From June: If you purchased a kit or pattern of Regal Square Stitch bracelet at Stafford last weekend, please e-mail me at june@tapestrybeads. The color graph is correct, but the word chart is incorrect.
Off to the races!
Today was the saddest excuse for a quick exit that I’ve ever participated in. I had, at one time, hoped to be on the road to Houston for this weekend’s Stafford Bead Market by noon. Whereupon I’d set up my booth leisurely Friday afternoon, and then spend a relaxing night at the hotel before the show opens on Saturday.… Read More
No…really?
So I’m sound asleep Tuesday morning, like usual. Okay, maybe it was late Tuesday morning, but whatever. It’s not like you’re surprised by that, right? And all of a sudden I hear the doorbell ring. And without a moment’s hesitation, decide to ignore it.… Read More
Friday’s Random Bits…a little late
When the heck did Friday sneak up? Doggone it all, I hate it when I lose track of the days.
- I leave a week from today for a show in Houston and then leave straight for Milwaukee from there and I can’t possibly get all I want to get accomplished in such a time frame.
Focus…focus…
…and finish something, darn it! Anything!
I’m the world’s worst project finisher. Today, for example, I worked for a little while on a kumihimo sample for my Quick & Easy Kumihimo class proposal for 2010. Then I got bored. So I spent some time beading on a Hollywood Hula Hoop sample, since I got notification today that the 2mm Swarovski crystals I’ve been waiting for got shipped out – and now I will need the sample for the Bead & Button Show in a few weeks.… Read More
Money making idea
I had two classes here at the home studio today, and as usual, we had a rip-roaring good time. We’re going to be losing two of our regular gang of students to moves over the next few months, and they’re already lamenting the loss of getting to attend our classes.… Read More
You can vote for the next Bead Star!
Working on that Kumihimo necklace yesterday got me flexing some jewelry making muscles that have been long dormant. I’m feeling the itch. Perhaps I’ll work on a few pieces over the months to put in my back pocket until the next Bead Star competition comes around.… Read More
Friday’s Random Bits and a little more
Where did this week go? Well, parts of it went to:
- A/C repair, and then a nap under the blankets because by comparison to our sweltering weekend, the house felt chilly
- A class at the house Tuesday night which required whirling dervish cleaning techniques and last minute instruction writing
- A trip to San Marcos on Wednesday, 30 min.
Help is on the way
Oh, thank goodness! Mr. Air Conditioning Repair Dude is on the way. I won’t have to suffer much longer.
And why is it we often make things so much harder than they have to be? I had an epiphany in the wee hours about how to make the new Encore bracelet much easier to make.… Read More
No A/C in Texas is NOT FUNNY
Oh, what a weekend it’s been at Casa Tapestry Beads. Oh, the misery. Around mid-day Saturday, I mentioned to Mom that we were already at the time of year where the air conditioning can’t keep up with the heat…but even as I said it out loud, it seemed wrong.… Read More
