Beads and Wires

Just a quick update of what I’ve been doing after I fell sick and got better….

1. Did some bead bidding on eBay; couldn’t resist the nice colors of seed beads. ;P

2. Worked night and day to meet a writing project deadline. (Luckily I didn’t fall sick again!)

3. Phone line broke down, couldn’t access internet to do research for my writing project. So had to go to my mom’s place to access the internet.

4. Phone line still not fixed when I needed to submit my project via email, again, went to my mom’s house.

5. Phone line still not fixed, but it’s time to pay for the bids I won. So this time went to Starbucks to use its WiFi.

6. No project to work on, no internet to surf, finally got started with new beading projects, so I thought. Wanted to make a pair of Christmas tree earrings, but my Christmas tree looked awful! Abandoned the project

7. Tried to make some tube spacers out of seed beads using peyote stitch. I hate peyote stitch, can never get it right! My tube didn’t look like how it supposed to be like in the bead magazine. Abandoned this one too.

8. Finally, decided to make a ring, following the exact same steps as with this crystal ring, except that this time I used pearls in light green. At least, I got this one right and nice!

9. Found a local website that sells nice seed beads, including Matsuno beads and Czech glass beads! Jeez, I have to wait a while before I start shopping for beads again. Have spent quite an amount buying beads from eBay.

10. Tonight, I will get on a new bracelet project. Saw a simple pattern from a book while I was in a bookshop yesterday. So simple that I can remember how to do it.
