:: my 1st deadline for rustic wrappings is here and i am meeting it with a reserved excitement.
:: in the past 28 days, i have done the following...
:: written 18 original project tutorials and shared more than 15 pages of techniques...
:: designed more than 20 one of a kind new pieces of jewelry...
:: finished knitting two sweaters! here was the first...
:: did a mini remodel on our master bath room...
:: finished reading two books...
:: watched more than a foot of snow fall and then seen it turn to rain, today it is all washing away...
:: helped install a new dishwasher and added a fresh coat of paint to all the lower kitchen cabinets...
:: played board games galore with my kids and squashed more petty arguments than i can count...
:: laughed hard and wrestled with a growing thirteen year old...
:: helped an excitable boy design a soon-to-be-built lego table...
:: frantically pulled together a last minute (because she forgot) star-of-the-week project with my girl (10 minutes ago)...
:: ate more grapefruit...
:: had so many wonderful phone chats with friends...
:: went antiquing and came up empty...
:: missed my studio and torch more than words can say (so so excited to get there today!)...
:: felt a seriously deep appreciation for my husband for putting up with the stressed out version of myself...
:: felt that for my mom and sister too, for putting up with my snapping on the phone...
:: joined picture inspiration on big picture classes...
:: acknowledged that i can't take an inspired photo everyday for a month, but i can do it once a week for a year...
:: loaned that pair of earrings to my girl for a birthday party where she promptly lost them...
:: sighed heavily more times than i can count... and time to do that again as i meet a huge deadline today.

deep breath, one step at a time... when you reflect upon your month i am in awe- you are really a power house kerry and somehow manage to balance it all...
Dang, woman! You accomplished more in one month than I do in a year...LOL! Oh, and losing those earrings? Gulp! So sad...good thing you can make more ;o)
Please, would you bottle whatever "it" is and send me some?! You deserve one of those super duper ventis.
And just think what more you could have done if February had those 2 extra days - ha!
Oh Kerry, your lovely earrings! But *wow*, you have achieved a lot. Somtimes it's good to see all that we have done written up in black and white...you've had a good month by the sounds of it, if filled!
Oh my goodness girl!! bet u could use a neck rub! mine hurts just thinking about all that! i'm starting my first lamp work lesson on WED. Can't wait i am bringing your book with me. Where i live there is only one place that does lessons and they make stained glass. it's my dream to go to one of those big bead shows i see in the mags, and meet all the wonderful artisits in person and take workshops mayb some day.have a good day Kerry :) p.s.Rose did a wonderful job with the bead soup u shared with her, she is one lucky gal to have you as a bead soup partner :)
