1000 beads!
No. Wait. 1000 miles AND beads.
My new car got to 1000 miles today. In the parking lot of the Craft Warehouse.
At the craft warehouse I discovered that I am the Queen of Rationalization at the craft store. I went to find beading wire. Smaller than the wire that I have because the freshwater pearl beads I bought don't work well on the size I had. So I got smaller wire. And more beads and a pair of pliers. Special pliers. They're for crimping crimp beads. It took me no time at all to decide that I don't need them. I can close crimp beads just fine with my needle-nose pliers. But then... I did just pick up smaller thinner wire that would hold better if the crimp beads were done better than I could do them. So I got the pliers. They collapse the beads around the wire and fold them in half. It's actually really entertaining. So then I had to look through the beads. And picked up more beads. They're pretty, purple and green and some cute round iridescent black ones.
I need more bead storage. I think I may be getting obsessed. It really doesn't help that I have a perfect excuse to make pretty beaded things. I've got like 5 interchangeable things for my id bracelet. And a few more in pieces to make. And even more ideas. This is bad. But it's fun
I may have to get around to taking pictures. I'm very amused.
