A large shop update
So far this pregnancy resembles Rosa's pregnancy quite a bit, but one thing is so different: back then I couldn't care less about ceramics and making things for almost the whole nine months, but this time I just can't seem to stop making things. Seriously, when I was pregnant with Rosa I couldn't wait to start 'nestling' and just doing nothing, but now all I want to do is keep working. I guess it has something to do with knowing what to expect more: I know now that once there's a little baby I probably won't be working much for a long time, and though I look forward to meeting our baby, I now also know that I'll miss making things when my complete focus is on 'the family'. So maybe I'm already trying to make up for that a bit? ;)
One thing that may be important to know: I'll keep taking on custom orders for about two more weeks, then I'll probably stop taking them so that I can focus on what has to be finished before I start my maternity leave. I'll try to keep the shop open as long as possible (my due date is December 26, so I hope there'll still be enough time for holiday shopping & shipping ;)), and maybe there'll be a few more small shop updates in the next few weeks, but it's also very well possible that this is the last big update before I'll close the shop.

Hi Nina, hier wordt hard gewerkt aan de lay-out niet? Mooi hoor!
Je blog ziet er mooi uit Nina! Helder en fris!
What lovely pieces!
Hi Nina, congratulations on your pregnancy and on all this beautiful work that you're cranking out! I can so relate to your feelings as you prepare to put your creativity on the back burner while you make room in your life and heart for this new little person! The second time around you have a much better idea of what that process asks of you :) But how lucky you are to have a life full of such inspiration. Enjoy your baby to the fullest (they are so much smaller and sweeter than you remember!) and know that you're creativity will be there to meet you, when you have time and space for it again. x Ellie
Zo herkenbaar :)) en was eigenlijk ook nooit klaar om te gaan bevallen (wilde nog zoveel doe omdat ik dacht daarna geen tijd of zin te hebben :)) en het is er mooier en fijner dan bevallen midden in het dagelijkse leven.
Liefs
..gek mijn berichtje waarschijnlijk niet goed verstuurd, want het staat er niet bij.
geniet igg van je energie. het is heel herkenbaar. ik kan achteraf nog wel eens lachen om die gekke dingen die ik nog net voor de bevalling deed. maar vond het ook zo heerlijk om midden in de dagelijkse drukte te bevallen. en daarna even lekker stil te staan en te wennen van het nieuwe gezin. liefs
Wat is toch mooi om naar al die fraaie spullen te kijken die jij maakt. En je hebt gelijk dat je dat doet voordat de baby er is, want je weet dat het daarna een drukke periode is. groetjes Martine.
