Things we have been up to lately...

We have finally moved! I can hardly believe it but we finally moved. After months of renovation works back and forth with no end in sight, we are finally all moved in. The renovation process took so much time from us, it wasn’t a pleasant experience at all but I’m glad that we are able to be done with it(almost). Moving day was ok but E was down with a really bad cough right on the day we moved. He was already reacting to the dusts from all the packing we were doing a week before the move but on the day itself, he woke up with a really bad cough and on our first day at the new house, it was just hard. First day, he actually managed to sleep through the night(with all the coughing), surprisingly. The first few nights, it was hard for him sleep, but other than that, he got on quite ok. He seems quite at home too, just playing, spending his days like normal which is nice. I guess all the months going back and forth and talking about the new house helped. So I am glad that he feels alright so far with the move. I am still adjusting. Still settling, I miss my old neighbourhood, even though its 10 minutes away. And its also where for the last three years, the three of us, have been exploring so much of and there’s just moments of us there at every turn, it’s still there, and we can still be there but it’s just that feeling that it’s different. now we are exploring our neighbourhood and it’s new and different but still the same, it’s all strange I guess.

now we are settling and sometimes it’s nice.

1. our entryway, I like that we have an entrance now :)

2. This Muji toaster :) got it secondhand kind of, since the person barely used it.

3. completed this Seinfeld lego set, after a year of receiving it.

4. first plant for our new house

5. my own work space. I have not drawn for weeks, so hopefully soon now that I have set up the work space.

on other things,

so yes I haven’t drawn for quite a while, nor updated my shop or did anything remotely to do with SatsumaOrange. I did before we moved, did a couple of designs for cards which I uploaded on Cardly. It has been nice to see some increase in card sales over there, so I will probably think of more designs for there. It’s nice for me for now since I don’t have to think about mailing or printing. Just designing. I should probably for now focused on selling in this way more. For a few times I tried to do so on Society6 but I never committed to it but I like the idea of selling cards so yes will try to do more of that.
