Bracelet project has to wait
Sleepy… even if I’ve just finished a mug of coffee. Perhaps I have to wait a while before the caffeine starts to kick in. 
I have to stay awake for the rest of the day, not because I want to spend time on my beading projects, but because I have writing assignments to work on! 
Yeah, busy weeks for me again.
I have recevied my order for a new batch of colorful Swarovski 4 mm bicone crystals and pearls. I purposely ordered some colors in larger quantities because I have a couple of bracelet projects in mind. One of them is actually a necklace project showcased in a beading magazine, but I decide to use its design to make a bracelet instead - save on materials, haha! The bracelet will be made of round and bicone crystals plus seed beads.
The bracelet project requires 2 or 3 8 mm round crsytals (depending on my mood, haha!) and more than 10 6 mm round crystals. I found that round crystals are expensive compared to 4 mm bicone crystals. So again, I decide to do things my way - instead of using 6 mm Swarovski round crystals, I will be using 6 mm round glass beads. 
Well, if the bracelet turns out to be nice, then I will consider making one using all Swarovski round crsytals.
For the time being, I have to get back to my writing assignments. Bracelet project has to wait. Hmmmm….
