It's hard to type with only one hand free, so I've been putting off this journal entry. That which is usually taking up my other arm is napping now, though.

So Lydia was born on Friday, March 27 at 10:46 a.m., and was 8 lbs, 6 oz and 21 inches long. I think she's adorable, but since I'm biased I also get to say that everyone else thinks so too. My new dev ID proves it, so there. Go look at my cute baby.

I find that my new role as a mother has been considerably easier to transition into than my new role as a homemaker. This whole business of staying home rather than going to work seems odd.

The sleep loss from being a new mommy hasn't been too hard on me, though- I'm used to short hours and nap easily. It's mostly been difficult to get any work done, since my work primarily consists of building a website and sculpting/painting mezuzot to sell on said website. I'll post a few up later when I've actually got them up for sale.

I'm also trying to get into doing some millefiori work with the Sculpey, and have some ideas for a really nice mezuzah or two using the technique. My time to draw has also been limited, but I've managed a few quick sketches ... that I haven't gotten around to scanning yet. One or two are too racy for DevArt anyway, though.

Just a reminder: commissions are still open. [link] I'll make time for them, I promise.
