Sorry I've been so quiet..

Hi there, Sorry I've been so quiet lately. Ever since I got home from the ACC show, I've just been taking a mental break. I'm happy and content and feeling peaceful, and it's a feeling I haven't had in a long time. Spring is here, I'm back in the clay studio and I'm back in the light. As Sting said in one of his songs "Everyone has to leave the Darkness sometime". I have never experienced the total and absolute grayness of living that I was under these past years. It was a fully opaque grayness that just absorbed all the light. There were pinholes of light that would come through, but the grayness was so greedy, it just sucked up any light that made it through. Some of you may not have any idea what I'm talking about, and let's hope that you never experience it. It was just a terrible place for my spirit. But on the brighter side (pun sort of intended), LIFE is so much better right now. I have the sweetest and cutest little daughter and she makes me laugh everyday. Nice shoes, huh? This kid is addicted to my iPhone. Now, I know lots of kids like their parents' cell phones, but this kid is a addict, for sure. She loves the Black Eyed Peas video "My Humps" and Justing Timberlake's video "Sexy Back". Bizarre, but she does. And she has some dance moves too. Let me tell you. I am a little worried that her dance moves are going to be a wee bit "mature" for a 2 year old, but hey. I'm not going to get too worked up about it. In the grand scheme of things, it's not a huge deal. On the clay front, things in the studio are going well. I have been working on an order that I got at the ACC show, and making some other Little Peeps too. These are what I call my Peeps: So, I'm making some clay things, and I'm even squeezing in some time to work on a canvas painting for my niece. Her birthday is coming up soon and I wanted to make her something for her room. I hope she likes it! If it turns out well, I'll post a photo.
