Happy Tuesday. I’m headed back to work today after FIVE days off. Five days in which every plan I had fell apart due to weather, apathy, and a myriad of other things. So I spent most of my five days here at home. After this much time away from people I fully expect to be crouched under my desk an hour from now, hissing at people while I slorp my yogurt.
So while I wait for my Proactiv mask to finish it’s work I wanted to show you the beady creations I made. (click on each pic to see it larger)
- Concentric
- Helvetica
- Wire wrapped bangle
The first one (named “Concentric” for obvious reasons) arrived because I saw 2 strands of beads in Michaels last week - gray “Os” and black round flat beads. I thought “ME PUT ONE BEAD INSIDE OTHER AND MAKE PRETTY THING!” So I did.
The second one I’m pretty meh about. I wanted to see how to get three strands situated inside those cone endings. I crimped three strands around one loop and pulled them into the cone. It’s plain but functional, so I named it after the movie I was watching at the time, Helvetica. (LOVED the movie, by the way - my favorite line was by the aging hippie who blamed Helvetica for the Vietnam and Iraq wars.)
And the third one came because I saw a post on Craftster and thought “ME WRAP WIRE AROUND BEADS AND MAKE PRETTY THING!” So I did.

In diet news, I’m the SAME WEIGHT I was when I left work last Wednesday, which makes me so happy!
And the WeatherPixie is going away after all these years…the site’s been down for weeks and although I was patient I’m tired of the blank spot in my sidebar. RIP, WeatherPixie
And that’s all. I’m going to go and crack the cement off of my face. Enjoy your day!

Awesome job on keeping the weight the same. That’s no easy feat. In fact it’s half the battle, so congrats!
Me? I’m sunk. The Fair starts tomorrow. Keep me in your prayers
