Good things

Being self employeed is a good thing.  Even if it is hard to organize it all.  Making things is a good thing.  Even if being creative can be challenging.  Coming up with ideas to make your life better is a good thing.  Even if its hard to find time to get it all done.   I just finished up another printing project for a great friend of mine who recently had a baby girl named Ivy.  Dropped off their gift today.

That little miss is a true gift- so little and sweet and squeaky.  Reminds me of Sophia as an infant.  Though a hard time of my life- such a gift.  Life is such a gift. 

Vacation in Vermont

our cabin in vermont (rented), originally uploaded by Erika Ebert.

We returned almost two weeks ago from a ten day adventure in Vermont.  We rented a cabin on a lake near Montpellier- for some R&R and also to see if we would like to move there in the not so distant future.  It is gorgeous there to say the least and the idea of moving to a small mountain town was tempting.  The idea is that we would move to Montpellier and build a bronze foundry in the neighboring town- Barre- the granite capitol of the U.S.  It's a stone monument town that doesn't have a foundry in it- something we both think it could use.  So, we'll keep fixing up our house here in PA. and keep our eyes out for property up north.  Anyone know of a beautiful well kept farm- with an outdoor building- on about 5 acres- that has a pond- near Montpellier???
