Recovering

After last week’s post, I was feeling gun-shy about looming. I really don’t enjoy making mistakes and I am also good at beating myself up over them. I picked myself up by the boot straps today and literally had to make myself get back in the saddle. Knowing I am ordering my beads for the big project tomorrow, I have to make something small for now. I opened the bead program with a barrette in mind. After many attempts at using a fabric image in the program, I finally settled on one I liked. Summery and floral.

Spin it sideways and it is going to be a barrette. Of course I will be adding fringe as well. Here is a photo of what I have done so far (not the best pic). I will be finishing the whole piece tomorrow and will share a step by step finishing series of pics.

By this time next week, I will have my large piece going! Time to get excited 🙂
