Bookworm's Musings

Well, I've pulled out the beading kit several times this past week. Not only have I made some new earrings, but I also took apart some of my old earrings and remade them using the new techniques and some of the things that I have learned about attractive design since I first made them. I have spent close to a hundred dollars on beads and findings recently, but at least part of that was at a rummage sale, where I picked up some lovely focus beads on the cheap. Despite that, I am once again out of gold earring hooks. Either I have to go back to silver, or buy some more gold ones. Frankly, except in a few cases, I really prefer using the gold-tone findings, as it appears to lend a much more finished look. Besides, my watch and rings are all gold-tone, and this way my earrings match properly.

And that's it for now. This upcoming week, I'm planning to get started on my summer sewing projects. First, I will read the manual for my new sewing machine. Next, I will do the mending, etc. that has piled up. Then, I have two pillow covers to make. Then, I'm making mom two flaxseed pillows. Then, a muslin pressing cloth. Then, an apron for my brother. Then, it will finally be time to make the muslin for my new skirt. I wouldn't bother, except that I'm a little concerned about the fit around the hips and waist. Finally, if all goes well, I will start on the actual skirt early next week. So expect more pictures soon.
