Beads R Us

Intent beaders at work.

I recently decided I need to have more human interaction outside of work. Sometimes it feels like all I do is go to work and back. I decided to invite some women over for lunch and a beading party.

A few years back I started a few beading projects and beaded profusely for a year or two. I used to like to work with very small beads called Delicas. Shortly thereafter I started wearing reading glasses. Hmmmm, I wonder if there was a correlation?

It seems like when I moved to Arizona I stopped beading. So for this party, I decided that I would put my beads out there at the party and let my friends pick and choose what they wanted to use and to make a necklace, bracelet or earrings.

I wish I would have taken more photos. It was pretty fun. We had some good food, wine and everyone went home with some home-made jewelry. We spread out in two rooms and set up extra tables for supplies.

A few of the invitees ended up being beaders also and brought some supplies to share. There were some pretty creative pieces made.

I have one new friend, L, that I met on the internet who came. This was the first time we met. She ended up being such a nice person and interesting too. I'm so glad I invited her.

I need to do this more often. Life is good.
