Stop me before I pick up another hobby!

[gnomi]

So, on Sunday, in and among everything else that we did, I went to a Sisterhood meeting at our shul at which the activity was beading your own bracelet. And I had a really good time doing it. A really good time. So much so that I started thinking beading thoughts. But I don't need a new hobby. I really don't.

And then The Oriental Trading Company sent me a catalog of beads. Including penguin beads. And that little voice in my head said, "Penguin earrings! You could make penguin earrings!"

But I don't need a new hobby...


but maybe I want one? I'm still thinking thoughts of taking up spinning, as well.

Oh, come on, you know you want to! And there's plenty of room for new addicts over here in the beading corner. It's just so nicely portable, and depending on the project it makes for almost immediate gratification (sit down for an hour and you've got a lovely new necklace) or a really nice, slow burn (right now I'm working on a beaded wall hanging with a huge, coiled snake at the center). I'm hoping the wall hanging'll be done sometime before the end of the year. Maybe. If I don't change my mind again about what I'm doing with the border.

Enabler!

I'm starting with the longing-looks-at-beads stage and getting books from the library about jewelry making. If the desire still is with me after that stage, then I'll branch into the buying-supplies stage.
