Falling down and catching up.

Obviously, I didn't make my once a week posting plan, but I solemnly promise to do better. As I realize, more and more, that I'm actually going to try making a go of this beadwork thing, I'm trying to ramp up my time and attention. It's a lot of hard work, especially balancing other things.

I am already a proud member of the Sacto Metro and Sac Etsy teams on Etsy, but I'm thrilled to announce that I'm now a member of the Etsy Beadweavers Team too. I have been watching this group for a while and I'm so happy to finally make it in! You can find them here: http://etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com

I finished my beaded box and will post pictures (hopefully later today). Just putting on some last touches. And I'm back at work on creating new pieces. I will be attending a fair on Labor Day in Diamond Springs, CA, so I need to have more stock than I currently have completed. I could use about four more arms and another ten hours per day, but, this is the way it goes, and I'm loving it.

Look for more updates in the next couple of days!

ETA: As promised, here's the first of my beaded boxes, from a pattern in Julia Pretl's Little Bead Boxes.
