Ok, first of all I know some of you don't like FMG but until I become independantly wealthy, it's who I deal with (and since they're only about
200 miles south of me, delivery's quick) Just got their new add-on catalog yesterday and they have 130 new colors of the japanese seeds I like so much. Wah. Can't get them right now but man, do I want! Pretty sparkly colors. As usual, there's a lot of junk in there (who wear's all that rhinestone jewelry anyways?) but I mainly order the seeds from them. And the prices I can deal with. Now, if I can just the the cc's paid off, I'll be a happy camper! Don't think I'll be getting the 24k gold plated or the nickel plated though. Couldn't justify the expense even though they'd add a nice touch of WOW. Just wanted to share and whine a little about my economic woes (poor, poor me)Did I ever tell you I got the loooong bugles from shipwreck beads? Beautiful! Now, why is it I keep picturing those lovely victorian beaded lampshades? I honestly think I don't have enough beads for that unless I just mixed them ALL up and did some weird abstract design.
And, I've lost my marbles! Had some beads set out to make some covered marble earrings and my lovely chillun's took them. And I can't figure out which one it was. I might find them if I get really lucky! Or at least clean their rooms (yuck!!!!!) Got lots of things to make but no time to do it in. A friend came over so as soon as she's able to get some sleep (in this house, yah, right) Need to make a green bay packer lighter (x-mas order so I have time)(and hoping I have enough dark green. 30 shades of green and only ONE dark green, go figure), red, white and blue hearts, want to make at least ONE ornament cover (bead and button but I'll probably modify it) AND I need to fill my earring book. There's more (isn't there always?) but that should keep my busy for a while.
You all take care and all that. Vibes to whoever needs them!
Later,
