Cleaning Should Be Banned!

Every time I go into the workroom to find something, I feel guilty and start cleaning... I should never be allowed to start cleaning!

When I do, I always find something that causes me to get distracted...

This morning It was beads... Or I should say cabochons.

I decided that it would be a good idea to clean out a couple of the jewelry boxes while I was in there.

I was looking at jewelry on Pinterest while eating breakfast and drinking my coffee... That's another thing that I should not do... No Pinterest with breakfast!  

Walter leaves for golf and I sit down and start Pinterest-ing... Bad!!!

I get in the most trouble when I start looking at bead work and jewelry...

One of the things in there reminded me of a couple of things that I had that were almost finished...

That suggests to me that I should look for the pieces and try to finish them... 

For example, this piece needs to be cut off of the backing and beaded around the edge and it will be a nice pendant or a pin.

We won't talk about the above tray full of stones that need to be finished... Nope.  Not talking about those at all!

I also found a BIG piece of pleated Shibori silk that I bought at a mini show a few years ago.  I thought that it would make interesting mini clothing...

Unfortunately, this is the first time that Tessie has been in the room when I have had it out...

I have been seeing beadwork on Pinterest with Shibori silk mixed in.  Very pretty.  And I even have stones that will go with it...

I also have Tessie egging me on...  Not a good combination. 

Somebody please stop me!  I need to work on minis.  No more beading... Well maybe I will just finish the one that is almost done... Then back to Pinterest.

See you tomorrow!

Yes, Pinterest gets me all the time...usually after a few hours, and I can't see straight anymore, I have to drag myself away! So addicting!
