Yesterday afternoon I assembled the beads and started stitching a necklace idea that popped into my head on Saturday, so this is what is on my workbench this morning:
Some amethyst nuggets, some amethyst and ametrine chips, and some gold freshwater pearls. And I stitched up 2 brick stitch connectors for the design, in Jet AB 4mm cubes (I know, what other color would I choose, right?)
Stay tuned tomorrow to find out why I allowed myself to start a new project! (Gosh, I hope you can sleep tonight lol)
So, for a little personal digression, here:
We are having a stunningly gorgeous day today - it is 65 degrees, the sun is shining, birds are singing - beautiful! Other than having a slight headache while driving to work, a great day! So I decided to allow myself a treat, and I pulled through the Chic-Fil-A drive thru to get a fountain Diet Coke - YUM! I stuck the cup in the car's cupholder, and continued across the street to the shop (yes, I am right across the street from Chic-Fil-A), and lifted the cup to take a long gulp, and discovered they had given me Coke. Not my delicious Diet Coke, but nasty sweet Coke. I know my friend, Sonya, understands how this can ruin a mood!
So, of course, I had to get rid of it - I don't like the taste anyway, but I could never drink all that sugar (though I could certainly consume 10 times as much sugar in the form of Krispy Kreme chocolate iced cream-filled donuts, but that's different. That's the Breakfast of Champions!)
So now I am settling for a canned Caffeine-Free Diet Coke, and blogging while listening to The View. Where "the ladies" (and good grief, do I use that term loosely) are having a big, loud, rant, led by Whoopi, about Whitney Houston, Drew Pinksy, and Nancy Grace. With Elisabeth chiming in her 42 cents. It's a "View-ha-ha"! I crack myself up!
Have a great day!

Hi, Jean!
Just a silly little post this morning - I have hours of beadweaving ahead of me for my Bead Soup Blog Party project, with the beautiful beads sent to me by my partner, Tammy Jones of Jewelry Making Daily.
And speaking of Tammy, she made a wonderful post about the Bead Soup Blog Party (BSBP) yesterday. Although I am not sure how I got this reputation for being hilarious...?!?! LOL
But I peeked at my blog this morning, and the little rotating Facebook widget showed Jean Campbell's smiling face as someone who likes Sweet Freedom Designs, and that just kind of was like a sign from the universe, that yes, I should get off this computer and go bead weave. Stat!! 'Cause Jean is one of my beadweaving idols....and those beads over there on my desk aren't going to weave themselves!
Like I said, silly post... off to weave now.
