Rock and Roll Week

I feel like time is going by too quickly. The past few months have flown by! It seems like it was September 1st just a few days ago. In my head, I am totally wishing for a fun weekend in New York! James and I have already started talking about a little road trip during the Christmas break. It worked out so well last year to take a vacation at that time. We have always talked about taking a road trip together through the Southwest. We have some friends who are also going to be out that way at the same time so it would be fun to spend a few days with them. We could see Monument Valley, go to Vegas, visit my sister in Colorado, see Hoover Dam. Also, I think there is a tepee hotel somewhere in that direction and I am dying to stay in one of those! It's official. I've got vacation fever.


This past 7 days have been rock and roll week for me. Last Saturday night we went out for Apocalypse Karaoke. You can sign up to sing a rock and roll song in front of a live band. My friend Adam Tyner plays drums in the band (the band's official name is the Dead Motley Sex Maidens). They sound really good and they have 91 songs you can choose from. Pretty impressive. James signed up to sing a Cheap Trick song, Surrender, but unfortunately they didn't get to him before closing time. Maybe next time! On Wednesday night we went out to see Bishop Allen at Club de Ville. It was a nice little show. I had listened to their latest cd loudly over and over again recently on a solo three hour drive to my parents house so I was pretty excited to see them in person. I love their music and they were great live! Needless to say all this going out has left me pretty worn out this week. Late nights are hard on old people. Heh. Honestly though, it made me feel young.

In the studio this week I have been making new earrings. My earrings page needs some fresh blood! I have to say I am pretty excited about what's coming. All my shows are set for November and December. I will be doing Stitch, Spree (in Dallas), Cherrywood Art Fair and Blue Genie Art Bazaar - all great shows that I am honored to be a part of! While I was making new earrings this week, Julie, my amazingly awesome assistant, took the pictures of new necklaces and got them up on the website. Omg, she totally rocks. Didn't she do a great job??


Oh yeah, we also spent some time in our backyard last Sunday. It was a lovely breezy day and I didn't work at all, not one little thought of jewelry business the whole day. It was divine. I am going to take this coming Sunday off too. Count on it.

I posted some pictures on flickr!
