>Grains of Sand
>
I just got home from work a couple of ago. I was setting up the Urban Nutcracker at the John Hancock Hall in downtown Boston. The John Hancock Hall is a small theatre, and this show is kind of big, so it seems like a lot of work, although it's really not...
Anways, most people like to wind down after work by watching TV for an hour, but not me. (Mostly because I don't have anyone to watch TV with...) Instead, I like to relax by working on my piece for awhile. But, first, I had a bite to eat and a bottle of Honest Tea when I got home. This is what was printed on the inside of the bottle cap:
This is so true. In beadwork, little things can wear me out. Like my thread gets knotted. Or, seed beads spill onto the floor. Or, I accidentally stab myself with the needle. *ouch* But then, I look at what goals I would like to accomplish, and I keep on beading... What are your 'grains of sand' and how do you continue on your journey to the top of the mountain?
After thinking about that, I looked at the clock. It was 11pm. I wanted to see how much bead embroidery I could accomplish in just one hour before I went to bed. As you can see, I completed the left side of my love seat. Not bad...
The next question is: Do I have enough topaz seed beads to fill in the rest of this area? And, if not, exactly what can I accomplish with my remaining 'grains of sand'??
