Blue beads
I've had some blue beads In my stash driving me silly. Some were reclaimed from my Girls old broken earrings and bangles... I really want a long necklace
I tried treading them....Nah looked like Nana
I tried to crochet them on blue wire....Nice but too stiff, sat funny
I found some beautiful Blue Silk thread slipped them on and crocheted, now they drape, look cute and remind me of a day at the beach....
Not sure how durable the silk thread is...but they feel fantastic.
Now I'm off to rake hay life getting in the way of art again

A New Year
Wow 2011...a new year, a new decade
Never really tried a new years resolution, maybe a to do list would be better....
Nat http://smallestforest.net/ listed 15 things last year, which she has just reviewed...OK so she didn't get them all completed but I like Her Theory.
Her Other interesting post was about 'The Stash' https://hell2breakfast.wordpress.com/
I seem to have a huge range of craft 'stuff' which is great living out of town, I can rummage about and come up with things. But I think I do need to commit to finishing some things in this new decade, Or maybe I need to move on ... my craft/sewing has always been for gifts, for us, to wear, reasonably practical. Perhaps I need to make things to sell.... who would buy it ??? I Have an idea selling would be more difficult. perhaps I get a job packing shelves at Coles and just keep making what I like......
Each month ( baby steps) I will commit to finishing something OR/ using something from my stash, When I'm finished it, then and only then can I start a new project....
Commitment 1.. January I will Finish Last years 'stitch and giggle' pass it on piece.
happy new year everyone
