It’s all my friend Heather’s fault.  Really.  When my computer died and I was floundering for something to do…because I don’t have thirty other projects that need to be done, I noticed that she had made some jewelry and put it on our craft site.

“Hmmm,” I thought.   “I’ve never made anything like that…I’ll bet I could though.”  So I went to Michael’s Crafts and bought a few things.   By the following weekend I had made nine trips to Michael’s and had put together a dozen or so necklaces and a heap of memory wire bracelets.  I began to research more medieval and rennaissance period patterns and colors for necklaces and was collecting Michael’s coupons from wherever I could find them.

Then the evil…I mean malevolent…I mean wonderful Heather, told me about a bead company online.  I made an order for…twenty-eight pounds of beads.  Subsequently I made a somewhat larger order.   I am waiting for my fourth order to arrive sometime this week.  I will tell you more about this amazing company after you have fully comprended the extent of my addict…hobby….HOBBY.  It’s just another Hobby.

Here for your viewing pleasure is a picture of the last few weeks worth of handiwork.  No spare moment left unbeaded…

Over 150 Necklaces in the past few weeks...that's just a hobby right?
