Designing Jewels: March 2013
http://designingjewels.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 26, 2013. If at First you don't succeed TRY TRY AGAIN! I know I have been MIA lately - and sorry for the lapse. Good news is I completed my 30 day yoga challenge I discussed here. Bad news is I didn't do so good with my blogging challenge. I may have taken on too much, and 30 days, 30 blog posts is a bit much. I think I need to lower my goal to at least once a week! BUT more good news is I have been working on a bunch of new projects - so I have lots to blog about in the upcoming weeks!

Friday, May 13, 2011. Southern Spain Design Discovered. I recently took a European trip that included an extended stay in Southern Spain.

View from the center of town in Ronda. View from a side street in Roda.
