All the hype! How can we resist? Only $600! Such a deal! HA! Oh well… I love my little cameraphone which isn’t quite so fancy, I take pictures with it more than I actually call people. I did buy a gadget recently, I purchased some wireless headphones so that I can hear movies better in my studio. My generator and hood make quite the racket so I thought I’d see if some better headphones would help. I love them! They work SO well that I often spook myself when I watch anything suspenseful. I hear some soft creak and I swear someone is in the room withe me and then I realize it is the movie, I’m not used to hearing ALL the sound effects. Heehee… Anyway, I’m enjoying a cool day of rain while I melt a little glass. Hope you are enjoying your day too.

After going to a softball game last night…

I came home and added another auction of Terra beads over on ebay. I feel like I really got the full spectrum of colors that this glass can offer in this set, lots of deep purples, blues, greens, ambers, and more. It was quite fun to make.

The auction is HERE. You can always see the few goodies that I have to offer on ebay at ebay.dudadesigns.com. Have a great day!!

I have just listed some new sets in my store, you can find them at www.dudamart.com. Hope you are enjoying some sunshine near you!

Beads on Tuesday! You will find ‘em here. Stay tuned…

Big ol’ donuts are just part of the Sunriver tradition. It has been a great trip, we already think that if possible we should stay longer next year! It is hard to head home but I’m sure once I get there it will be nice to be back…

Today we went to Lava River Cave which is a trek we have done before. We learned to dress warm as caves are freezing, and make sure you have plenty of light! It is a huge cave that is about a mile walk each way. Aside from out kids running off into the darkness and leaving all the parents behind, it was a nice walk.

So lets see, first we went to Benham Falls (shown above) and then we went to check out Lava Butte. I have decided that part of why I love Eastern Oregon is because it is mostly flat which means no crazy hikes which DH is partial to. Checking out the falls was a nice easy walk and then at Lava Butte, which was right next door, we got to drive to the top and walk around the edge of the cinder cone. It was simply gorgeous! Of course I forgot my camera but you could see for miles because we were so high up, like 500 feet above the surrounding area. There were oh so many pine trees and a few snow capped mountains to admire. Then at the base of the cinder cone you could see the path that the lava took, it was very cool! Anyway, we came home for lunch and a little lounging and then we were off for another bike ride. What a wonderful day!
