Beading for My Trip
I'm leaving on a business trip tomorrow morning -- flying from one side of the continent to the other for a conference.
I spent most of this evening snuggling Wolfling and stringing and restringing beads with two different pendants. The beads were not cooperating. The first piece I finished looked pretty but didn't have the heft I needed. The second one just wouldn't come together with the big, dramatic end piece.
Finally, since the strand was intended to a link to LM, I finally relaxed and invited him to help. Got something lovely and hefty and right in less than 15 minutes. It wasn't that he took over moving my hands or whispered clearly in my ear, but I eased back a bit and let his energy share my fingers.
I have no idea if the final effort would be attractive to anyone else, but it feels right for us, at this time. It's something I'll feel good having in my pocket over the next few days.
Guess I'd better start thinking about what I'm going to wear now. . .
And if anyone wants to offer prayers for my safe journeying Tuesday and Friday, I'd be most appreciative!
