Aerial Yoga

I went to Charleston a couple of weeks ago to try out Aerial Yoga. It was FABULOUS! The place we tried it was more yoga, less acrobatics, but super fun. I'm wondering if there's another place relatively close by that would have more flips/spins/vomitinducing moves that I could try. But Jordan (our instructor) was great, and very detailed at moving us through each pose. I've found a manual to study the moves, but can't wait to be able to try them out on an actual hammock.

Off to the studio to work on the latest commission. Have a great Sunday everybody!

Junk in my Trunk.


I attended an event last night - it wasn't the most lucrative event ever. (but the band was good!) I took my scarves, and sold a few. But nothing like I am used to seeing this close to the holidays... I wonder if it's still the economy killing the art world. Or maybe it's my pricing. Or maybe it's my scarves. Who knows - maybe it's all of them? Whichever it is, I had fun visiting with friends and hanging out at the Arty Party at the Jepson afterwards. The after party was WAY past my bedtime (10pm-12pm) but I managed to stay awake and have a good time. Saw Ty Pennington there. They are doing an Extreme Home Makeover in the area. His entourage was in the way of me getting to the Doritos bin, so I was a little annoyed. I think it's great that we have stars in Savannah on a fairly regular basis, but I wish people would not torment them (and block the food in the process...)

It's another gorgeous day in Savannah - I have 3 new paintings I want to start working on, and can't decide which one to start with. So I think I'll start all three! Mark is working all weekend, so there's no reason I can't hole up in my back yard and get busy. Gotta go soak up some sunshine before it goes back into hibernation. Have a great day everybody!

Update a.k.a. Rachel is making me look bad.

I keep reading all of Rachel and Kacey's updates and realized, yet again, I've been slacking on the blog. So here goes.

A couple of weeks ago Mark and I went to Tsali - a park in North Carolina. We had finally scoured the general area (3 states!) for a pop-up camper and found an EXCELLENT deal 2 weeks before. Mark had never been riding in Tsali ( a big mountain biking area) and I always love to tag along wherever for any random adventure.
The leaves were right smack in the middle of changing, so it was gorgeous. It was also FREEZING at night. We thought we would have power for the camper since we were staying in a park. Turns out they have everything except electricity...
(My camp version of brick oven pizza)

The following week we went to Pisgah - another park in North Carolina. But we knew it would be cold and primitive, so I packed more bedding! AND on top of it, Mr. Prince discovered that we could, in fact, run the heater off of the camper's battery, so we were warm and toasty while most people were Popsicles each morning. Were we really camping, you ask? With A/C, heat, stove, fridge... Yes. Yes we were. If I have to hike off for a potty break or skip a shower for 3 days - Yes. I am camping. And it was fabulous! I hiked off on my own during each trip. Waterfalls are everywhere in the area, so there's always something just around each bend in the trail.


I think I'll save the other updates for the next post. ;) See you soon, I promise.
