As baby girl's debut draws near, the husband's been deep in deep cleaning.  It's his brand of nesting.  Mine is organizing her closet, my closet, and hand-shredding ten years of tax returns.  That and literally being the nest.  Also reading and sleeping and writing these posts.  Because once our tiny human arrives, my only priority will be keeping her alive. 

That said, here are some southwestern-themed necklaces I made recently and the outfits (above) I wore with them:   

The fits are from before it got hot -- and before I precariously painted my toenails.  Until now, I never understood those jokes about pregnant women not being able to reach their feet.  Still, contorting myself into a pretzel in the name of sandal season was worth it.  Sweaty socks are no way to prepare for a child.

Or vicariously traverse a desert.
