Who else got up at 5:30 this morning?
Chain "Bling Rings" - I made these the other day...a combo of a 'woven ring' kit from Kriss Silva I bought at B&B, and the top is full of crystal bling from a ring I bought from Wendy Witchner at B&B...One is full of crystals, the other is mixed with some pearls that will match my new Shag Carpet bracelet, if I ever complete it...
(sorry for the creepy hand shot, you know I hate those!)...
Viking Knitting Update: Anne Mitchell (who taught VK at B&B this year) has put up a kit or just instructions (only $10!) on her website...if you like chainmaille, you need to see her kits...Thanks to Kate McK for posting this on her site first...Love the internet...
Besides my buddy Jill who told me last night in class that she got up Sunday at 5:30 to watch the Tour and knew that I'd be the only other crazy person to get at that time too...ha...and she was right!
My Tour Bud Cindy, who's been following the tour as long or longer than me (she lived in Italy and watched it on Italian tv over there, a bit difficult to follow, but she said she understood what she needed to) came over at 8:30 with bagels and Chantico chocolate from Starbucks (have you had that stuff yet? its like a bag of chocolate chips in a tiny cup - decadence at its best)...We talked the whole time, but we watched Vino take the win, but didn't do any damage to Lance...
then we spent more time going over all the B&B stuff I bought and classe stuff I brought home with me...met the dog, who was super to her...Lady is really a good kid...she still thinks gnawing on ankles is ok, gotta work on that one...
I made some neat 'bling' rings yesterday, and worked on some other behind the scene stuff, so didn't get any beads made today, but that's on the agenda next...Look for some new stuff tomorrow in the shape of ROUND, which as we all know IS a funny shape...(Raising Arizona fans - unite)...
Pics of the rings in a minute...I just kicked a cinder block with my little toe and its bleeding all nice, and I think I cracked the toenail in half, so I must tend to it first...such a mess I make...

Nothing worse than a cinder block toe injury! Girl, are you sure you didn't break that toe?? Major OUCH! Hope its feeling better soon! That Chantico is a chocoholics dream!! Extreme decadence to be sure and soooo good! In fact you might need an extra to help out that toe . . . .
