Took The Time To Bead Today

This morning, Patrick wasn't doing very well. I tried to keep quiet and let him sleep. He spent most of the day in bed. 

When he was up and in the living room, I moved to the computer room. I wanted to learn how to make the earrings that are on YouTube.  I liked them and thought I could make a pair. 

First, I tried with Delica 11/0 beads. She was working it with seed beads 11/0. They are different from each other. I didn't like the way this one was coming out. It didn't lay very well, and it was more a pain to work with. 

So, I went through a couple of my kits to see if seed beads were in there. I found what I was looking for, just not in the colors I wanted. This is actually black, yellow and white, but it doesn't come out that color on the boards I used. 

I took it apart a couple times. Then I reworked it. The video is so easy to understand without words. I was going along with the video, stopping it till I was where I wanted to be and turning it back on. It worked out great. 

It ended up taking longer than I thought. It's not laying the way I want it to, and I may do another one again. I like the pattern, and it was easier than I thought it would be. I enjoyed making them. It just took all afternoon because I started with the wrong beads. 

Afterwards, I took the seed bead kit that I was making a few years back and am taking it apart so I can use the beads for something else. I will do that pattern with delica beads because I think it will come out better if I do. 

So, may whole day was beading - which left me Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
