I wrote a lovely post last night which as totally disappeared. Where do things go that you so diligently post on the internet? Is there a large  accumulated junk yard somewhere out there in the great voids of cyberspace? I am not at all sure there is not.

In any event, Happy New Year! Doesn't it feel great to have a fresh start, a new outlook, a chance to begin again? I have so many plans and ideas racing around in my head!
Drawings, paintings, charms, knitting - every minute seems like an explosive new idea arrives in my brain. I am excited to see what I can accomplish this year. How about you?

These are a few of the quotes I have saved on my desktop. I thought I would share them with you in lieu of all the other things I want to post here. Stay tuned. The ride is just beginning. Keep your arms and legs inside the life mobile and here we go!

This is a test. Only a test. Do not be alarmed. I am trying to post to the correct blog and not my yarn blog. I will let you know how it goes. Sometimes when I am working on line, I feel like a total neanderthal and can not go the way I want to travel. If only computers had been in use when I was a kid so very long ago! Much love, Lois

So this has been summer. There has been sun, lots of sun and heat, way more than I like. Time has flown by and I moved from one day to the next, from one project to the next; never forgetting to do over and over, the jewelry that customers love. I spent time thinking, drawing, making, knitting. I had awesome visits with old friends and quick rendezvous with new friends. Plants grew, a tree came down and a new one planted in its place. Always a dreamer, this little tree, like me, will grow into s strong, straight one giving so much to those who come to love it.

Crazy night! Trying to post and make sense of my blogs has not only pushed me to the very edge of irritation but now I realize I meant to go to bed at least an hour ago! Argh! How is a girl supposed to find her creative muse when she is over tired?

Anyhow, until i find my footing again, here is a sweet recent picture of the Marvelous Maia and Astonishing Abagail. My favorite girls. Sweet dreams.

I have been drawing a lot lately and my imagery has gotten looser and brighter. I am thinking I like things this way. These drawings slash paintings have recently been framed and I will post pictures of them soon.

This blog post is an experiment to see if I can get pictures to post from my IPad. If it works....wowza! I can stop making my webmaster crazy, stop being irritated with my husband and stop wanting to throw all technology out the damn window including iPads, phones and computers! Ha!

I'll be here this coming weekend with new jewelry designs and new little paintings and drawings. Please come by, see what I have been up to and say hello. You know this building is literally ON the beach downtown. Get a hotdog and Dogs-A-Foot across the street, have a little picnic in Pope Marine Park next door or on the Wave Viewing Gallery and look at fabulous art and fine craft works when you are all done lunch! Pop on over to Elevated Ice Cream next for a cone and wrap up your afternoon at the wonderful shops downtown and then onto a terrific dinner. See you soon. ( You're welcome, by the way, I love planning someone else's day! )
