Whew, today has already been a day. I woke up to the news that one of my step-paternal aunts died -- and good for her. She and her children made my life hell constantly reminding me that I 'wasn't family', which my siblings would follow suite with, and yeah. One of the many charming flavours of trauma I dealt with. At least the impact of the feels probably gives me a precursor to what I'm going to feel like when Voldemom finally kicks it.

We also found out that we can finally get fibre to the premises -- yay! We're all hard internet users in this house, so having a bit more bandwidth could only be good.

Right. Back to games-and-beads. *nodnods*

Currently working (sporadically) on this bead-woven bracelet that I started a while ago. It was put on the back burner when I began working on autumn and winter projects, but it's so pretty I couldn't help but dig it out of the WIP/UFO pile ๐Ÿ˜œ! Seriously, I don't toot my own horn often, but how cute is it?? Plus, all of the colors except the gold have an AB finish so there's a bit of an iridescent effect as well ๐Ÿคฉ. As someone who loves jewel tones, I'm totally biased but still lol ๐Ÿ˜‚. What do y'all think; is it colorful enough ๐Ÿ‘€?

Sidenote, this is the first time I've tried this type of pattern using all seed beads. In the past, it's always been primarily bicones or other fire-polished with smaller seed beads as the accents ๐Ÿ˜œ. Since I'm using smaller beads this time (11/0s and 15/0s), it's taking longer to work up, but it's definitely still worth it! That being said, I'm curious to see how one made using 8/0s and 11/0s would turn out ๐Ÿค”. So many projects, so little time lol...

My carpal tunnel degraded suddenly last year, so I had to give up #beadwork for a while, while, first, I figured out what was going on, and then got it fixed and ThEeNnN I had to wait to heal up and get my dexterity back. NOW I'm finally able to get back to bead-weaving.

I'm debuting with a #peyotestitch #catbus based on #SewDesuNe 's Catbus #plushie #stuffy #stuffedanimal

My latest happy mail arrival; mostly stocking up on delicas this time ๐Ÿ˜Š. Shoutout to Auntie's Beads for this order ๐Ÿฅฐ! And FYI for my fellow beaders, the prices weren't bad either ๐Ÿ˜œ. They seem to always have sales going on over there!

Bead soup; it's what's for lunch ๐Ÿ˜. Just kidding, please don't eat beads. The ER nurses will judge you ๐Ÿ™ƒ.

This is my current bowl of cull beads aka beads that aren't uniform. They can't be used for much, but eventually I'll be making them into a cute and quirky herringbone bracelet โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž.

So many neat things to buy, like these seed bead loom bracelets I made for some weird self-loathing reason (they're fun, but fiddly!). I've also tweaked the prices down a bit, so they're an even better deal right now.
