A Sunday Love Affair

So, I promise myself every once in a while that I won't be in the studio on the weekends, and for good reason:

it's nice to take time off

I need a balance in my life between social and 'work'

(I put it in quotes because I love it so much, it feels like hobby stuff, even when it gets hectic: there is too much fun in the discoveries I experience to call it work, but it is, so there's that...)

The big wide world should be explored...

But

but

butttttt

it's rainy all weekend

and Anthony is taking me on a date tonight (!)

We lingered long over morning coffee yesterday laughing and talking and saying sweet things to each other...

AND

I am leaving for Orlando, Florida (singing at a wedding, seeing tremendous friends and my family!) for a week on Thursday morning and these ideas won't rest

or

better put,

won't allow me to rest.

So here I am, in heaven.

Schmilly pops in for a kiss every few hours, and to look at what's got me in a tizzy today:

he appreciates my situation,

knows my heart about it

and understands.

Thank goodness!

There are fins and wings and big hobo bags with foxes in love...

Choosing the suede lining, perhaps a lovely pale lavender?

There's a brilliantly messy metal bench

(leather must be clean at all times, so this messiness is only a luxury of metals...

the leather bench gets the white glove treatment.)

my fine succulent friends....

New design elements like fiddly bits for the nervous ring-wearer (this holding bowl is crazy amazing: a circle this time!)

Lavender leaves ready for rolling...

And flowers springing out of metal...

Pierced sterling medallions with maidenhair ferns

From which a prized agua nueva agate will hang....

in short, I am in love.

I am in love on a Sunday

with more things than I can list,

but these are a few.

Off to kiss the Schmill (who I love the mostest),
