Beading Merrily Along

Welcome back to my insane world of beading. Well, technically it's welcome to any insane world I happen to be residing in at the moment.

I'm not sure if I mentioned how many beads my latest project has in it. Since I don't remember, I'll post it here. :-D It has 10,100 beads. Well, technically 10,101 right now as I messed up last night and accidentally added a bead where one shouldn't have been. Now, don't start quizzing me on why I didn't go back and remove it. I will ask you a question though. Why is it that I always find my largest errors, usually ones that should be fixed, right after I tie in a new thread? To fix the error, I would have to remove several rows of beads, even if the mistake was right before the tie in point. *sigh* Too many knots. The thread has already been trimmed after being hidden. Usually, I just try and bluff my way through the mistake. :-D

By the end of this evening, I do believe that I will be a whopping 1/5 of the way finished with my latest project. That's not that bad as I think I've only been working on it for about 2-3 days. Each section holds 2,020 beads, so that is not too bad. I'm cruising merrily along. If I keep this up, this little mini-tapestry might even be finished within 2-3 weeks. Too bad I'm already looking around myself going, "I want to do another one. Where's a pattern for a new one?" LOL

With that, I'm going to go take another look at where I'm at in my project and then get a move on for the day. There's plenty I need to be doing and I just need to be content to work on my beading in the evening. :-)
