Beading break

I decided to take a short break from beading this evening, since I spent all of yesterday evening and this afternoon (minus Yoga class) beading. Cthulhu's right leg is almost done, as is my brooch for swapping. Though I like this brooch so much that it will be hard to let it go! I'll have to get more cabs from Dolly in February, they're simply beautiful.

Tomorrow, Chris will be in CA for a business trip (flying out early morning, flying home late at night), so I'll again spend almost all day beading -- though time will also have to be made for laundry and packing. I have to get out my winter clothes, because it's going to be COLD in Tahoe. I have to find the pretty chenille scarf that Mom made for me, which I've worn all of once because I live in the desert. And I have to somehow fit 5 days worth of clothes, beads, jewelry, oatmeal, tea and toiletries plus my laptop, digital camera, and a book into one checked bag, one carry-on, and one personal item. Too bad Chris won't be home to help me pack, he's really good at it. I always say "You'll never fit all that into one bag" and yet he makes it happen.

Delicious!

There are some benefits to Chris being gone. The main one is that I eat whatever I want. Tonight I had lobster ravioli and truffle flat bread. He eats neither crustaceons nor fungus, so these were rare treats for me. And delicious treats. Mmmm. I'll eat the rest of the flat bread tomorrow, with either a chicken patty or marinated ahi steak (he'd actually eat those, I won't spend the entire week on a shellfish and mushroom binge).

I've made some fun progress on Cthulhu today. I think you'll like what you see tomorrow.
