Back to Beadin'

Oh how I love to knit.  It seems like it's all I've been doing lately.  It's a really good thing but...it's time to get back to beadin'.  My mom commented on a locket I made and it got me to remembering just how cool those little babies are.  After I got back from a wonderful bus trip to the library and a walk through downtown Bellingham with Sawyer this afternoon, (okay and a stop at the yarn store...but all I bought was one ball of yarn for Sawyer's new alien hat) I immediately began rummaging through my enourmous stash of cabachons, stones, crystals and seed beads.  I found soooo many beautiful "locket lids" just waiting to be beaded around.  It's time to turn on some good music, brew a fresh cup of Mate, and get back to beadin'.

Oh yeah...I almost forgot with all the beady excitement whirling around in my head that I finished two super lovely hats last night.  I stayed up until about 2 in the morning finishing up.  They are a custom order. One for a child and one for an adult.  I designed both and was very pleased at how they turned out.  I love it when a plan comes together...or I guess I should say a pattern.
