Stop! Someone let me get off! I tell you the days are just whippin’ by… I was so busy yesterday I forgot to update my blog… oops! I did add some fun sets. I’m still enjoying the organics and drawing lots of skinny lines on beads. I’m also enjoying my new tablet! I’m about to head down to California to visit my mom with the girls, it is a 10 hour drive that we do in two days. It should be lots of fun! I’ll of course blog on the fly so stay tuned…

So I’m just having a little quiet time this weekend… DH has taken the girls camping and I’m home alone attempting to get my new computer to work. Did I mention that the beautiful box we ordered was too small for the parts that we wanted? So my new computer is just boring black which I could live with if it worked with my hardware. Sigh… What good are 10 USB ports if you can’t get your stuff to work! (Am I being to geeky? heehee…)

It must be time to go watch a movie, put my feet up, and have a beer… Maybe DH will have better luck! On the positive side my new tablet and software are awesome and *IT* works great! I used it to whip up this fun bead picture. Since I am still organizing my gallery I think I better add space for all my new fun images…

I’ve just added new beads to my store. The update is a little early today but with the kids home for the summer I have to be a little flexible, I figure early is better than late! Hope everyone is enjoying a little summer sunshine… We are all off to buy paint for the girls bedroom. No more pink with princesses, we are going with a fish theme to accent the new aquarium which we all still love.

So as expected lots of things are broken on my blog. I’ve fixed most of them easily enough but my gallery stopped working and that will take awhile to repair. I’m trying to just look at this whole process as a little exercise for my brain. It is like a big puzzle that I have to figure out! Happily I do find cool things for WP like the one below! I’m just trying to be optimistic and hopefully my new gallery will be even better…

I forgot to let everyone know that I updated my store! Hopefully you are on my mailing list anyway so you got the email…

There has been a little drama behind the scenes here which has been keeping me busy. I was being good and I downloaded a copy of my blog onto my computer for a back-up and my virus software said a file was infected! Eeek! Like what do I do about this? I only know enough to be dangerous and when I deleted the file my blog would crash… I asked DH for help and he had NONE! He said I’m beyond his web knowledge and I had to fix it without his help… sigh… I asked my webhost what was up, why did this happen? Don’t they protect my files? Haven’t heard back on that yet… So I had to take a deep breath and upgrade Wordpress.

Are you thinking what is the big deal? Well… that might be true, except I have upgraded in the past to disastrous results! And even though my blog still looks pretty good at first glance if you click around there are broken links that I now have to figure out… BUT! I did do it and I didn’t break it!! Woohoo!! I can’t tell you how happy this makes me! Okay, enough computer whining for one day… off to ship some packages!

I’m hooked on the swirly goodness of organics again… I’ve just added some new sets to my store, click on over to check ‘em out!

I made this necklace and it is really comfortable to wear! I had such a great time hammering the bar which the pendant drops from… I think I might be a little addicted to hammering silver now. I’m cleaning a big ol’ pile of beads for tomorrow so check back if you have a minute!

I’ve added just a few sets in my store - www.dudamart.com. Take a peek if you have a minute. Sorry I was late this morning… I think the lazy days of summer are catching up with me, not to mention this heat is just zapping my energy! Every day I think I’ll get this, that, and the other thing done and somehow it doesn’t happen… sigh… oh well. I’m sure re-organizing my store hasn’t helped but I do love how it looks. Hopefully you do too. Anyway, I hope you are staying cool in the sunshine!

Psst… Make sure you check out the new entries below, I got a little behind in my updates!

These are kind of fun earrings. I like the little glass component that I hung the bead from… I have a matching necklace that I need to share… So much jewelry, so little time!

I’ve just added a few new goodies to my store. If you are not too busy having fun in the sun stop on by for a peek!
