My carpal tunnel stitches come out next Thursday and I’ve been given the green light to start beading again, albeit in moderation…fifteen minutes at a time with a rest period of an hour in between.  No marathon beading for quite a while, but I’m thrilled to be able to pick up needle and thread again! I’ve decided that tube beads are the perfect project for the time being as they work up quickly and can be used in numerous projects. And they are the perfect vehicle for testing various pattern designs! I intend to chart these designs as I go along…I think a fun tutorial will be the end result.  Stay tuned!
