Polka Dot Blue

I couldn't resist any longer. I had to make another bracelet to go with my jeans, you know, something blue. I found the perfect beads too--handmade polka-dot light blue and dark blue. The moment I saw them, I knew that they were supposed to be for my bracelet. I sure love it!

The polka-dotted beads are handmade out of glass (my pictures do not do them justice). I don't know how they do it, but I love the uniqueness of them and I wish I could learn to make my own beads (idea coming up in my head!). I was visiting this evening with a friend and I had to admit to her that I made another bracelet, it appears that although I am not knitting/loom knitting right now, my mind still wants to design/create something. I am glad I found the watch bracelets as an outlet for the creativity bug.

Sunday Outings

I love taking the kiddos out on Sunday afternoons to the local "fun" areas so they can release some energy. It has been awhile since I've taken my camera along and decided to take it along to see what I could get.

All the pictures were taken at the 1st Dam in Logan, UT. It is at the mouth of the Logan Canyon and the views are quite nice. The dam is home to many ducklings and my children love seeing them and unfortunately they love to scare them too.
