Two recent things

School is keeping me busy again (blah!). Here's two things that I've been working on lately:

This is my little mermaidish (colorwise) bracelet, that is obviously incomplete. I plan on finishing the clasp and then adding more textures to the base. This is what I had spent a lot of my beading time on during my Spring Break, haha.

Now this next bit is just my messing around with some bead embroidery. No clue what it'll exactly turn out ot be...lol. (Though in the picture and colors aren't all that clear)

Once again, I cannot wait until this semester is over!

.

I finally received my beads on Tuesday (ha). Oh, but I love the beads so much! I noticed that since I received my order, artbeads has changed their prices on some Swarovskis. There are several that I ordered that have had the price go up from 1 cent to over 14 cents, and another type, the price has fallen by 6 cents...Oh well, but what bums me is that the ones I really want to order now are out of stock. At this rate, I might be able to receive them by summer, lol.

Violet/blue/green Iris Delicas are my new love in the seed bead world! I find them to be extremely pretty.

I cannot wait until this semester is over!

Slow mail

Is it just me or is the postal service (still) extremely slow? I'm starting to wonder if my latest beads I've ordered were intercepted before arriving to me because I still have yet to receive them (and I would have received them this past Wednesday or Thursday under "normal" circumstances). I guess I'm just being extremely impatient.

This week I've been on Spring Break...I don't want to go back to classes. My mom started chemo on Wednesday and that was a long day spent at the hospital. At least I had some sort of bead work to take with me to work on (instead of studying for a test on Monday, even though I lugged the book around with me all day). :)
But since then, I've been running little errands for my mom.

I'm sad that I missed out of the Taylor Hicks concert Thursday night...that would've been fun. Oh well, some other time...

Bracelet

Well it's about time that I posted. It's also about time that I finished this here bracelet.



Things have been a little hectic lately so I'm slowly coming along. Though it is extremely nice to finally finish this peyote stitch bracelet. Weee!

Now, time to tackle my next project!
