When Inspiration Won't Strike

I had all manner of grand plans cooked up a couple of months ago, to post more frequently here and to start selling on Etsy. But you know what they say about good intentions, and summer is slipping away pretty quickly. I haven't really been in a jewelry-making mood, as any time I'm not spending at work is being spent with friends, outside, or with my nose in a book. Hopefully, inspiration will strike soon and I'll be beading up a frenzy. Until then, I think I'll enjoy the warm weather, some delicious iced beverages and a few moments to catch my breath.

Charmed, I'm Sure

My latest beading obsession is stemwear decor - wineglass charms. I think it's so cool to get to dress up your glasses, and to be able to tell whose glass is whose. I've made several sets so far, and they are pretty simple, and a good use for some of the leftover beads I've had from other projects. The best part -- they are super-quick, and I get so busy in the summer that I don't have time to sit down and do any major projects. This way, I'm at least sort of fulfilling my creative urges!
