While on my summer trip, I worked on a couple of projects. This is all the further I got on this project!

It’s so much easier to keep working on a project than to go back to it after a break. Especially when the instructions are in German, and I’m trying to figure it out mostly from the diagrams! I’m also having thread problems; it’s tangling very easily. I usually don’t wax unless I need stiffness, and I don’t know where my Thread Heaven is. I should try waxing.
My other traveling project was a gift, so that blogging will have to occur later!
And the other project is getting back to Beading for a Cure, with that deadline of early August bearing down on me, and I think I’m starting over.




With this one, I was hoping to get it to lay more flush to the ceramic bead, but instead I get this floppy amorphous thing.
The third time was not the charm — I want the lentils to be next to the ceramic bead.
Okay! Something I can use, I think. There’s more pink/red showing than I originally planned, but I’m going to make two of these and see what I can do.
