Just call me magpie

Ah, pretty sparkly things. I love them all. Goes right against my usual Birkenstock wearing, no makeup, wash my hair and comb it as a "style" self, but there you have it. A shiny, sparkly bead will turn my head every single time.

I've been lusting after beaded stitch markers for quite some time now, so I decided to do something about it. Bought some beads, jump rings, t wires, and borrowed Dan's needle nose pliers and went to town. Soon I had a set of stitch markers and a pile of beads remaining. Some rummaging through my craft boxes revealed earring wires, so I made a set as well. So sparkly! So shiny! Must. Make. More.

    Thanks for your insightful comment,
    so rarely does anyone *get* what i mean when i say it isn't always a good thing to have Perfect Recall.

  2. Yeah, perfect recall is not your friend when it comes to little ones, is it? Hopefully it will be more useful when my oldest grows up, but for now there are things I wish he'd just let go of.

    Glad you like the stitch markers - had a lot of fun with them :-)
