12 step program
I have decided after adding up my bead and beading findings purchases that I might need to join an addiction group. At least I am still buying. I have two bids on eBay. I really know realize what a great buy my first purchases where from one seller. Now another "so you don't make the same mistake" make sure that there are enough beads to use in a project. I am finding more and more people use eBay to get rid of small lots that no matter how great the bead is if there isn't enough to make something, it isn't a good buy. Now you could use for earrings. I have not ventured into that area yet. Still blown away with even small projects need more beads than you think. Than again I might like a bit splashy.
I have been ripping apart my last project. The spine bead was just too big to make enough of a spiral to feel full enough. In fact I have been "unbeading" today and organizing my beads. Good thing to do on a dark rainy day.
Today's rant is why do they think a threader is going to help when you can't see the hole to put the threader in? I did find some needles it would work for but on a whole I was frustrated. I think in my old sewing supplies I might have a better quality threader than the one that came with this set of needles. I am doing my best to shore up the economy. If there is a good sale buy when it is hot. Full price beads seem so high. Todays learning will be working on doing a better job ending and starting a new thread. Translation I lost a loop due to a poor tread start. So happy when the whole bracelet didn't unravel. Until I really test of the strength and clean up my skill I would never think of selling. I do at some point need to sell since I have spent more on beads than a simple hobby should require.
Hope were ever you are the weather is not causing too much trouble. Cheers
Oh and so far I got one group of beads and think I will be out bid on the other but once I adding in shipping they were not a good buy. Well, I am sure I will get them now. Good I have been outbid.... See sometimes you do the right thing in spite of yourself.
