It was a day of ahhh. I was off from work so I could spend time in the studio and catch up on a few things around home. Working intently in the studio, I made many new earrings, hangings and necklaces for the shop. Ever since I was a little girl, all I ever really wanted to do was make things and sell them. I am so blessed, so unbelievably lucky, to be able to do just that.

Anyhow, while creating away, Jake came out and wanted to have lunch with me IF he could drive his new car to our lunch spot. I didn't really want to leave but as a friend said last week, " anytime a teenager wants to spend time with you...." so off we went. A nice mexican lunch in the middle of the day. That child of mine can eat and he is not a cheap date either!

I managed to do two chores that have been staring me down in the house too. I washed, with the garden hose, the three tier rattan end table I use for colored pencils by " MY " chair in the living room. Then, because I was on a roll, I cleaned and polished my leather chair! As I sat in it this evening to begin the evening's projects, I thought, " ahhh, accomplished! "

Desk view.

My ahhh, clean and shiny leather chair and refreshed work table.
