young hearts be free tonight

I'm really really really a horrible blogger and am sort of regretting trying to do this again.  I think I'll probably start one just for my kids, kind of like an open letter.  Maybe.  Maybe not.  Who knows.  One person reads this thing and she probably gets enough of me on Facebook.  =)

I've had lots of good days lately and I am so thankful for each and every one of them.     Last week before The Handmade Market was rough physically (therefore emotionally) but taking the week off from soldering, setting up a new space for it AND getting a kick ass massage has done me right.  So there's good thing #1.  Good thing #2 is that I finally committed to a studio space that I've wanted for a few months and luckily the space is being moved to a different building where there is more room so I don't have to wait for someone to leave anymore.  HURRAY!  I'm so ready to have my house back and have co-workers, so to speak.  Good thing #3 is that I've been getting more new stores than I can handle.  Wait, is that a good thing or not?  I'm only one girl so it is tough but paying bills is grrrrrreat!  There's more good things but I'm not sharing those just yet.

I have some new jewelry ideas bubbling just below the surface and I expect that when the kids are with their Dad next week the designs will explode and I won't get much sleep but I'll be immersed and content.  I also have a playdate with one of my most talented friends, Ndidi, to work on a new Luxe Storybook Charm line.  Ooooooooooh......intrigued, yes?

My son got a kiss from his girlfriend today.  Granted, they are in 2nd grade and the kiss was on his arm BUT I could see that he was floating and distracted from it all afternoon and evening.  I'm not ready for young love but I do love seeing him radiate.  He also learned a new word today:  ass.   And yes, I gave him all the definitions of it that I know.  I know he won't use it improperly.  Yet.

Life is good.  Yes, yes it is.
