Seems to be an underwear month

By underwear, I mean basic stuff that isquite a bore to buy but so necessary to completing projects successfully.  This month it'll be needles and neutral coloured threads.


Now I need to add plain spacer beads for my beading projects.  I seem to have a little bit of flashy stuff but not enough to do anything with and I'm seriously deficient in the basics that make the feature shine.


Lesson two is about a centre focus necklace.  I have one option or I could get creative  and make a focal point but this is lesson two! lol






 This was the closest I came to having the prerequisite pendant. It isn't going to work irregardless of the camera's  colouring.


Jenn has a centre focus that came with her kit.  So she is good to go!


Pretty good and I must say that crimping is becoming old hat!

Into every life a little red must fall


Goodness, buying beads and bead supplies can put you onto the red very quickly.  LOL


 I dug through my previous acquisitions before we made our 'field trip' to Michael's in the big city.


We settled on Stringing Beaded Jewelry which I felt was the best beginner book. Clear, large pictures and quite a few options.  Then we threw our hands up in the air and went for a kit.  I just added some glue.  I had also surmised that with all my many pliers I was missing the much needed crimpers so we grabbed a pair of them.


Then we just played a bit when we got back.  As I keep saying, "we got options!".


                                                         I hope you have a red letter day!
