Thank you for sharing with us; I feel ALWAYS too eccentric and "unique" but as I get older, I realise these are precious gifts and I love who I am now....

Thanks! Can't wait for felice brothers in May!

I'm trying to change that though, and since it seems like you could use a virtual hug from a complete stranger, I'm stepping up for that. *hug* Like everyone else here, I very much admire your work -- its simplicity and honesty -- as well as your manner of declaring yourself -- also simply and honestly. You seem to be a warm and generous soul, and I like you. We also have some of the same taste in music (did Mumford and Sons kick a** at the Grammys or what! and I had tuned in to see my very fave band, the Avett Bros). So please be cheered and supported to know that you have many admirers out in the netherworld. We are cheered and supported to have you. <br />*another hug*<br />GraceGraceChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01841872599168006916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032099826610166672.post-76136548074802667342011-02-17T18:08:37.800-08:002011-02-17T18:08:37.800-08:00Oh!

I found your blog through your Etsy shop. I love looking at the beautiful pictures of your jewelry and your family and the landscape you live in!<br /><br />I find you so refreshingly honest and cheerful in your posts; just reading about your pieces and the inspiration behind them inspires me as well.<br /><br />I'm sorry you're in a bit of a funk, but I'm sure it will pass.

I, too, have adopted sort of a "expect nothing" philosophy, I try to blow off the bad and feel gratitude for the good, and go about my business. it does get easier.

I thought the post was interesting since the etsy group I'm in, we all posted about change in our blogs. Change is the ever needed part of growth so I think change is a good thing personally.

Love reading what you have to say, and adore your work. Wish I could meet you in person. Sorry to hear life is making another change on you. Perhaps without the hard side of life our creative side would be less clear? I like to hold onto that anyway. xoCathy @ CabbageQuiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160655769677384920noreply@blogger.com
