Cosi is a wondrous place. I have been taking kids there for so long that sometimes I am immune to the magic but today I remembered. My son is now old enough to PLAY and EXPLORE and generally be in AWE. There are colors everywhere, you can touch everything, basically, nothing is off limits. And this week happens to be Big Machines week, with construction whosits and whatsits. Willow got to scoop dirt and dump it in a pile. I am jealous! I have always wanted to jump in those machines when I see them, but alas, this was only for the kiddies. Yeah Cosi!

So, my friend, Shelly, and I really need to take a more active part in building our business this year. We started over four years ago and while it doesn't seem like we've accomplished a great deal, we have done quite a few different things. We've been showcased in a few stores, been in some shows, and actually sold quite a bit for not trying that hard. But this year I want more. SO we have some plans. I love feeling inspired, like I've got a purpose in the world that doesn't involve diapers and dinner. So, we've got some things planned and are making new things. We started making these puzzles with different types of art affixed to them. We have some funky jewelry. Things are good.
