As we head into fall and winter, I suspect my Freddies and Heyday's jeans and trousers will be out in even greater force, very much including on our upcoming trip to Vancouver Island. <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-44467555450456560182014-09-14T12:16:15.088-07:002014-09-14T12:16:15.088-07:00I remember seeing Brittany's post about vintag...I remember seeing Brittany's post about vintage work wear and loved it!! :) Since I'm a budding pant connoisseur/lover I enjoy seeing all posts about vintage pants.seannaapprovedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09546047220109216505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-66553634202030880872014-09-08T14:20:05.156-07:002014-09-08T14:20:05.156-07:00That's really wonderful to know, Sanne, thank ...That's really wonderful to know, Sanne, thank you. I've really been thinking in recent weeks about shaking things up on the blog post front in 2015 - I don't want thinks to unintentionally become staid here and some more majorly photo/illustration filled posts could go a good way there. I may also phase out (or less frequently post) some reoccurring series, perhaps creating one or more new ones or even bringing back some that haven't been around for years. We'll see - lots to think about and look forward to in the coming months. :)<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-2713228016114759052014-09-08T10:49:10.531-07:002014-09-08T10:49:10.531-07:00You are welcome, dear.

I do know that yes, but would you believe it - and this is me in a total nutshell - if anything, I've been putting in even longer hours since this post. Bad, Jess, I know, and do sincerely plan to scale back a bit in the fall. I know that I have to do. If I don't do it by choice, the repercussions it will have on my health will force me to and that's really not a spot I want to find myself in if at all avoidable. Please feel free to hound me about taking it a bit easier, if you want, I promise I'll appreciate it and try to heed what you say. <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-7019293907746176702014-09-05T12:44:37.360-07:002014-09-05T12:44:37.360-07:00I hope that you are really proud of how much you h...I hope that you are really proud of how much you have achieved already this year, you have packed a lot of great stuff in.

I often find that when putting together this monthly post, I end up going back, once it's live, and rereading many (if not all) of the links in it again myself because they spoke to me so much in the first place that they landed a spot in this post. <br /><br />Our September has started off on an uncharacteristically rainy note here as well.

I appreciate your c...Thank you deeply, sweet Sanne. I appreciate your care and concern immensely, as well as your great advice. That is precisely how I've been thinking lately. I plan to scale back blog posting a little next year and perhaps also write more short/photo filled posts that are quicker/easier to produce, punctuating them sometimes with longer, more in-depth ones (I know a lot of readers prefer the former anyhow, so it could be a bit of a win-win there). Doing videos (for YouTube) when we do photo shoots, as we've been doing, also helps, too, on saving a bit of time. And there are steps, which I'm already doing, to help streamline things on Etsy as well (for example, I usually shoot a round of photos one day, sort/edit them another, do research and listings on a third, and so on). <br /><br />I really admire that you specifically, intentionally take one day a week off and genuinely relax/take things easy/have fun. I think that I should start doing that as well, most likely on the weekend, since that's when Tony is usually off and we do of course adore spending time together, but I do like the idea of a mid-week day, too. That couldn't really happen though at present, because there are several hours a week on Tuesday and Wednesday that needs to be done on those exact days for one of the income generating websites Tony and I run, but maybe Thursday - we'll see (and of course, nothing wrong, if you can swing it, with two different days a week off). <br /><br />From the bottom of my heart, thank you again, Sanne - you are such a wonderfully nice person.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-72279919243731660712014-09-01T01:04:27.782-07:002014-09-01T01:04:27.782-07:00Thank you my sweet, caring, and very understanding...Thank you my sweet, caring, and very understanding friend. That's very true - we're not able to be there for those who need us when we reach that point (which happens unto itself often for me anyhow - no need to add to the problem) and that's not a place I like to be in, as I've always been a headstrong, independent, natural caretaker who likes to be the one helping/doing for others.<br /><br />Definitely going to be pacing and resting way more from autumn onward - it's the only way to keep so many balls, to speak, up in the air at the same time without one or more crashing down in a flash. <br /><br />Huge hugs & thanks,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-92211659392535629882014-08-31T23:56:26.915-07:002014-08-31T23:56:26.915-07:00Thank you deeply, my immensely sweet and caring fr...Thank you deeply, my immensely sweet and caring friend. Fear not, I will try my very, very hardest not to. I find, interestingly, that often posting about things here on my blog helps hold me extra accountable (even if it's just to myself) and ensure that I do what I said I planned to - in this case pacing myself and relaxing more. Hopefully such will be the case in this instance. <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-39651271232033209632014-08-31T23:49:25.081-07:002014-08-31T23:49:25.081-07:00Fabulous links!

The key is just not burning out to the point where you risk doing serious harm to your health and/or mental well being. This year has been unlike any other for me and I've loved a great deal of it. I want to try and ensure the next (and on and on) are fabulous and productive, too, if at all possible, so pacing and taking intentional breaks between those bursts is a must. Thankfully, some much needed R&R is in the cards in less than two weeks and that should help there for the remainder of 2014 a great deal.<br /><br />Many heartfelt thanks again - have a terrific Labour Day!<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-35260049884939162292014-08-31T22:01:14.956-07:002014-08-31T22:01:14.956-07:00As am I - the fact that (based on that post at lea...As am I - the fact that (based on that post at least) no one seems to be able to definitely say how that "graveyard" of cars came to be only heightens the spookiness factor further.

So sweet of you hun. Now on the overdoing yourself. I am beyond happy for all the changes but please do pace yourself. I know too well how overdoing can be a bad thing. I find myself totally incapacitated on my bed and I cannot budge bc the fatigue has taken over, its not a good things when kiddies or anyone needs you. I try my best to pace myself but hey like you, I would rather be doing than not doing. But we have to remember that if we do too much we won't be to do things we need to do.

I think you have to do some math, how much could you do last year feeling fine? Then think of how much you are doing now (not feeling fine), calculate what you can do and cut down or away on some things. You should do what you love but don't do it so much it ruins your health. But I know all about doing too much and never having time, therefore I am having each Wednesday off, and I LOVE it! It is expensive, yes, but I have never felt better. You should have your free time too, doing what you want or doing nothing at all. I would love to read only one of you always thorough blogposts a week knowing you felt good at the other end of the world. I would love to look forward to it then. Please do some serious thinking and the math on what you are capable of, dear. lots of worried hugs from Sanne<br />PS: Loved your link love as always and will send the car cemetery link to my vintage car loving dad. :)SANNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973437247117000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-10645933294861666322014-08-31T07:16:26.141-07:002014-08-31T07:16:26.141-07:00Life doesn't operate according to neat rules, ...Life doesn't operate according to neat rules, so it's best to let experience guide us. What I've learned is that while balance is prudent over the long-haul, short bursts of passionate activity are good and even inevitable.
