B is for beader
Most of my bead work is jewelry I design.
It's especially fun to take cheap watches and replace their bands with beaded ones. My first watch face promptly broke—so much for frugality!—and the bands were not removable. To remedy this, I now make each band from two sections: one with a few rows beaded to the face and the other with the remaining length. I still use cheap watches because beads can be recycled!
B is also for biker babe.
At age 19, I bought a Honda 175 dirt bike. Riding trails really taught me how to ride. There's rocks and tree stumps to get around and mud and water crossings to get through. I fell down a lot, which is not something one wants to do on the highway!
But, I always wanted a Harley. Always. After apprenticing with dirt bikes, I graduated to a HOG. Yippee!!!!
Because I am a writer who is also a biker, a couple of weeks ago I was asked to write a magazine article about a biker babe from Florida. What fun I'm having with that!!! (May 2011 update: The article about quilter/biker/belly dancer Suzann Semonovick, aka Grannie Suzannie, is in the June 2011 issue of The Quilt Life magazine.)
It's awesome!
