Beautiful Beads

Didn't get much knitting done this last weekend, because we spent TWO full days at the Rock and Gem Show! It was very awesome; Bloomington has one of the best Rock and Gem Shows in the region and as I have two rockhounds in the family it must be an all-day event (well, kind of... I had to go back to work for a couple hours on Friday - couldn't get off entirely...).

But the really exciting thing is that I got lots and lots of beautiful beads for wholesale prices:
Beads
Look how pretty they are! You are jealous; I know you are. I am so friggin' excited right now. I wish my craft room was finished so that I could just lay everything out to stare at for hours, but I must be patient.

I still have this nagging voice in the back of my head telling me that the last thing I need right now is to start another hobby, but I am ignoring that voice because it is no fun.

Anyway, since I finished my FSM birthday present, I have moved on to trying to make my lace mitts. Right now I have about five rows done and it looks like total crap. I am hoping that it will improve as I go along, but we will see.

I'm totally jealous of all your beautiful beads! I love beads!! But I'll control my jealousy because I'm deeply and everlastingly grateful for the FSM pattern that you so graciously shared with all of us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
