Blog is now here.

I have decided to downsize a bit on the blog thing. I was publishing to three places and now I am taking it down to two - the OT blog and the MySpace blog. It will just make blogging a little less time consuming. I do the MySpace blog to keep up with my family. So, I hope everyone will follow me over to the new location above. And I hope my friends will keep commenting. I turned the comments on on the OT blog. I don't know why I never did that before. If I have your blog listed on the side bar, please let me know if it is alright to list it on the OT blog side bar. It is a little more public being that it is connected to my website so I don't want to put a link over there if anyone is uncomfortable with it. Okay, enough rambling out of me!

Kerbey Lane and Yard Work

My jewelry is on display at Kerbey Lane Cafe (the location on Kerbey Lane) in Austin for the entire month of June. For anyone who isn't from Austin, Kerbey Lane Cafe is an Austin mainstay. It's been here forever, it stays open 24 hours and has the best queso you've ever eaten! They saw my work at Blue Genie last December and invited me to exhibit and sell my work there. Yay!

My friend Sarah Eastep has just launched her latest line of jewelry on her updated website. Be sure to check it out! Maneki Collection. It's gorgeous! Sarah has a great eye for lovely little pieces.

We spent all day Sunday working in our backyard. We got one of those big tent things from Target that has the mosquito netting and built it in the middle. We moved our vinyl aqua couch and our hand-me-down lawn furniture into it. We also hung a light in it that I bought from a thrift store a while back. It is so nice!! We got one of those mister setups and tried it out but it was just too misty. It made everything wet so we took it out. We might try putting it on the back porch later on. We also planted more flowers, cleared more beds, mulched, transplanted some flowers and turned our compost pile. It was a tough day of work! You can see more of the results on my flickr page.
