Beads and Homework

Hey! I beaded! Honestly! I finished my necklace for the FAE Team Challenge, and started something pretty and coppery and Victorian-y that I'll hopefully have ready in time to wear to the Swarovski party next month. Tomorrow I shall attempt some photographs.

I also did my belly dance homework. We were assigned to do 100 little shoulder rolls on each side every day, to improve arm fluidity for those dreaded snake arms. And while I have been doing rolls every day, they've mostly been while I was watching TV or talking with Chris and couldn't really focus on counting. Today I actually counted, so that I could be sure that I did my homework as assigned at least once. Daisy greatly approves of this particular drill, as I can do it seated on the couch with at least one corgi in my lap. Usually she has to go in her crate when I practice, because the dogs believe that dancing is a sign that I want to wrestle with them.

And that is pretty much my weekend, aside from the time I spent running errands and reading magazines yesterday. Oh, the excitement!

Oh yeah, beads. I like those.

This is supposed to be a beading/jewelry blog, but I don't seem to be talking about those things lately. Here it is, more than two weeks into the year, and the closest I've come to making jewelry is swapping out some earwires on some cheap World Market earrings that I wore to class on Thursday. Well, that and picking out all the beads for my Old Moon necklace.

It's not that I don't like beads and jewelry anymore, it's just that my life feels so full of belly dance, gym workouts, and gaming, all of which have their own specific times. Meanwhile, beading doesn't have an assigned time slot in my life, and all my free time gets wasted on silly things like Facebook. It's definitely time to fix that.
