The Wednesday Beading Report
isn’t really much of a report at all. Basically, all I have to say about beading is that all my supplies are at Mama’s, and I haven’t really touched them since the last craft fair. Oops. Christmas came up hard and fast, and I was...
A Crafty Kind of Christmas
Someone certainly knows how to make my eyes light up, huh? Mama bought these things for me, and Daddy got me clothes and shoes. I was thrilled with all of it! Happier than commercial collection agencies after the stock bailout. More excited than ...
Wilderness Barbie takes a hike
That would be me. I know some of you are holding your guffawing sides, reckoning that I would never be more than 23 feet from electircal lighting, kitchen faucets and central heating and air, but you are wrong. I did actually take my plump little sel...
Never say Never, aka Don’t you Need Some Stitch Markers?
ok, so a week or two ago, I had decided that I was never going to let jewelry for sale slide across this front page again. In fact, I was planning to move everything not yarn related over to etsy, and just talk about the craft of beading in general....
A little hiatus project
When I had my meetup this past weekend, TripletMom showed me her stitch markers. have you ever just looked at something and said, “oh, duh!”? I know you have, and that is exactly what I did. Because, folks, it never occurred to me to ma...
Wednesday Beading Report 11/5/2008
Image by cassdarrow via Flickr I suppose that this week’s report will be about the craft show, huh? I’ve mentioned that it did not go well, and that is an understatement. I sold two pieces, and Mama sold one. It was very disappointi...
The Wednesday Beading Report 10/29/2008
So, I have hinted that I have been doing more than a spot of beading, right? And that I have a craft show on Saturday? Well, here’s a wee collage I made with Picasa2. Click to embiggen. Of course, you can’t see it all, but there are *g...
The Wednesday Beading Report 10/22/08
Image via Wikipedia Man, do I have a lot of stuff to tell you about this week! And let me begin with the most important thing: my camera is at Mama’s. Yay me, and woohoo, right? Well, actually, that’s not an entirely bad thing, be...
When will it end?
Holy Cow! I am STILL sick. When will this crud end? It feels like I have been sick forever and three days already. Nonetheless, I cannot devote any more of my life to this whatever-it-is, and it’s time to bust a move. Not that I have been ...
And yet I live
Sorta. My head is pounding and I talk like Sam Elliot, when I can talk at all, but I’m here. Today, I have grand plans: clear my desk and do a bit of writing, then go bead. In fact, I have been beading for the past two days. Mama has [......
So, how was your weekend?
Mine was mighty fine! Dh got up and got some of the children ready to go to the ball field on Saturday morning. They were still in the driveway at 7:30 when the phone rang, and it was one of the board members letting me know all the games were canc...
The Wednesday Beading Report for October 8, 2008
Well, I almost didn’t post this. I got a chance to go bead instead of just writing about it, and so I did. And I made some cool stuff. But I don’t have pictures of it all. I decided though, that I could show you what I did have pictur...
Blue and Purple and Amber Necklace
It’s Wednesday, so it must be time to talk about beads, right? Not long after I posted last week, the power went out for a bit. You saw some of what I did in the picture of the domino game. Umm, it doesn’t take very long to play domino...
Wednesday Bead Report 9/24/2008
So, here we are with another Wednesday Bead report. I really had not intended to create a regular weekly segment the first time I typed that title, but I had great feedback on it, and it does keep me from talking about beading every day, so I guess ...
Bead Buyer’s Bonanza
Yes, I knew you were all wondering how long it would take me to start with the beads again. FTR, I’ve been back home since 7pm Monday night, so roughly 93 hours. I did bead on Wednesday night at Mama’s, but I didn’t finish the pie...
The Wednesday Beading Report
I’ve spent quite a bit of time between last Wednesday and today trying to decide how I want to go about stocking stuff in the store, and trying to balance my desire to share my craftiness with you, and the weird way I feel when I go on and on a...
Travel Knitting
It’s time to decide what to take on my trip. I am thinking socks and I think I will use the “parrot” in my knitting basket. Surely I can get a pair of footies knit in two flights and two days of conferencing, right? That leaves me...
Prettiful Celestial Blue Beads
ok, remember I showed you some eye candy? I told you I would tell you more about it once I finished the set, and I have, so I will. This is part of a custom order I am working on. This was a fun set to make, especially since I was able to work [.....
Reckon I’ll knit
So, I was thinking yesterday: when was the last time I talked about knitting on my knitting blog? It’ been awhile, hasn’t it? I’ve talked about plenty of crafty stuff, but the knitting has taken a backseat lately. I plan to rect...
Some beading up in here, ya’ll
So yesterday, I hurried through my work, because I wanted to spend some quality time with my beads. But after I showed you all that new stuff, i actually worked with these: I ended up making a three strand necklace and a 2 strand bracelet. The bra...
