I wanted to stay home with Cola today but I had to run a few errands so I went out.  A local bead store was having a pre-holiday sale so I went there and bought some seed beads.  It seems like quite a few people are into beading, and I am so happy.  I discovered another beading store owned by some Chinese people. Most of the beads they have are not the kind of beads that I like (they don't sparkle), but I think it's a good place to buy cheap beads for other projects.  I remember I couldn't find any beading stores around here and now I know four places, including one major retailer, near where I live!  Very happy.  I can't wait until I am financially settled so I can invest more money in beading.  I have so many projects formulating in my head and I just hope that one day I will be able to make them all come true.  With my new sewing ambitions, I hope I have time to tackle all I want to do!
