am currently re-watching the entire show with my husband because he refused to watch it the first time around.  But now we are halfway season 4 and he can't stop! Now I must mention this is rare for me, I can never re-watch movies or shows because I get distracted or bored because I know what is going to happen, but not FNL.

Anticipating: Well, a few things! Next weekend we will be in seattle for Urban Craft Uprising which is Seattle's Largest indie craft show. I'm super honored to be apart of it and can't wait to meet other fine maker's of things!  A very sweet friend of mine is coming to visit in just two weeks and it has been just over a year since we last saw each other and I can't wait to see her!  Lastly my in-laws are coming to visit us in Portland for the very first time since we moved here, now this is a BIG deal. You see my dear father in law has never been on a plane in his life! I really think they are going to just fall in love with Portland.

Listening: I can not stop listening to The Lumineers, like CAN NOT STOP.  As soon as the album is over I start it all over again.  My poor husband calls it "Mal Music"  and I am probably driving him up the wall with it. It's that good.

Planning: The next project to do! When my father in law gets here, he and my husband will be building this wall shelving unit I have been swooning after for sometime. I can't wait til it is done so I can share photos!

Working On: Lots and lots of jewelry to prepare for next weekends festival and another one in July.

Wishing: Everyone a fun & safe holiday on this upcoming 4th of July!

& Thank you Danielle for this fun "currently" post inspiration.

  3. Wow! That yoga studio sounds fabulous! How fantastic! That indie craft experience sounds fantastic as well! I have a friend that goes to one in Atlanta every year and I keep saying I'm going to join her, but I haven't yet. Maybe next year! I'm off to check out some of your jewelry if I can find it!
    I love the currently posts! I'm hoping to do one every month! They seem like such a fun thing to look back on!
