All set for the weekend :-)

Hi group,

It's a long weekend where I live, and I'm looking forward to it. 4:30 cannot come fast enough (and it's only 9am!).

I'm pretty excited because I have a bunch of new materials. I was so busy working on my research paper that I didn't have time to bead at all last weekend. My order from The Beading Room

came and now I can finally start on something with all the sterling silver findings I bought as well as beads. A couple of weekends ago I also took back my unopened packages of Blue Moon Beads to Michaels (yay!). My first lampwork purchase from JustBeads arrived on Monday. They're so pretty! They're black and white, but the black looks like a deep purple instead. Here's the goofy thing - those beads cost just a little more than the Blue Moon beads and they feel so much nicer. I also bought both SoftFlex and Beadalon

  1. I really like SoftFlex better, I think. So far anyway :-)

The thing I'm going to complete this weekend is a green multi-strand necklace. BTW, I know I owe people some emails, so I'll try to get caught up on that this weekend too. I only have three more art classes to go; my final is on August 15th.

Best, Christine

I certainly will Su. I have a bunch of things to photograph, so hopefully I'll get around to that as well :-) I sorted all the green beads last night, I think I might need to buy more.

Best, Christine

Thanks Dr. Sooz :-) So true...I spend all week going to school and working, and all I would really like to do is bead away. I spend most of my time at the computer (because of work) and it's so wonderfully selfish to just string beads. Indulge indeed. I hope you have a good weekend too!

Best, Christine

You mention the price thing. I'm so used to getting things on line or from catalogues in bulk that I really have to go to a bead store and look to know what current bead prices are. But you're absolutely correct. For the price of a few beads of lesser quality in a bead store or from a place like Michael's, you can get real artisan beads on eBay or JustBeads. I especially like JustBeads because they are not so overwhelming.
