Monday Musings: talents
Wow! January flew by. I’m glad though. January is usually a stressful month. Goal-wise things went very well. Stretching and karate are becoming good habits. Budgeting is… well I’m working on it and getting better. Yearbook is the same. I’m still trying to come up with a good focus topic for the year (dunno why [...]

Tangled Tuesday: in progress
This being our first week back to school and karate, I haven’t had as much time to draw. But I managed to find enough to get this far on Diva’s 101st challenge. Some of it is based on an earlier tangle I did. Hoping I can get done by Saturday. Gonna try to carve out [...]

Monday Musings: Week 1 results & Week 2 goals

Now health can apply to everything! Mental. Physical. Fiscal. So as long as I’m accomplishing tasks that support that, I [...]

Finished Object Friday
Had another try at making a kaleidoscope cane and here are the results! A pair of pillow bead earrings for my mom. The half-cane slice on the left is the end of the cane half. I’m fairly pleased with this cane. Now, I just wish the result was bigger. I love the size of that [...]

Monday Musings
Karate: learned (in the process of teaching) a new take on a very dull bo kata. Bo ichi. Its a preparatory kata. Not even considered “real” and so usually not enjoyed. But one of our sensei showed me (and the kids I was teaching) the trick of immediately “chambering” after each move. What you end [...]
