Black + Whites

Hello hello my friends....well LOTS has been going on here in the last few months, but i feel like i can share my lil secret now (I think some of you know anyways but.....)

Sparky Jones is expecting!!!!!

Yeppers - earlier in the year when i was taking some time out to revamp Sparky, ie; working on a spectacular new business plan, fantabulous new designs, new outlook on running a biz .....well......

i guess it was also the most perfectly imperfect time to get knocked up !!!

All giggles aside..me + the mister are supa excited, as it was in the cards for us, we just didn't expect it to happen so fast as we are no spring chickens if you know what i mean!!!

Thank my lucky stars i didn't get 'the sickness' -  but i knew something was up when::

- i would fall asleep on my sewing machine, cutting table, ironing board(not so safe)..pretty much anywhere i could rest my head.

- when i could sew, i'd have to stop all of a sudden, run to the nearest cafe + yell 'gimme gimme' and inhale cookies like the cookie monster

- i had thoughts of just having one job!! (this is really weird for me as...i can't remember the last time i didn't have 3 jobs on go, and a full weekend of pleasant nothingness!)

Anyways we are currently at the halfway point...20 weeks into the journey infact, so we just had our black + whites done...yeppers little pictures of blobs and shading n' shadows that make up a baby...and apparently all is looking positive!!



I decided to go back to work full time, and just to work that one job....have my weekends to spend with my sweet, take some time to smell the roses and enjoy a summer of freedom + sleep. 

So alas, Sparky had to take a back seat...but its been good to have a break, really step back, actually research and think with a clear mind (instead of with the heart::which i have realized does not run a successful business...a fullfilled one but not successful!)

So i hope you will enjoy the journey in the meantime, as the Sparks will return...!!!.

bye bye for now :: lil jj

ps:  i guess the names Sparky + Jones are out for baby names...any suggestions???
