Heading south.

After a wonderful weekend filled with multiple Easter egg hunts (and yummy food) and visiting with friends, we are hightailing it out of here :) Actually it's my little nephew's first birthday, so we are off to help celebrate (he is my sister's first child so this is rather important!) We are leaving tomorrow and we're heading back early Sunday....so I am not closing my shop down. I will place an announcement on my shop page that all orders placed between tomorrow and Sunday, will go out first thing Monday morning.

I am exhausted from a full, full day of running around like a headless momma ;) Here's the rundown:  I helped out at my son's school first thing, ran errands, completed orders, fed big and little people, packaged orders, picked up my boy from school, returned convos/calls, made a fabulous dinner, made a sh*tty cheesecake, did a mountain of dishes.......oh yeah, and packed for tomorrow (did I mention the good workout with my vacuuming arm?)! I did have to have a glass of wine while cooking though, because my two monkeys were driving me absolutely insane....that took care of it ;)

I'm looking forward to hanging out with my family....it's been a busy couple of weeks, but I've been doing really well. I started running again and it has made such a big difference. Amazing what those endorphins can do for your head! Plus, my pulled nerve seems to be healing well....I've really been baby-ing that side AND I'm working hard at releasing all of that pent up anxiety/crap that I went through. Negative energy be-gone!!!! ;)

p.s. I have new pieces going up next week!

Back to work.

I am back full time in my studio today. I can't even begin to describe how antsy and excited I have been to start back up. Last week I completed some custom orders....and I worked very slowly and only on them. I didn't want to throw myself back in to quickly. I have learned to ease into things now :)

The nerve damage is slowly healing, but more importantly, I have also been working on calming my mind. That will be I'm sure a life-long process, but my eyes are wide open now to the negative effects of what ignoring this part of my life can be.

So, now I need to run because it's time to get started. I am not sure what my schedule of posting on Etsy will be....I'll let you know in the next few days. It will either be new work on Friday or Monday.

Here are a few pictures of the Carnelian cabs that I recently bought....

I was thrilled to find these on Etsy....I had been looking for some round Carnelians for awhile.

I think I'll work on this one today!

See you soon :)
