Ready, Set... Go!

Today feels like one of those days
     So far
           That I am on top of things.

My husband is off to a day at work (Yay for a new job!!)
Following a good breakfast.
     Eggs with cheese on toast
            His topped with massive amounts of ketchup

The dishes are all clean.
      (Yes, this is a big deal!)

Everything is even prepared to make bread.


Yeast proofing
Cornmeal mixture cooling
and ingredients measured out and ready to go.

All I need to do is add hot water to my daughters oatmeal when she wakes up. 

     Even considering that my coffee isn't hot anymore, and I just noticed that my KitchenAid paddle attachment has a chip in the enamel, I think I am going to stick today in the "Win" column.

We are going to storytime today, and I have to do
some more work in the studio.
     Rings
     Earrings
     Gifts

Even more designs are floating about in my mind, and I am getting excited to make more fun pieces, which most often means kinetic.

I will admit it, though.
It still is really hard to balance studio time with a kid and a home.
There are always dishes to wash
     laundry to do
     meals to cook
And when nap time comes around, it seems more important to take care of those everyday things, so as not to take away from family time with the people I love, then to sit and work in the studio doing something I love.
None the less, this is life, and it's a good one.
So I do take the time to get to everything, somehow.

Cheers to new projects.
