German Shepherd goes kayaking.

I took Dakota out on my kayak for the first time today. She is 12 weeks old today. We both quickly realized we are going to need a bigger vessel very soon.

I need to bead!

Dakota at 9 weeks old.

It has been so long since I have done any bead work. I miss it. College keep me so busy. My patterns are still finding there way all over the world. I am still amazed by the power of the internet. Lately, many of my patterns have found there way all the way to Australia. That is amazing!

I guess I will have to isolate myself in the mountains with no internet service so that I can design some new patterns. I look forward to warmer weather and camping with my new puppy. She is such a great dog. I plan to teach her how to ride in my kayak. Hopefully, later today, she and I will go for a practice run. Wish us luck. She will probably weigh more than 80 lbs when full grown. She must learn how to not tip us over!
