Ok, so I'm basically talking to myself at the moment. I really should update my blog more often. No point having a blog if I don't make any posts...
So. I'm at University studying Science. I have had three exams in the first-ish week of June, and my last one is tomorrow!!! Can't wait to be finished for the sememster. So, as a result I have banned myself from beading until the exam is done. That didn't mean I couldn't dream about it, or surf the net about it, or read books and magazines about it...
I have several projects lined up for my 4.5 week holiday. Doesn't seem long enough, only a month, but ah well. So, projects. Well, I have two necklaces to finish for a friend, she's been waitin a while so I'd better get those done ASAP. On July 30 my cousin is holding a trivia and fundraiser night for her SIDS work in China, and I've been asked to donate a few pieces for the silent auction. Well, not donate. She's going to buy them off me.
Enough of the selling pieces. My other projects include a beaded evening bag for my older sister's 21st birthday, and a bead embroidered mask for me for her masquerade themed party. There's not enough time!!!! I shall make time. :P
Anyway, better go study some more français before the exam tomorrow... Maybe I'll break my pledge and do some beading when I get sick of it... :P
Catch ya next time!!

I'm really happy with this piece. It took approximately 50 hours to create, although that is not exact, as I don't usually time the creating process.
Thankyou for looking! :)

Welcome!
Hi and welcome to my new blog. This is where I'll post up all my new beading projects and related topics.
I am a self taught beader from Australia and have been beading for about 4 years, seriously. I love bead weaving, and have recently started bead embroidery.
Please check out my shop: www.megbeads.etsy.com I'd really appreciate it.
