Being a Mom...

Today Emme is twenty-one days. I can't even believe it. I'm still in shock! She's an absolute angel. She couldn't be more perfect. I'm sure every mom says that, but it's just so true. They are absolutely perfect. Perfect like puppies - you know, the ones that if they weren't so cute they might be great consideration to leaving them on the front porch. But she's not like that. She's really perfect.

Last weekend she made her way through her first show. She spent most of her hours at The Dallas Flea sound asleep in Grandma's lap. It was great to get back in the swing of things and got me very excited about the 2011 season of designing and selling - which I was in desperate need of.

I've found myself the exact opposite of what I expected from myself. I expected to be climbing the walls waiting around for James to get home to relieve me of my baby duties. I thought I'd be thrilled to get away to work. Much to my surprise, I'm not at all. I'm thrilled to spend every moment I can with this little girl. The great thing about being home is that I can still design while I'm with her. I've finally figured out why so many moms out there start their own business ideas when they have little ones.

I'm excited to be rolling out a new design in the next couple of weeks. The men's bracelet with a clasp has been way more popular than I expected. More often than not I completely sell out. So, I've decided to bring out a women's version for those women out there who are frustrated by the bangle design and would rather work with a clasp. It will be designed from a string one pitch higher than the men's version - slightly more delicate. Look for it!

There's an old Sparrows tune called My Beautiful Life. It's a slight break from Carter's more rockin' and rollin' Sparrows tunes. It's funny how Carter shows up. If we play Emme this song more often than not she immediately calms down. I think she has a guardian angel.
