Bump Update

About time I posted an update I reckon. Bump is now getting huge! It always seems to be wonky these days too as Junior tries to get comfy in there. Here are some more bump photos from 29 weeks up to last week. Seeing them all together makes me realise how much it has grown over the last couple of months...

So, less than 3 weeks to do until my due date now. Could be any day! A friend who was due the week before me had her baby two weeks early so that made us realise we really did need to get sorted and pack a hospital bag etc! Bags are now by the door and the car seat base is fitted. The big day will probably be two weeks late now but at least we're as ready as we'll ever be. So excited!

For anyone who has popped over to my blog to find out about Storeyshop, as you will have gathered, I'm about to have my first baby so have closed my shops and put my scalpels away for a few months. I'll be back at the cutting mat early 2013 and look forward to hopefully working with you then! To see my work, here are a few links you can follow: Etsy card sales, Etsy 'About Me' page, Facebook, Twitter. You can also use the search box on the right hand side of this blog to search for wedding stationery or whatever else you are looking for. Thanks!

Storeyshop Is Moving!

So the other big news, apart from Bump, is that Storeyshop is moving to Yorkshire! Goodbye quiet but lovely sticks of Northumberland and hello city living (sort of). We're off to Sheffield where Mr has a larger factory space he can build his Ibex vehicles in and where I can also have a studio (woo hoo!). We came up with the idea of moving to back to Mr's homeland (God's Country apparently) about this time last year so it's been a long time in the planning and we're excited to be finally getting going. We move in on Tuesday -our 2nd wedding anniversary!

We are letting our little house out and have found a cool flat in a old converted asylum. It's quite a bit smaller than where we are now though so some serious stuff-editing has been occurring! Yes, I'm a complete hoarder as if you wouldn't have guessed from my 30+ egg cup collection (they are all coming with us by the way).


So do say hello if you are in the Yorkshire area. I can't wait to explore the local art and design scene and find some vintage and craft fairs. Not to mention charity and junk shops to start 'gathering' again (see photo above of my latest charity shop purchase which I have managed to sneak in since the 'no more tat buying before we move' rule laid down by Mr). I'm looking forward to meeting some Mums and Mums-to-be, too so we have signed up for the local NCT course in July.

On that note, bump is coming along nicely! I'm 19 weeks today. Here's a couple of pics from 18 and 19 weeks...
