hello May

May is already here. This year is flying by.

Last week was a good week. I sold at an Americana/Bluegrass festival, and although it wasn't the best market I have ever done from a monetary standpoint, it was a whole lot of fun. We met some friends there; George, our friend, played, and Piper danced with George and Elisha's kids. 

I am selling again this weekend, on Saturday, here in town, so I have been sewing alot with breaks in between. Piper and I try to get out to the lake a couple times a week for some time outside. It has been so good to see her playing and splashing out there. She totally loves it, and I really like being still, thinking and watching her, and taking in some sunshine. I love my work, and I love the creative lifestyle, but it does get to be a little repetitive. I do take alot of joy in making things well, and paying alot of attention to details, but the repetition can still get a little old. I am also ready to start sewing more clothes again. I intended to get a spring collection together this year but time got away from me. I still want to make some things for myself and for my little girl... once this season of craft fairs is over, I plan to do more personal sewing. I hold these things loosely, though, knowing that as a mom, you never know how much time you will have.

I am looking forward to traveling to SC in a couple weeks to go to the beach with Trevor's side of the family. Piper is already turning a little brown; she has the sweetest little girl skin. She is going to love the ocean. We did this last year, and she was alot smaller; I think this year she will never want to leave. Her birthday is coming up (and also mine, which is the next day). Can't wait to celebrate her second year of life.

Also, in the pictures above, we went to eat at a great little place in town. We really like finding places that are kid-friendly to eat at. Cali-n-Titos is awesome on that level. Plus the food is really good, and the atmosphere makes me feel like I am on vacation somewhere tropical.

Take care and be back soon.
