My week

Yesterday, Seámus had his six month well-baby checkup. Everything was fine… but they are concerned about his weight. :sigh: If you were to look at him, he doesn’t look like a below-weight baby. He looks happy and healthy. But they want me to come in a few weeks to have his weight checked again. He’s in the 90th percentile for height, and 10th perecentile for weight - not really a good combination, I guess. He hasn’t been too interested in solids, so we’ve not pushed it, but now his pediatrician really wants us to get him going on solids. We’ll try!

I’ve been busy with my mosaics this week. I finished up my smalti pieces so I can put the smalti away for now. It’s fun to play with and it really helped me improve my technique, but I don’t like working with it exclusively. I bought a 4×8′ piece of plywood today, and Phil is busy cutting it up into pieces for my next batch of mosaics. I’ve got a number of orders to fill and I am starting to prepare for the summer shows. I’ve already signed up for four shows, and I am probably going to try to get into another one which is juried. We’ll see from there. I like to do the shows in Greenville because they are cheap and it helps me form a local presence. The juried show is a little more expensive, but hopefully it will be worth it. If I’m going to pay more to do a show, I want to be able to count on it being a worthwile investment. I’m also thinking about having a sign-up at my shows for a newsletter detailing my current work and special offers. I’d really like to have this option for those people who stop at my booth, are interested in it, but want to think about it some more (and then usually forget).
