It's been a while since I've had time to spend in the studio finding my creative self.
I've found my organizational self - which did release some of my inner creative being...
Chloe loves coming into the studio with me to work on stringing beads…
She makes lots of bracelets for her friends at school...

| Chloe gets her own area to work in, away from mom's stuff. |
And she loves to paint with underglazes on bisque beads I've got around the studio…
I think it is amazing to watch her techniques at this stage - it is all by feeling and instinct.
And she and I spend time outside exploring in the garden together...
I think I may be rubbing off on her with some of my interests…
I hope she rubs off on me just as much with her 3 year old visions and inclinations…
I recently heard that the Helen Graham Cancer Center installed a green roof garden outside of their chemo treatment floor in their new building. My mom would have loved this view instead of a hospital room when she was trying to fight her Leukemia back in 2007.
Unfortunately we were there to get some blood work done for my husband on Monday.
We are praying nothing too serious - maybe just oddly normal stuff (so far things are pointing in that direction). But this is where the hematologists offices are…
I hope we only have to go back for follow up visits with good news…
We want to spend more time here having moments things like this...
…and this:
And for me, I am happily finding a little time here and there to get into the jewelry area.
I can actually just reach up and grab the stuff I need, use it, then put it back…
SWEET!!!
Especially happy to work on some custom earring orders for some customers that ordered them through my Etsy shop!
I really enjoy this side of the process…
Thanks for letting me create these for you!
Don't you want a pair too? I can make them for you…
Just go pick your shard & tell me to make them into earrings for you ;)

Oh, and I got my hair cut on Monday afternoon - chin length…
And have been glazing like a fiend getting a ton of cabs ready for upcoming shows for D7 Studio.
Will have more pics of all that stuff soon.
We have a birthday this weekend & Harry Potter movie to go and see…
Hope you're getting through the every day too…
Thanks for swinging by!
Chilhood is full of magic moments. I often wish that I could see the world in that way again. Unfettered by convention, guided by wonder. Wishing you well on the hematology reports. I can imagine how frightening it might be. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteOh Marsha, I know how frightening waiting for Drs. reports can be and sending healthy thoughts your way! The pictures of the children are so beautiful! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Chloe's workstation in your studio to sit and create --> that is fabulous! What a great way for the two of you to spend time together. :) That rooftop garden is beautiful, but I hope you don't get any extra time there to enjoy. Healthy thoughts going your husband's way.
