Beading frenzy

[yuenoclow]

And here I thought beading like crazy to get all my Christmas presents done would make me back off from beading a bit. Nope! Not a hope of that. I just spent over $100 at the bead shop the other day. *head-desk* So much for the money Aunt Babs gave me for Christmas! Most of it was spent on beads, of course, but I did buy a book called "The Beader's Bible". I think I'm in love, frankly. It has *so* many patterns! Sadly, I don't have enough colors for most of the projects (wah), but I've started a lovely black and gold celtic knot pattern. My first project on my bead loom! I'm so happy! It's turning out nicely, too. I really need to find a place to buy my beads wholesale, though. I cost me $8 just for a thin tube of silver delicas (the type of beads I prefer to work with). $8! There's no way I could sell my work without either gouging my customers, or selling at a loss with prices that ridiculous. *sigh*
