Lazy Days Of Summer

I think that whoever coined the term, "Lazy Days of Summer" didn't have small children and a penchant for beading. It can be so hard to find time to make stuff amid a bustling home filled with small children. One of them likes to make jewelry with me another on likes to eat the beads while another one likes to take them and press them into Play Dough. Some of the Play Dough beads are never seen again...
It's been pretty busy here. I have a sister who lives in Sweden and comes for a visit once a year in the Summer. I feature her Earth Elements pendants in my store and market them for her. Today was the first day I showed them to a lovely woman I happened to bump into. She loved them so much she would like to sell them in her pottery studio. She however, did not like my pieces. She said they were the type of thing that would sell but they weren't organic enough for her taste. Oh well, glad that she'll buy the pendants outright. It will help my sister along on her quest to purchase her very own kiln. It's hard to find used ones where she is out in the Nordic country side.
You'll be glad to know that I have manged to keep my son safe during our last two outings to water. Both of them were to the beaches on the Atlantic up in NH. I think the cold water deterred him from walking in over his head. I went swimming with my oldest daughter in oldest son while my husband watched from the shore. I'm pretty sure he was cringing and wondering if we'd by hypothermic when we finally got out. It was a great time.
I have and appointment at a store tomorrow. The woman likes to consign my items but I find that frustrating. I have all of this hard work sitting there waiting for someone to happen in and find it amidst the other stuff everywhere. It's not accessible to me for my shows or my website. I'm thinking I'll leave it be until after the holidays and see how everything pans out in the end.
I'm off to create, then sleep.
