Saturday, 2:48pm

The past two weeks have been strange.
Lots of movement, lots of change, lots of creativity.

I am so focused on everything I am working on creatively, and it's exciting.

Walked on the beach this morning, found some new stones...so inspired by stones these days...I posted 17 necklaces on my new Etsy web-shop!
Finally.

It took me a little while to figure out how I wanted to make these necklaces available to the world, but I've figured it out and am more excited than ever to share this new creative journey with you guys! (And just in time for Valentine's Day!)

Many necklaces at my little work station in a bright corner of the living room:

I sold my first piece at the Hotel Cafe show the other night.
It felt really cool!
I think I had to get to a place where I was comfortable parting with these guys.
I'm so attached to every stone and every piece I create.

I think this is because the process is very personal - walking on the beach every morning, lost in thought, looking for the perfect stones, feeling the sand, dodging the waves....it's hard to part with the treasures I unearth! But I know that they will go to people who will love them and love wearing them...a little piece of this part of my world, a little piece of the ocean and this time in my life, a little piece of me and my creative vision goes along with every piece of jewelry I make, and I'm finally ready to send them off to their new homes.

Last week's Hotel Cafe show was so much fun.
Here are some photos, many thanks to the awesome Steve Agee:

So I think it's time to go to the gym.
I've really been putting that off this past week, and I kind of hate myself for it.
(Not enough to get off my ass and change it, of course.)

It's not laziness - I've just been so much more interested in creating jewelry, writing new songs and eating chocolate and muffins (damn PMS).

It's like every day I wake up and say "I've got to go to the gym today! I'll feel so much better in a month if I just start going today!"

And then I see a muffin and I'm like "I shouldn't eat that muffin. I should go to the gym and not eat that muffin. But it looks so good. I will eat the muffin today and go to the gym tomorrow."

And then I eat the muffin.

And later in the day I'm like "Dark chocolate sounds really good right now. But I can't eat dark chocolate! I ate that muffin! I didn't even go to the gym!! I should NOT eat the chocolate, and I should go to the gym, even though I ate that muffin this morning. There is still time to turn this day around..."

And then I skip the gym, eat chocolate and make jewelry instead.

(See, even now, I should probably stop writing and go to the gym. But instead, I choose to write about it.)

Ugh. At least I'm not procrastinating with video games...or crack...

And at this point in the day, there is still time to go to the gym.
It is now 3:15.
I can still do it and be done long before dinner.
I could also clean and reorganize my closet, something I've been wanting to do for a while.
I think I'll go to the gym.
Good choice.
Sorry to involve you in this madness.
Hope you are having a beautiful Saturday.
