Last weekend (after a week's trip from San Francisco to San Diego) was a wonderful beading experience. A three day workshop in San Diego at Marica deCoster's beautiful home. Teacher: NanC Meinhardt. What a great lady. We talked about art, being an artist and everything around that theme. Met new friends and started my art stick project. Last day was Marcia's birthday: 10-10-10. We all made a bead and Leslie strung them all to one piece for Marcia.



We returned with the red eye flight. Killing.

Rini was here!

Rini arrived last Friday night. Although it was late and the jetlag already hit, we sat down for a drink to celebrate Rini officially is professor at the Technical University of Delft (Software Engineering).
Hiep Hiep Hoera.
Saturday night we went to see 'the Scissor Sisters" in Buckhead theater. What a happening! What a noise! And all those happy guys, cherubs, beards, latex pants and so on and so on. But first we went for BBQ ribs to the nearby One Star Ranch and enjoyed watching all the people in line for the concert.

What are they wearing? Really?

We didn't know that general admission means no seating! Luckily enough Jo and I (wearing high heels) found seats on the balcony. Downstairs was too busy anyways.

The boys had fun walking around and watching the crowd.

Blue Funky Bracelet

Already days ago , I made some components in a bright blue color. Not yet knowing what to do with them. Well inspiration struck and here it is:

The finished piece

We ordered a table top photo studio so we are not dependent on daylight for a good picture of my beaded jewelry. It arrived but we didn't set it up yet. It's quiet complicated! So hereby an iPhone picture of the pearl Sherry Serafini necklace I finished last week.

Yoga

After a day of beading, I went to my first Hot Core Yoga class. Hot it was. The class is held in an 85F heated (and smelly) room. To be short: now it feels good. It's 2 hours later. I showered, ate and feel very relaxed. Let's see how many muscles will ache tomorrow.
I finished my latest beadwork: a Sherry Serafini design with loads of pearls. So beautiful. I wish I designed it. Photo will follow. Happy Wednesday night!

Top Flr

A new discovery right in our neighborhood: funky bistro Top-Flr across from Southern icon Mary Mac. Starting with delicious cocktails 'Yellow Roses' and 'Red Sands' this is going to be good.


and with lovely company it's the best.
