I think I bookmarked your site from the about.com/jewelrymaking forum, and just tonight decided to sort through my overwhelming list of bookmarks...
I think at the time I first read your blog, you had just started and only had a few entries. Now you've been at it a few months and it's very interesting to similarities between you and myself!!
I have a 24-month-old son named Ethan and I too am a jewelry maker. I thought it was funny to read that you and your husband take care of your son every other night - I thought we were the only ones who had that arrangement!! I was a stay at home Mom up until a month ago when I started to work part time as a pastry chef(after 10 months being at home). At least I still have 3 hours a day to make jewelry while Ethan takes a nap!!! I feel for you as far as Ryan not sleeping through the night - we dealth with that and finally just decided to let him sleep with us - WHAT A MISTAKE!! 6 months later I was still getting pushed out of our king bed!!! The best solution was to get a big boy bed and let him feel like he had ownership - I made him a special quilt and throw pillow...and if he is scared in the middle of the night, we have trained him to come in our room instead of us getting up 5 times a night!!!
Anyway, I love peyote stitch and like your beaded beads!!
Best wishes!!! Sarah www.rubylane.com/shops/ariesbeadeddesigns
