    All in a night’s work…

    It is 2:13 am. I have been lying on my back for the past several hours. Not in bed, but in the grass. A night sky. A crystal clear night sky. The only unnatural light is coming from Cape Blanco Lighthouse, twenty-some miles to the south. And even then, it only blinks once every twenty seconds. The ocean’s wave crash onto the beach only one hundred yards away. They roll up with a consistent hum – no, a consistent dull roar. The roar is broken occasionally by the call of one lonely seagull to another. An onshore breeze rustles the tall grasses. I can smell the dying campfires mixing with…

    New Design: Bellydancer Queenie

    Queenie is a belly dance instructor in the Netherlands. She is beautiful, fun and elegant and we wanted that to reflect in her design. We added many plugins including English/ Dutch language switcher, a gallery slide show and a great schedule/ class sign-up form. I absolutely love how it turned out. If I am ever in the Netherlands, I am totally taking a class from her ๐Ÿ™‚

    New Design: Ovolina

    Ovolina means little mozzarella in Italian which is appropriate because Anita is Italian and has six children! Anita is originally from Rome Italy and has her own radio show. She is also a wonderfully sweet lady who was very easy to work with. I went with an old-world Italian feel for her site and incorporated her six little ones in the design. We are still working on uploading all of her work, magazine articles and videos, but thought I’d share the site with you all anyway ๐Ÿ™‚

    S.O.S.

    I had just left Jenโ€™s office and was on my way to wash our fuel efficient Prius (yes, in these days of four plus dollars a gallon for fuel, we are happy to say that we are averaging just over 50 mpg). I was south-bound on Cuyamaca, when I noticed (I use that word in the most understated sense) a large Chevy Silverado stalled in the left lane. Now this ainโ€™t your off-the-lot, normal pick-up truck. This was your double cab, long bed, 12โ€ lift kit, 38โ€ tires, gas-guzzling, he-man-woman-haters-club kind of truck. Of course, it was, at this point in time, being pushed, or at least attempting to be…
