Returning

in all sorts of ways. Returning to the blog, to the studio (although rarely), returning home from seeing family in Utah, returning to infant motherhood...
Our little Peanut was a bit late but she finally arrived on July 27th. Her name is Keaton. It's been an absolutely fantastic month so far, getting to know her, remembering how to nurse, and diaper, and soothe a newborn again - it's been over twelve years since the last one, after all. I could list all my favorite things about her, but I think that I will just give you this (and spare you any schmaltzy-ness): babies force you to slow down. Thank God for that.
So, while I haven't accomplished even a fraction of the things that I wish I could have, I've been experimenting with my first online class, sewing, baking, walking, and thinking about how to find a new studio space. But more on that later.
Have a restful weekend!
