I had coffee at a friends house (Cynthia! ) and it was so tidy that I apparently felt the need to go home and purge. I organized my attic space and got rid of four boxes. Yeah! And I found this self-portrait that I made in college. Now my back hurts and I need to go sit down…

This week we got everyone back into the routine of things… more or less. However, I feel like I’m still recovering from summer, or maybe I should say the demands of summer.

What can I say… I’m still playing around with my new toy… and I already miss Sunriver! Sigh… But I’m back on track and I’ll have beads on Tuesday. Check back or sign up for my mailing list if you need a little reminder.

Still drawing away on my new toy.

Did I mention that I just had to have an iPad? I saw all the artistic possibilities and I was hooked. So some of the “nothing” I’m doing this week includes drawing… I need to practice as I’m only a bit knowledgeable about some of these programs, but I’m having lots of fun playing around with them! It is sort of like how I doodle on my beads, except I’m chillin’ with a beer and a good movie.

What do you think? I’ve added a new column for links to my new gallery… Pretty slick huh?!

So just a heads up that I plan to have a few set this Tuesday, but I’m going to become a bit more irregular with my store updates. Of course I’ll send out an email when I do have an update so make sure that you are on my mailing list! And never fear I’m always available for orders. Oh and don’t think I’m going away, cause I’m not! I’m just making my schedule a little more flexible to save the sanity of me and my family. Okay, back to mucking with my website. Happy Friday!

No new beads today, but of course the Mart is still open. I’ll be back in 2010 with some new goodies. I’ve ordered a new press which I hope is fun and will inspire some new jewelry ideas for everyone! Woohoo! Until then have a wonderful holiday season with family and friends. Stay tuned to my blog as I’ll have updates on many projects that I’ve been wanting to work on but haven’t had time for until now.

I can’t believe a week has gone by and I didn’t update once! I tell ya’, school is almost out, I’m obsessed with shopping carts and there are just not enough hours in the day. And now a new season of Top Chef has to be squeezed in… sheesh… I’m sure somehow I’ll manage. Take a peek at the latest if you have a minute. Happy Tuesday, oops! I mean Wednesday! Wow, I AM late!!

I just added a few new goodies so click on over to my store at www.dudamart.com. Happy Tuesday!

I’m still hooked on making these fused bead pendants. I love the detail work. I finally ordered some sparkly cubic zirconia to play with and how it sparkles under the glass!! Anyway, surf on over to www.dudamart.com to see the latest if you have a minute.
