more shots

4 hours on saturday was spent on shooting the original paintings for the etsy shop (another 8 in editing and loading).  my poor condo was in ruins. i moved my bed, pictures, all vases/plants/ceramic items were out of place; it was hard to walk!  but i got some cool shots.  check out the original paintings section of the new shop to see the rest here.
today i worked on 25 new pieces for the vintage line and we bulked up our trunk show stock.  i'm almost ready to hit the road for austin!  first i have to get the fabrics in for the house shoes and get those in production, ship some orders, and finish laundry!
i'm starting to miss having balance.  i actually cooked this weekend and it makes me so happy!  i made some braised short ribs with sweet and sour red cabbage on sunday.  tonight i had a german pancake with bruleed bananas and threw some greek yogurt, strawberries & bananas into the Vitamix then the ice cream maker for some fresh frozen yogurt.  i'm misisng the gym so bad that i'm squeezing in planks, squats, and situps into a quick 15 min regimen before bedtime.
in craving balance, i look forward to life in waxahachie every day.  i picture a slower pace and more outside time.  i picture bringing in whatever is growing in the garden and basing dinner off of it.  i hope to build online business enough to not have to hit the road so often.  i would love to have a little place in downtown waxahachie with SBHome and the jewelry along with refurbished vintage finds, potted herbs, and my mom's packaged sweets.   ben and i are looking into more creative lenders to help make this a reality sooner than later!  wish us luck!
