Not sure what I’m making here… but I love the sparkle!!
New beads in the Mart!

I’m still having fun making heart pendants… Thanks as always for checking in. You can find the goodies in my store at dudamart.com. Have a great night.
First attempt at yoga

I tried yoga with a friend for the first time yesterday. It was interesting… We did this move called chatarunga which is basically a push-up. Through the whole class I kept thinking… great word! I’ve got to remember that! So when I get out could I remember it? No! All I could recall is chimichonga… not quite the same thing.
Applique block five
Now this one I just finished… I thought I better put it up before I forgot about it too.
You can see the whole quilt coming together over here.
New beads in the Mart!

Keen to be a teen.

I say it every year… The time flies! We have our first teenager. Happy Birthday Lil’ D!

I can’t stop making purses!
I just love all the fabrics at my local quilt shop. I keep finding prints that inspire me which means I have to do something with them… namely… make purses! Not to mention I am in love with adding zippers everywhere. I used to be afraid of zippers but not now. In this latest hobo purse I put in three zippers and a pocket. After it was done I wished that the pocket was just another zipper. Ha!
On a glass note, you might be happy to know that DH got the WiFi working in my shop. (Can you believe I was living without it? No web access was certainly a bummer. It makes me so happy that he got it to work… he is so smart!) I should be out making beads again any day now. Alas… I guess I’ll have to take a short purse break.
Happy New Year!

I made it to midnight… central time!
I think everyone else stayed up… playing video games… Hope your New Year looks full of possibility!
Last walk of 2011
I took a nice walk through Hendricks Park this morning and the fog in the forest was beautiful, sometimes I just love Oregon. I also got to geek out with my new Bluetooth headphones. If you might want some wireless headphones, and really who doesn’t?! I certainly recommend this set… They will be great to wear while I make beads! No more keeping my music close and worrying about it getting hit with hot glass.
Then of course I wore my fitbit while I walked and I discoverd that walking through the hills of Hendricks Park is like walking up 54 flights of steps! Yeah for me!
