Practice...practice...practice..
Oh yeah, Happy Mardi Gras!
Its the best way to make beads...keep at it...keep trying new things...keep doing the right things over and over till its second nature...Last night I was trying to bring an idea to life, but my attempts weren't what I was looking for...Ironically, in the light of this morning, they don't look as bad as I thought last night...I'll keep working at them till I get exactly what I want tho...Lets hope it doesn't take TOO long, but I expect to have some more failure before I hit on what I want...
As much as I enjoyed '24' last season, this year has bored me...Too much running around, too much family issues, too much boring weasels around a boring president...blah...I hope next week is more interesting with the old Prez coming back (for only a few eps from what I've heard), but I don't know that I'll be watching...I think I'll leave this season to do whatever its gonna do without me...
HGTV has stopped running its craft shows, so now I have nothing to watch while upstairs on the computer...and the shows that DIY runs contain quilting and scrapbooking that I don't watch much of...SO, my tv watching has been cut down quite a bit...and filled with doing my OWN crafts..yesterday I made my own lip balm! Yeehaw...it was fun and messy and I am looking for good recipes...the first one I made was lemon, and its a pretty color, but too waxy for my taste...so I added more olive and avocado oil and the next batchs are smoother...the essential oils don't taste like anything to me..maybe its my lack of smell, I dunno, but the lemon doesn't taste like lemon, the spearmint, nope...sigh...its all new to me, tho so I'll keep at it...and I'm sure you might see a few of them available here for very reasonable prices...very reasonable...
Anissa reminded me what its like to be low tech...what I want to know is, what happens when I drop the book and all the words fall out?
I'm also working on some new knitting projects as well as working on a new pair of clogs...lots of plates spinning, and its rather nice...that's what happens when you don't watch so much tv!
I've slept funny on my right arm and now my fingers are twitching from a pinched nerve...its kinda amusing, but I can't hold a glass of milk for long...I'm sure it'll settle after awhile...
I guess that's my update for now...I do have some new beads and am working on more, so I'll have some things to offer later this week...yeehaw...80 today..its already HUMID outside...ugh...I guess it could be worse...
