I have the idea for the final piece, but the chapters still to do seem like weights holding down the urge to get on and create it, so positive thinking I'm going to make a "To Do list" and see if this will help.

It amazes me that on Summer school, or any work shop I attend, I can get so much done in such a short amount of time. I can procrastinate for England when at home, there is always the food shopping or washing, vacuuming etc to do, and yes I can sit at the computer and blog when I should be working on my coursework! So I shall hopefully be posting each evening what I have done each day. Even if it is only a small amount.
Today I shall be working on the Bead Samples. I have 4 canvasses ready and here is what I have done so far.
This sample will show how three different sizes of beads can cover a square in three ways, sparcely through to completely.

Hallo Alison, it's always a pleasure to read your news! I love your new header and I absolutely admire your to do list, that's fantastic, I am tempted to use it too (may I?) since we're keeping the same pace. I know, I know, summer school is looming, we have to keep going and it's still a loooong way ... I find tassels a bit difficult (made four so far, but my fingers are still clumsy), and I'm looking forward to buttons (fun!!). I plan to be working on beading in April and get focussed on the accessory design just in time to meet next July. Bye for now
