So.
I went to the bead store today.
Picked up new jade (balls), green aventurine chips, moss agate chips, a string of... Indian Agate (looks a bit like fancy jasper, but with nifty patterns in the stone), and a bunch of odds and sods that allow me to actually Make Stuff. Whee!
Also went to the online bead store and placed a large (for me) order:
lapis lazuli, sodalite (x2), hematite (x3[1]), "african jade" - aka opaque green garnet - (x3), little silver-plated balls, little gold-plated balls, and a package of gold-plated lever-backed earring hooks. This stuff won't be here until, like, Hallowe'en. Unless I'm very lucky. ;-)
I want to make Miz Sara a three-strand bracelet with a magnetic clasp. And I'm having trouble deciding whether to do it in moss-agate or green aventurine. Honestly, I may just do one of each. I'm really not sure. :-P
The Indian Agate will be strung onto beading wire as-is (little round balls separating four or five big rectangles) thus becoming an insta-bracelet with the addition of a gold clasp -- this will be one of the DIY presents I make for xmas - this one for my mom).
Anyway/ I have been plotting and beading all evening (well, once I got the dishes washed, anyway). :-)
Made a fresh bottle of sumac/rosehip/hibiscus iced tea -- sweetened with apple juice and a little maple syrup (the latter is a new addition). It's a good combination, I find. :-)
I've decided to try, when I'm buying juice, to get stuff that comes in glass bottles or in cans. This may be a problem when it comes to getting the apple cider in for Midwinter, but beyond that it should be fine.
Along the same lines as the whole cans/glass decision (although I have yet to switch my milk over to glass bottles, I confess), I've been looking at soy and beeswax candles again.
Not like I don't have a zillion candles, but it's good to Be Prepared, so to speak.
Anyway. I'm looking into things. :-)
Won't be buying anything else frivolous for a little while -- rent, food, bus-pass, all that stuff's important, after all. ;-)
- TTFN,
- Amazon.
