Geeky joy.
I just placed the order to make my blue goldstone jewelry set.
That should yield a bracelet, a two-loop memory-wire necklace, and a pair of earrings. I hope that the blue goldstone is enough, but I can always order more. It was much, much cheaper at Shipwreck than it was at Fire Mountain Gems. I also got some pretty odds and ends and supplies. I'm on a total blue and green kick at the moment.
It's official, I've now spent approximately $150 on beads (including my Beadazzled trip) to get back in the habit of making pretty, shiny things. Sure, most of them are for gifts and the like, but you know what? It brings me pleasure.
